Hi, My name if Frank, i am trying to control a MAHo MH-300-C with an Kanalog. I can control the motor's with the DAC outputs -> 3TRM2 -> Motor this part work...
Hi Frank, I'm not familiar with that encoder type. But if there are 5 connections then it is usually a single ended TTL encoder with: +5 Ground A-Quadrature ...
Hi TK, Tank you for you quick replay! The encoder isn't directly connected to the motor, but it is an linear encoder. I found a pdf file with a lot of...
Hi Frank, If they are analog sine/cosine signals and they are less than +/-10V then you should be able to connect them to two Analog inputs on JP6. Configure...
I hope this will help provide some better understanding on how parameters and settings are Downloaded, Uploaded, Saved, Loaded, Converted to C Code, and...
Nice work and description of the various processes Tom. Marty ... From: DynoMotion@yahoogroups.com [mailto:DynoMotion@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of TKSOFT ...
Hi Tom Its been awhile but my machine is finished and all motors are running. I have had good results with the motion on axis 0 and 2. The axis 1 motor is...
Hi Judleroy! Well it definitely appears to be an encoder position measurement problem. A motor or amplifier problem can not cause such a problem. A bad...
Thanks Tom I traced the problem to the cable. The Y axis still runs away at rapid speeds? Could this be a tuning issue or maybe a resonance issue? The encoder...
Hi Jared, A very common cause for "run away" is that you have positive feedback instead of negative feedback. This causes any error to get bigger and bigger...
Tom, I have a 500 line quadrature encoder, so I should get 2000 lines per rotation. I am in Kmotion and looking at the axis mode screen. When I turn the...
I will add, that I am leaning toward connecting Z+ to JP2 #1, and Z- to JP2 #2 ....but if this is correct, how do I tie these in via the software? and will...
Hi Gregg, Not sure why the position is dropping counts. Possibly noise or ringing on the signals? Looking with the scope should help. How long is the...
That would work. The Z index pulse would show up as KFlop Input Bit 36. Your C Language homing program would have to make use of that input however you wish...
I would have expected noise or ringing to cause dropping in both the CW and CCW directions. But then again, everything we considered also would result in...
Hi Gregg, No don't connect a motor directly to the DAC outputs. You need to have an amplifier. The DAC outputs can only drive milliamps where "C" battery...
Hi again Tom I seem to be having a similar problem as another user. The encoders hold count on the axis screen when nothing else is running. Here is what I...
Hi Jared, That sounds like noise. I doubt that it is a problem with the +5V power. Noise problems can be very complex. Single ended encoders are more...
Ok Tom I'm a little confused. I connected the machine to earth ground. Then I connected the motor sheilding to the machine frame next to each motor mount. I...
Hi Jared, ... good ... good ... good ... At the end of the encoder cable near KMotion JP3, connect the shield to GND (ie JP3 pin 40). Both the encoder GND...
Hi TK, I am going to using Kflop with Mach3, I don't understand the C program inside the Mach 3 plug-in, just like the following section: main() { int msg =...
Hi Benny, This is a general mechanism that you can use when you want something in Mach3 to tell KFlop to do something. First a unique notification message...
Hi TK, Thanks a lot for your prompt respond to my question, but now, I am a little bit confuse, in my understanding, Mach 3 should be interface with Kflop...
Hi TK, I would like to drive the MR-J2S servo system by KFlop open collector output, according to servo system manual, the input side internal circuit look...
Hi Benny, Handling the events in a C program allows total flexibility in how the event is handled. For example when Mach3 sends the command to set the...
Hi Benny, No you can NOT connect 24V opto signals to KFlop Open collector outputs. The outputs are diode clamped to the the 3.3V power, so they are limited...
Hi TK, The 24V source is not directly connected to the opto-coupler, there is a resister (1.2K) between then for bias purpose, just like the following diagram:...
Hi TK, From you manual, it said there are max 7 thread of C program can be store and execute in KFlop, but I have following questions regarding to this...
Hi Benny, The problem is that when the KFlop output goes "open" it is still diode clamped to 3.3V and can't rise above ~4V. So when the KFlop output goes...
