You can actually run Sigmawin and EMC2 at the same time. If the drive and motor work with Sigmawin, it should work with EMC2. Use shielded cables for ALL signals and encoder lines.

Re: [Emc-users] Mesa 5i20 and hm2
Seb, Yes, I know what an encoder is and why. I use Yaskawa motors and drives that have indexes. I do not use steppers. The older m5i20 driver implemented index homing quite nicely. The index makes sure the home is very accurate. Before the m5i20 driver is removed, it would be good to have the new hm2 drive function correctly and in a similar manner. Not being a programmer, especially a vhdl programmer, I have to leave that up to others, for whom I am quite grateful. I can, though, debug pretty well because if something can get messed up, I can certainly do the messing. If I have to change to the 'm' version .bit file, so be it. I have one commercial installation of EMC2 with an m5i20 board, and am hoping for more. When my test system is up and running again, I will be happy to donate it as an 'example' for inclusion in the distribution. So, at this point I just need to figure out how to get index homing working with the hm2 driver, if it is indeed possible. Thanks again to all the developers and contributors for all the hard work.

Index homing is a feature of the rotary encoder mounted to the motor shaft of a servo motor. A servo is not a servo without an encoder. The encoder provides position feedback to the servo controller. Stepper motors do not (in general) have encoders; the discrete motion of the motor itself acts as the position transducer. Some configurations use non-rotary encoders, and some use encoders in conjunction with stepper motors. While these kinds of system csertainly should be doable, I've personally never done it, and neither of the two hostmot2 sample configs is set up to deal with it "out of the box". -- Sebastian Kuzminsky "Like most small parts, they are concrete-soluble: you drop them once, they're gone forever." -- John Bush -- Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.

HM2 encoder index homing works (to the best of my knowledge), though I dont think the hm2-servo config supports homing. For proper home-on-index you probably want to use the 5i20/SVST8_4IM2.BIT firmware, since it supports index masking. You'd normally use the limit/home switch as the index mask. > Also, in the supplied example for the servo 5i20 hm2 configuration, > there is only a servo thread.

Hi all ! Now this is just a concept to provoke some thought. What about an "open-frame" machine? Say we make a wide "railway line" of chain on a large concrete floor - bolted down to the floor like (maybe raised 100mm or so on steel stand-offs). Then we construct a "trolley" style gantry the width of the fuselage, or wing-chord, which claws it's way along the track with LARGE sprockets, running on the floor with rubber wheels. A strip of angle or some such down the center of the "tracks" to provide steerage for the trolley-gantry Accuracy dependent on the floor being level, but for this project 5mm should be easily accommodated.

Re: [Emc-users] Tune up- HAL Oscilloscope.
Aram, 2 PID loops are ok to use, just a bit more difficult to tune. I use Yaskawa motors/drives with the m5i20 & 7i33. I have to tune the yaskawa drive and motor first with yaskawa software and get them running smoothly. Usually I tune them fairly 'soft', that is not very stiff (in velocity mode). Then I tune them with EMC. It can be a bit tricky, but patience pay off. The motor/drive tuning is very important!! Also, since there are more parameters, it is a good idea to 'write it down' so you don't go around in circles. Good luck. Noel.

Re: [Emc-users] Attempt to design servo based DIY CNC for Sherline fromOOB components
Sergey, For an inexpensive servo drive: http://www.xavien.com/ look at the 'Robotics' page. I have several of their XDDCMD-1 drives. They work fine with the Mesanet m5i20 board. Simple and inexpensive. The 18200 drive IC is quite robust. I have a Bridgeport series II running on drives based on the 18200.

We had good discussion with Kirk offline, now I want to ask some questions in the list and present overall design for public discussion. Hopefully it could be useful for other too. I'll put questions in front, so they are easy to spot and below will be assumptions and components listed. --- Questions: - is there an inexpensive servo driver, which does not have closed loop inside (like Gecko do) ? - would K-CMD driver with max 24VDC capacity will be enough to drive 30VDC servo motors ? - would 36VDC power supply work fine with chosen servo motors and K-CMD motor drivers or 30VDC should be used instead ? - what other BB could be used in place of C1 and C11 ? - would built-in speed control of C11 work with Sherline DC spindle motor ? - would anybody be willing to check if chosen so far components would actually work together ? --- Assumptions: (please correct me if I'm wrong) - signals from encoders will go via BOB through parallel ports back to EMC2. EMC2 is used as motion controller with closed loop - 3 axis kit is compiled to be built with minimum or no DIY production required. However 4th axis is included in design and will be added later - manual controls are required on servo belt reducers or shafts, so machine could still be used for some manual projects - spindle speed control planned, but might be not implemented at the beginning - no extra relays used for now, but possibility of wiring them should be in place - home switches planned for all three axises. Limit switched would require more BB and parallel ports to be used --- Components: - servo motors with encoders and belt reducers from IMService - 3 x $140 = $420 http://www.cadcamcadcam.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=61 http://www.cadcamcadcam.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=62 - C1 or C11 BOB from CNC4PC.com - 2 x $70.12/$124 http://www.cnc4pc.com/Store/osc/product_info.php?cPath=33&products_id=47 There are other alternatives including C10 without opto-isolation or boards from other vendors. - double PCI parallel port card - $16 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815166007 Or similar card - KL-320-36 36V/8.8A Power Supply from Keling Inc - $59.95 http://www.kelinginc.net/SwitchingPowerSupply.html Is this unit powerful enough for chosen servos ? Depending on the servo drivers additional Power Supply could be needed. Again there are alternatives. Ex. - http://cgi.ebay.com/30V-10A-300W-Power-Supply-Stepper-motor-controller_W0QQi temZ270089686014 - 5V Power supply for BOB - $?? - motor and encoder cables - 3 x $?? + 3 x $?? (? $8 x 6 = $48 ?) Probably cables from IMService would be a good choice. - Servo motor drivers - 3 x $19 http://www.solarbotics.com/products/k_cmd/ Don't see any other simple/cheap servo driver, which can be used out of the box. However K-CMD might not be ideal for chosen servo motors. --- Pins assignment for parallel ports 2 parports one configured as output and another as input should give 16 output and 19 input pins Port 0 Pin SignalParallel Port Direction 1 X Amp PWM Out 2 X Amp Dir Out 3 X Amp Enable Out 4 Y Amp PWM Out 5 Y Amp Dir Out 6 Y Amp Enable Out 7 Z Amp PWM Out 8 Z Amp Dir Out 9 Z Amp Enable Out 10X HomeIn 11Y HomeIn 12Z HomeIn 13 In 15 In 14A Amp PWM Out 16A Amp Dir Out 17A Amp Enable Out Port 1 Pin SignalParallel Port Direction 1 X Encoder A In 2 X Encoder B In 3 X Encoder Z In 4 Y Encoder A In 5 Y Encoder B In 6 Y Encoder Z In 7 Z Encoder A In 8 Z Encoder B In 9 Z Encoder Z In 10A Encoder A In 11A Encoder B In 12A Encoder Z In 13 In 15E-StopIn 14Spindle PWM Out 16Spindle Fwd Out 17Spindle Rev Out - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is
Re: [Emc-users] E-stop Surprise
Kirk, A physical E-stop is just about the first thing that I setup on a macahine, even before simple testing. The screen focus is not just a problem, it is dangerous, especially working on 'big iron'. A run away motor can blow a table right off it's ways. You can add an E-stop button to axis with pyvcp. Not too sure how big, but with some programming it can probably be enarged. Still no replacement for the phyisical, locking button to kill power to the amps. Keep contact in the button to loop with the hal signal. Good luck.

A bracket I needed to make required a tool change, so I decided to just do it manually. I checked the program by lowering the knee and single stepping through the program, which at the time seemed okay. I raised the knee, started the program and drilled the holes. The table homed for the tool change displayed the tool change message and proceeded to go ahead with the program without stopping. Unfortunately, the new tool that didn't get changed is shorter so the tool collided with the table. I tried to click the e-stop button in AXIS but it had no effect. Then I realized that the tool change message had the window focus and I needed to clear it before the e-stop would work. I realize I made a few mistakes here, by not having a proper config file and a hardware e-stop button, but I wonder if there should be a way to have the AXIS e-stop always on top and available. -- Kirk Wallace (California, USA http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ Hardinge HNC/EMC CNC lathe, Bridgeport mill conversion, doing XY now, Zubal lathe conversion pending Craftsman AA 109 restoration Shizuoka ST-N/EMC CNC) - Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.

Re: [Emc-users] servo with brake issue
Be careful with the brake. Definitely keep your servo signal lines away from the motor power and brake lines. Also, be sure to 'release' the brake before motion and 'set' the brake after complete stopping. Brakes on Vertical axes are good things.

I've got a butt load of old SCSI cables, cards and misc junk, so hopefully that will help with building stuff. I can't see spending $70+ for 50 pin screw connectors.

Re: [Emc-users] axis logo module that emc loads on default
Bob, Check the Integrators Manual in the .ini section, [DISPLAY] section, page 24 of 193. INPUT_FILE = Noel Rodes 'Roguish' -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Freeman Sent: Monday, February 11, 2008 10:53 AM To: emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Emc-users] axis logo module that emc loads on default Hello, All, Rather than continue the font thread for my question, I'll just ask another question. On starting EMC2 with AXIS, the axis logo gcode is loaded, apparently by default. I looked in the ini and related setup files but have not found a way to have AXIS load the default file that "I" want; is there a way to change the default file loaded by AXIS at startup? BTW, its not that I dislike the axis logo, it just generates an error when used in the TWO axis system I'm working with for my antenna measurements. The file apparently wants some Z-axis setup. Of course, I could change the default file, or link to something else, or Thanks, and thanks for EMC2--it just works!

Re: [Emc-users] Connect Omron servos
Dino, The Omrons are similar (if not the same) as Yaskawas. I run the 5I20, 7I33 and 7I37s. Works good. Tuning is tricky as the drive/motor combo has a PID loop itself, and EMC adds and external position loop. Good luck. Noel.
