[Emc-users] VFS11 modbus

2014-08-20 Thread Andrew
Hello!

I'm trying to connect my Toshiba VFD to LinuxCNC
http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/drivers/VFS11.html
 I made the interface according to Michael's diagram.
But there's no response from the VFD on pin 3, I checked it with my
O-scope. Though there's a signal on pin 5 when I try to connect with
Toshiba program.
Should I set some parameters on the VFD to see it answering?

Thanks!

 A series of randomly sized wooden pieces (uniform thickness) placed randomly 
 on a slow conveyor. Each piece has 1 to 4 small pockets milled in them. I 
 would like to automate a method of blowing out the dust left from milling 
 the pockets. How hard would it be to detect the location of these pockets, 
 position an air nozzle over the pocket and clean them with a short air blast 
 as they are carried down the conveyor.

Another approach:

1.   Invert them either by the people placing upside down on a mesh 
conveyor belt.  Or turn them over by another other method (Not hard with 
conveors).
2.  Use strong acoustic signal to shake out dust  chips. Think large 
base speaker. (possibly with some acoustic isolation).
  You might want to place a screen over them to prevent them moving to far .

A little experimentation may be needed to determine what frequency or 
combination of frequencies work the best and require the least energy.

Can you talk to the drive with the Toshiba program? If not, looks like an 
interface issue

Assuming it works - by default the VFS11 interface is in Toshiba inverter 
protocol  mode 

You need to set it to Modbus mode with the Toshiba utility or through the 
panel, only then you can talk modbus to it.

While at it, set serial rate to 19200, it's the maximum the VFS11 supports.

 I can not, that's the problem. I don't see any signal on the VFD's output
pin 3, so it doesn't seem like my interface problem... more like VFD's
problem?

The question is should there always be some signal on pin 3 or it appears
only after we start sending something to pin 5?
Though I don't see anything either.

I am trying to use Modbus to talk to a card vi TCP which I built myself. I work 
as a software developer but are not familiar with the protocol, do anyone which 
registers or what it is called are used for what?

search for 'TOSVERT VF-S11 Communications Function Instruction Manual' which 
lists every bit you never were interested in;)

[Emc-users] Possible Trajectory Problem

2014-08-20 Thread Matt Shaver
I've experienced some behavior that might be a bug. The relevant
information can be found at:

http://www.mattshaver.com/gas/

Running the CAP.TAP program results in the motion depicted in
Screenshot.png. Adding a G61 or G64 P0.005 to the program produces a
trajectory that closely follows the expected path. Significantly
slowing the feedrate also produces normal results.

Is this a bug, or is it simply default G64 behavior on a machine
configured as this one is?

Any comments would be welcome!

Thanks,
Matt
