Re: [Emc-users] OT: LED driver

[Jeremy Jones]

I've used ledsupply in the past as well.

Here's one that should fit.
http://www.ledsupply.com/led-drivers/phihong-pda025w

They were probably seeing 400ma each before. If you got the 750ma they
would see 375ma. A little less bright I suppose. You could always go down
to the 450ma but then they would see 225ma and that would be about half the
output.

Re: [Emc-users] Hardinge Conquest 42 Conversion

[Jeremy Jones]

I'm getting doubles of every board along with it except the main board of
course. He had a parts machine he stripped before this one. Comes with
extra motors, pumps, etc. Not a bad deal. It's a fanuc ot-ot-b control.
Built in 1992.

I believe the spindle is at least 7.5hp and might be a 10hp. I see
conflicting info online and forgot to confirm when I went to see it. So I
can either fix the main board, need to confirm for sure, and run it with
the old control or upgrade.

Re: [Emc-users] Hardinge Conquest 42 Conversion

[Jeremy Jones]

Thanks everyone. Sarah, thanks for that great link. Not sure how I haven't
come across that yet. I'm gonna look into everything. Thinking I might just
got this route off the bat. Looking it might be a minimum of $1500 to fix
the controls. I think the LCNC electronics will be cheaper..I hope. Want to
get it up and running rather quickly as this will be put into service right
away.

Anyone know the possibilty of switching one of these over to single phase
during the conversion? I'm guessing the spindle drive is 3 phase. Would
need to see it to know for sure. Don't have it in hand yet.

[Emc-users] Hardinge Conquest 42 Conversion

[Jeremy Jones]

Thinking about picking up a Conquest 42. The machine is supposedly in good
shape but the Fanuc OT control might be shot and the motherboard would need
to replaced. Will try to resurrect but I'm thinking linuxcnc anyway since I
did a Bridgport recently.

I've seen a lot of CHNC conversions but couldn't find any Conquests.
Wondering if anyone has done one and if its similar to the CHNC's. I know
the CHNC II has the same spindle but I unsure of the remaining electronics.
Just trying to get an idea of everything I would need to replace to make it
work. It also has a 10 tool turret tool changer and I'm wondering how hard
that would be to get to work with LCNC. Any help is appreciated.

Re: [Emc-users] TSC Kawasaki cutoff saw story

[Jeremy Jones]

Haha I was just running that same model today. It doesn't sound great
either. It's very weak and my boss wishes he had bought something better. I
will have to inspect ours a little further.

On Mon, Apr 20, 2015 at 10:42 PM, Gene Heskett ghesk...@wdtv.com wrote:

 Greetings all;

 I don't recall if I mentioned buying a Kawasaki 14 cutoff saw from TSC
 or not.

 But I did, something over a year ago when I was cutting bits off the end
 of a 1x2 bar of TSC steel to make the nut holders for the balls screws
 I put in my toy mill.

 It ran a little slow for a 14 blade, only 2800 revs, so it was difficult
 to actually get the cutting fire started, and it ran perhaps 10 minutes
 total, cutting 2/3rds of the way thru the bar, but then got noisy and
 slowed considerably.  I could turn it fwd by hand. but backwards, which
 would be the working face of the stepdown gear in it was a draggy, felt
 like the bull gear was plastic and had overheated, deforming the gear
 teeth.

 Took it back to TSC, but they claimed I had to contact the vendor, which
 was AllTrade.  Had them look up a phone number and I came home  called
 them.  On giving them the model  serial data, they came back and said
 that particular model had never ever been in their inventory, and
 suggested that perhaps TSC had bought them off a rickshaw in Kowloon.

 IOW, a warranty claim against Alltrade wasn't possible.  So I was a bit
 peeved as I was out a buck and a half on it.  I stewed a day or so,
 still needed a saw, and when I went back in they had lowered the asking
 on the dewalt version to the same price, so I brought one of them home
 and finished that project.  And although the dewalt was higher rpms, it
 was still about 1500 slow for a good 14 wheel.  The fire could be
 started but had to be pushed to keep it going.

 So today, I drag the green monster back out of the shed, intending to
 salvage the base and vice for something, and the motor for something
 else.  Knocking the reduction gear loose and working it out of the
 houseing I was amazed at the gear condition, like new, looked like good
 steel, all running in Torrington needle cartridges.  Humm, go to other
 end of motor  remove the end grill.  Nice needle bearing cartridge
 there, supporting the rear end of the motor shaft.  Stuck a 17mm wrench
 of the gear hub flat and turned it, turned fairly free.  Turned it the
 other way, back end of armature turned in the brushes, but not in the
 bearing! A 10mm motor shaft was broken in two between the commutator and
 the rear bearing, so the armature was bouncing about 1/32, totally
 unrestrained by the bearing. I have never in my 80 years seen a shaft
 broken off like that.  So I saved the line cord and switch, and
 deposited the rest in my trash trailer.

 That was a $150 lesson that says if you buy something green from the tool
 shelf, it had better say Hitachi on it. Same for a yellow Cub Cadet
 (an I.H. brand) lawn mower that claims a Kawasaki engine. The only thing
 Kawasaki is the label on that turd.  That was a $400 lesson as it was a
 supposedly top of the line self-propelled mower.

Re: [Emc-users] Mesa cards visual documentation

[Jeremy Jones]

I took the picture in the manual of my 7i76 and laminated it. Then as I
hooked stuff up I sharpied on there each pin and stuck it in with the
machine. This way I know what's what moving forward.

 You mean more detailed than 7i77man.pdf ?

 With many of the Mesa cards the HAL pin names that correspond to
 physical pins are governed by the firmware. This is less the case with
 the 7i77, though you can alter a few things with the software modes.

Re: [Emc-users] 7i76 spindle output

[Jeremy Jones]

loadrt scale count=1
addf scale.0 servo-thread
setp scale.0.gain 0.002
net spindle-speed-scale motion.spindle-speed-out = scale.0.in
net spindle-speed-DAC scale.0.out = your DAC pin name


That's whats in the integrator manual. I started out with the abs I copied
from a similar machine but then tried this and it worked.. I will finish
the abs and report back. Should I look into adding my info, once complete,
to wiki for others to use? My combination of setup and VFD are pretty
common.



Alex - I think it might. I currently have it hooked up CW on one pin and
CCW on another. Let me see if I can switch that to a single pin. I am using
the 0-10v pot on the VFD but it uses separate pins for the
direction...which confuses me why it works one way perfectly and the other
way is way off. Like you said I guess it's the negative.

Once I get this figured out I want to tackle the MODBUS setup for mine too.
Just figured this would be easier for now.

 Hi Jeremy.
 Does your VFD have a CW-CCW physical input to reverse the motor rotation ?
 If yes you should wire it and activate it related to the sign of
 motion.spindle-speed-out .
 Or if your VFD has a differential (+/-10Vdc) input you should use the
 motion.spindle-speed-out (scaled as needed) to activate the analog speed
 reference .

Re: [Emc-users] 7i76 spindle output

[Jeremy Jones]

Hitahci WJ200-22

I looked into modbus earlier in the week and am going to go that route
eventually. Just wanted to get it online now so I can run some other tests
and what not. If I remember correctly my VFD does have an ethernet port. I
was thinking serial but if the ethernet works just as well that would be
awesome. Maybe I will look into that a little further today. It wasn't hard
to get it running this way that's why I chose this route for the time
being.

The manual for the VFD is a little confusing. I feel like it explains one
thing on one pages and something totally different on the next one. Was
originally trying to do the 3 wire but found out this way to be alittle
easier. Obviously needs some tweaking. Would liek to finish it up though
and add to the wiki for others to see and then do the MODBUS.

 I've tested the Modbus protocol using the TCP/IP (ethernet) and seems to
 work just fine so the serial communication should be fine too.
 Can you detail the Brand and the product code of your VFD ?

 In the [AXIS_x] sections of your .ini file, you probably now
 have :
 HOME_IGNORE_LIMITS = NO

 or, possibly no setting of this parameter.  Set it to YES,
 and it
 will ignore the limit switch during a home operation.  If you
 home via a limit switch, then you MUST have a
 HOME_OFFSET = xx that gets it off the home switch during the
 home operation.

Is it maybe the step scales are in the negative on x and y? Just noticed
that but I'm pretty sure it worked fine like that. That's the only
difference I see.

 In the [AXIS_x] sections of your .ini file, you probably now
 have :
 HOME_IGNORE_LIMITS = NO

 or, possibly no setting of this parameter.  Set it to YES,
 and it
 will ignore the limit switch during a home operation.  If you
 home via a limit switch, then you MUST have a
 HOME_OFFSET = xx that gets it off the home switch during the
 home operation.

[Emc-users] Quick question on Mesa 7i76 Outputs

[Jeremy Jones]

I setup some outputs from the 7i76 to some mechanical relays. It won't set
them off. Does anyone know if this is common? I see there are versions of
my relay that have a smaller switching amperage but they also have a
smaller overall rating. Might have to go to SSRs or is there some way to
turn up the power? I'm powering the 7i76 with a 24v external supply.

 The 7I76 field outputs are rated for 300 mA loads (larger then 60 mA need
 flyback diodes) At 24V this will driver very large relays

 So I can be ignored.  Does it also have the protective diode?  That would
 be a very tasty recipe.

 I have some higher voltage supplies coming (I hope, I made a bid anyway)
 which I might use on a 1 per motor for my mill.  If they work, I will
 definitely need another 5i25 with that same firmware in it.  My mill is
 feeling the need for speed, 25 ipm rapids just aren't cutting it anymore.

 The direction and enable outputs are not voltage sources but rather
 switches
 so you will not see any change unless you use a Ohmmeter across the pins.

 if your VFD needs inputs pulled to ground, you wire like this:

 ENA+ -- VFD INPUT
 ENA- -- VFD GROUND/COMMON

 If you VFD needs to have inputs pulled up, you wire like this

 ENA+ VFD +COMMON
 ENA- VFD INPUT

 That's normally due to using spindle-speed not spindle-speed-abs.

[Emc-users] Stops on home - shared limits

[Jeremy Jones]

I had this working fine. Changed some stuff around today but nothing
related to my limits. Now every time I home it searches, backs off and
finds the limit but then it shuts down because I'm on a limit switch.
Thoughts?

Also have to switch back to acmxis from gmoccapy to invoke the limit
override if it happens to be on it at startup. As long as I move it off
before closing I'm OK but gmoccapy won't let me overuse if I'm on a limit
from the get go.

 The src/ directory contains source code that is only of interest to
 developers.  The files are not .hal files or .ini files, and are of no
 use to you.

 There really is no shortcut.  You have to read the manual.

 They get built into the wj200_vfd driver (that you load with loadusr, as
 the Integrator manual shows) and the manpage (that you can read with
 man wj200_vfd).

Re: [Emc-users] WJ200 driver on 2.6

[Jeremy Jones]

Kirk, thanks for the help.

I assumed that Modbus was a more capable way of communicating with the VFD.
Maybe that assumption is wrong and now technology has moved past it. If
it's not going to be be any more accurate or provide any more feedback from
the VFD to lcnc then maybe it's pointless. I was going to leave it till
later but then I noticed that the newer version had support for it. I just
thought there were extra benefits there that weren't available with just
the I/O of the Mesa board (which would be a heck of a lot easier).

 After reading the same question on the forum, where you say you have a
 7i76 board with built-in VFD control terminals I am a bit puzzled why
 you want to use Modbus.

Re: [Emc-users] WJ200 driver on 2.6

[Jeremy Jones]

I was looking at that before. Must be thousands. Basically anything you
want. Now I just have to figure out what I want haha but it sure is
flexible.

  Ok. The code looked similar but I figured it had nothing to do with what
 I
  need to do. I'll sit down later and figure it all out when I have time.

 Giving it a brief look, you just put:
 loadusr wj200_vfd

 in your .hal file.

 Or to play with a bare bones setup, from a terminal window, invoke
 halrun. Then at the prompt loadusr wj200_vfd.

 For me, I got a permission error, which means you need access rights to
 the serial port. I typed quit, then tried again with sudo halrun,
 then the loadusr bit. After that you can type show to see all the pins
 and such available from the wj200_vfd component. From here you can
 create a thread, add the component to the thread and start it. Use setp
 to set pins or parameters.

 Looking in the comp source, it looks like the serial port settings are
 hard coded to:
 ...
 /* modbus connection settings*/
 char *device = /dev/ttyS0;
 int baud = 9600;
 char parity = 'N';
 int data_bits = 8;
 int stop_bits = 1;
 modbus_t *ctx;
 ...

 So you will need to put an RS-485 adapter on your serial port 0 and run
 the two wires to your VFD's SP (Serial Positive) and SN (Serial
 Negative) terminals. Then make sure the VFD serial port parameters match
 the settings above.

 If the serial communications is working, you should be able to enable
 and other pins from your halrun session, or set up you .hal file to make
 the pin connections to LinuxCNC/AXIS pins.

 If needed, the serial port can be checked using minicom and a jumper on
 serial port pin 2 and 3. Set minicom for software handshake. Then
 anything you type should echo back to your terminal display.

 That's what comes to mind so far. You probably need to run down the
 permission issue to run the component as a normal user.

[Emc-users] Limit Switches - 7i76

[Jeremy Jones]

I have a BP Boss knee mill. The switches are NO. How should I go about
wiring this to the 7i76? Would it be better to get NC switches? Appreciate
any help.
