When using a VFD that has the ability to output a logic signal when a fault occurs, is it possible to have KMotionCNC read the input an execute a program that...
It's not clear what would give the best result, to do a feedhold or kill all the axes? Below is some "watchdog" code that runs continuously and when it sees...
I ve just started with KMotion, i ve KMotion board . I ve connected the encoder channels A and B to the KMotion JP3 pins 15 and 16. Now I want to test the...
Azed, Run the Kmotion.exe program. Since you have a KMotion board. Make sure the KFLOP option is not checked under the option menu. Open the Axis Screen....
Thanks TK for your reply I ve tried this itw orsk with the SnapAmp but not with the Kmotion. could it be that the default setup of the IO pins is digital...
Hi Azed, All IO pins should default as inputs. You can verify this on the Digital IO Screen. Axis channel #0 defaults to read encoder channel #0 which would...
HI TK with Snap Amp its working fine, however with KMotion, some times i have to dbl click on the OUTPUTS before it works, I dont know why!. The other thing is...
Hi Azed, Regarding Encoder connected to KMotion: A single click should change the IO to an output (not a double click). It's not a good idea to connect two...
Hi Tom tyhank you very much for your reply. u r right this was the reason. I ve already checked the signal with OSC. and it drops down after connection.with...
Hi Azed, BTW all the console data gets logged to a disk file called log.txt within the KMotion\Data subdirectory. However if you want to write selected data to...
Thank you very much, that is really helpfull I ve another question, I ve a motor with a break, do I need to use a relay to switch the break on/off or i can...
You should be able to drive the Brake directly with the Kanalog Relay Switches (Mosfets) if it requires 24V and 1 amp or less. Make sure to add a reverse...
Hi Tom Remember Texonics? I am Mark S we talked several times last year (2008) I had an engineer leave and a couple big projects and I didn't have time to...
Hi Mark, Good to hear from you. Those sound like good plans. Users are always looking for a good source for servo motors. Yes the Mach3 plugin has the basics...
I am currently looking at using a DynoMotion Card to replace our current motion card. Our current motion card uses the ISA bus and LM628. We are pretty...
Hi All, I am using Kflop withe the latest Firmware. the problem the cars green leds flashes for so long time, and i have to switch on and off the power to get...
Hi Azd, How long do they Flash? With a USB connected and no application running they should flash for ~ 3 seconds. With no USB cable connected they should...
Hi All I am using Kflop+ kanalog with 4.12 frimware. However, the encoder channels on channel 1 is not working. i checked the Digital I/O its in the input...
Hi Azeddien, The way differential signals work is that you must put one input high and the other low to control the output. Putting the + signal at +5V and...
Thankyou Mr. TK very much for ur immediate response, however i have another question; what is the maximum number of axes i can have with Kflop+ kanalog...
Hi Azeddien, KFlop currently only contains 4 single ended quadtrature encoder counters. Kanalog converts these to 8 differential inputs. The 8 remaining...
Hi Tom, I am working on robot project where six axes of encoder feedback is needed. I will try with SanpAmp. however, if there is one board with six encoder...
Azeddien, Let us see if we can add more encoder channel to KFlop. It will probably take a week or two. TK ________________________________ From: Azd Md...
