Mach3 Version 3.043.062 with Win 10 Fix. Check here: cnc4pc.com/blog/post/manual-mach3-configuration-using-thc-1-with-the-ethernet-smooth-stepper-with-macro

You cannot connect the C22 directly to the AXBB as it requires a DB25 or UDC26 connector that uses pins 2-9 as inputs and the connector on the AXBB uses pins 2-9 as outputs as outputs. Maybe you can use a C22M1 instead, which communicates through USB: cnc4pc.com/serial-modbus-pendant-interface-card.html

Mach3 has a step or continuous mode. If in step mode, mach3 will ensure that every pulse that you sent is sent to the motor. It also has a setting to do the automatic switchover between the two modes depending on the speed at which you are rotation the MPG. I know this way of doing is not conventional but works if calibrated properly.

It is the jumpers to allow the C25XP to power the ESS. Pin 26 on IDC26 connectors of the ESS can make the +5vdc common from the board with the ESS:. It is explained here: warp9td.com/index.php/documentation/doc-ess#Connectors

The pendant plugs into a C22 board which is connected to any motion controller with a DB25 or IDC26 style connectors and uses pins 2-9 as inputs: www.cnc4pc.com/pub/media/productattachments/files/mpg2_c22.jpg

The Ethernet Smooth Stepper

You need to tune it. We recommend setting it as fast as possible, but not allowing it to just oscillate up and down, like a sewing machine.

@@cnc4pc21 Yes, i just dont know how to edit the screen default for that, i tried changing the value while editing the screen and saved it but relaunching mach 4 it opens back up at 50%

Yes, the Z-axis should move. Here are some things to take into account: - Make sure Mach4 is fully licensed, it may not work on DEMO mode. - Make sure the ARC OK signal is present. - Make sure the THC mode is active.

I know it can be tricky, as it is an interlocking system, and one thing depends on the other. That is why we recommend doing and validating this setup Step by Step: cnc4pc.com/blog/post/Wiring_and_testing_a_C86ACCP If something is not working right, please get back to us and we will give you a hand with this: cnc4pc.com/contact/

If you look in the description, there is a link to a forum posting where you can find a full description and also links to the C# code used. The code is not complicated and not hard to replicate in lua. If I was going to do it again in Mach4 I would look at the code to have an understanding of the logic, but I would do the script using the Mach4 PMC.

@@cnc4pc21 many thanks again. So I'm making alot of progress, however I need to set my stepper motors relative to the board. Could you please tell me what settings you used . I entered 65 on the z axis but it's no where near right !

It is not real time as it has serial communication to the PC, but it is really fast. This one works in real time to the motion controller: www.cnc4pc.com/c22-pendant-interface-card.html

The analog output on this board is isolated, so you can really connect to anything, including the original non-isolated speed controller. Lately we are using this one a lot: www.cnc4pc.com/mini-type-integrated-universal-inverter-vfd-2-2kw.html The price is VERY reasonable, it is easy to use and works great.

I am sorry... The jumpers can only be on or off, you put them on.

That cable is used for the Touch Sensor. It touches the plate to determine the height at which the plate is. It is connected to the PTS-1: www.cnc4pc.com/plasma-touch-sensor.html

No, Mach3 cannot do rigid tapping. This is Mach4, and it cannot rigid tap with the Ethernet Smooth Stepper, but we are doing the rigid tapping action with gcode commands.

Yes, it will work with a Sherline, but you will be better off using a C41S: www.cnc4pc.com/c41s-pwm-variable-speed-control-board.html It is simpler as it does not require the extra isolated +12vdc power supply, as it has its own DC-DC converter. The analog output is also more linear.

@@cnc4pc21 Thank you very much. Have any wiring diagram for Sherline?

@@gabrielmota9432 Check under Product Download for the KB120: www.cnc4pc.com/c6-variable-speed-control-board.html

I just updated it.

The Plasmaseseout puts our open collector discrete signals. Make sure you measure this against the voltage that is powering the unit.

So you lose the unit as soon as the arc starts? I would think you could have a grounding or shielding issue. These units are very sensitive to noise. You can open a Ticket with PoLabs by emailing: support@poscope.com. They should be able to help you.

@@cnc4pc21 if i do the test plasma goes on and when it stop you will see a little spike about 2volt and then its gone i contact pokey this is what they want me to do move the plasma sense far a way prom the pokey use shielded cable for plasma voltage and shorten the 10 pin cable with the red connectors from pokey and plasma sense adapter . is it possible that there is a setting wrong in mach 3? thanks for the really fast response

hello i got a reading now ground the table more and moved the plasma sense closer to the cutter but now i dont get a ack ok signal do you know what that can be thanks Robert

@@marjanvannoordenburg9585 Can you measure the signal at the terminals?

The Torch ON/OFF is controlled by a relay from the breakout board.

I have been chasing ground issues with my machines for years. After switching to ethernet connections the issues went away. Kinda strange.

That would be a question for the supplier of your controller.

This is a much cleaner install. takes your wiring to a couple cables that plug in. Plus better feedback for troubleshooting.

Because I said so, that's why... you said like you are a 5th grader! LOL

@@tstanley01 You'd make a great teacher.

@@paulbaird1351 LOL...I teach people how to fly airplanes...

It’s absolutely not specific to switching supplies. I always ground the output. Unless I want to chase crazy faults all day.

Yes, you can any servo or stepper as long as it takes step and direction signals. If you have questions about your specific application, you can open a ticket on our website and we will give you a hand with this: cnc4pc.com/contact/

If you are trying to control a servo with +/-10vdc, then maybe the C89 is what you are looking for: www.cnc4pc.com/c89-10vdc-analog-speed-control-board.html
