Hi Art, I know you cruise this forum, what is the present 'State of the Art' or 'Art's state' for the Grex/Mach combination, some of us don't belong to the ...
Hi Belli: I just released an updated MAch3 plugin this week. The G100 is fully running under current firmware, but the spindle cannot be controlled other than...
Thanks Art, mine is in the mail and I am quite looking forward to getting it. Greg ... From: "art" <fenerty@...> To: <geckodrive@yahoogroups.com> Sent:...
I've been posting about this problem on the Mach yahoo list but it has been narrowed down to the point I think it might be more relevent here. Sorry about the...
Sorry Mariss, I hate to flog a old horse but can you clarify which is the better route here. I'm not sure if I should just be pulling the main power to my ...
Hi Just been reading your thread. My G100 presently isn't connected to any servos at all, I also have the mill in bits, so the G100 sits on the sofa in the...
No matter what it is still a problem with the G100 because the drive does not stop on the rise of the pulse but the fall so when you do a restart the pulse...
Thanks to both Mark and Harko for the thoughts. Mark, I won't be able to do what you suggest until wed. as I'm out of the country on business until then. I...
Yes the problem does look to be the G100, but it is important before pointing to Mariss that we identify it is not noise from the servo drives feeding back...
Good Day, I don't have a solution for your problem, I have not purchased a G100 yet. I noticed you mentioned the Teknic 1500, I have a couple I cannot get them...
I hope this is not too far off topic. I'm desperate, this is for a project coming up at work. I've asked this question on a couple of other sites with no...
... G100 yet. I noticed you mentioned the Teknic 1500, I have a couple I cannot get them to run S&D. Hello, some Teknic 1500 are s&d some are torque and speed....
Thanks very much, Sorry to take you off topic. I have seen those software scopes, I downloaded one, eons ago but never loaded it, now I will have. I was using...
Hello, I just bought a new G201 and noticed the rev status is at H6. I plan to use it on a 3-axis mill along with a couple G201s I picked up a while back. The...
... I did find a document that said it uses "Mitutoyo original serial format". Maybe original means proprietary. But, that sounds hopeful that it might be an...
Hi guys, This may be a little off topic from what you guys are trying to do, but I had a question on the G201 disable inputs. Basically what I want to do is be...
Jim, I'm not sure that you can tie them together, this was why I was wanting to use these 4n35 opto-isolators. They'll keep the signal separate and do the job...
The disable input is tied to the logic ground on the drive, connecting all the logic grounds together will open the way for noise to enter the drive. Best...
Greg, according to Mariss [one of the last time's I talked to him] was that I should short term 7 to term 12, this would disable the drive. However after...
The Estop should kill the power supply. And in that circuit a dump resistor for the filter caps should be used. I don't think there is anything that can be...
I normally use a contactor between the transformer and rectifier. You can use an auxiliary contact on the contactor to dump a low resistance power resistor...
Regarding a series AT715 Linear Encoder made by Mitutoyo. ... Tom, I suggest contacting Graham Burrows from www.hobbymetrix.com which shows the Yadro PC...
Interesting problem but I don't think it's G100 hardware related. I ... Goes to show the firmware/hardware works OK. ... (2) There is nothing special about our...
"H6" is the warrantee date code. "A" is January, "B" is February, etc. while "6" means 2006. The drive revision number is REV-11 which can be found (screened...
For safe Estop of your servo's your Estop contactor should be between the caps and the servo cards. If you put is between rectifier and transformer then you...
Perhaps I got my replies mixed up, I was referring to a method that if you want to 'free wheel' the motor, ie you have handwheels on the machine then this is...
Thanks all for your input... I'm sure you can all see why I'm confused. In the space of 1/2 a day we had 2 major different opinions on how to do it, as well...
Hi Jarrett, The enabls (disable) does have place in a CNC controller. I use it to turn off an axis so that I can fine adjust the axis buy turning the knob on...
... Thanks for the response Mariss. Yes I'm using Mach3. ... Well my only reason for looking at the firmware at all is two fold. Both drives work perfectly on...
