Hi,

That should certainly be possible. You will need a C program to apply/release the Z brake whenever the axis is disabled/enabled (or whenever you wish it to be switched).

I'd like to mention that due to safety reasons servo brakes (especially talking about Z axis) should and usually are activated by hardware means. Safety circuit should be designed in a way that EStop circuit, critical servo driver alarms, power fault - all these factors should shut off the servo motion and activate brakes.

I connect the kflop/kanalog to the machine, hitachi 3axis mill,
install the software 4.30... what is next step? Haw can I start, where I can find instructions for beginers?

Hi zjovanov46,

What is your background? What have you connected? What type of drives and encoders do you have?

Regards

Hi,

The drives is Sanyo Denki, analog AC servo, x, y, z axis, I connected encoders and analog inputs, now I need to connect

"enable" wires to kanalog (and configure them)- Where?

Then, I Think need to configure kmotion 4.30, but what is the first step of configuration...

Hi,

Do you have any specification or link for the servo drive's input requirements? In most cases the Kanalog opto outputs or Relay driver outputs can be used to interface to the servo drive enable.

There isn't any built in support for servo enables. For starters you can just enable/disable manually using the Digital IO Screen. Later you can include a few lines of code to do this automatically whenever the axis channel is enabled/disabled. See the watchenable.c example.

- I am confused about mach3 settings in a part of ports&pins - motor outputs, and encoder settings...
Help!

Hi,

KFLOP controls the hardware and performs the requested motion and reports back the current servo positions. With your type of system there are no Step/Dir pulses and so forth. Hardware configurations are made in KFLOP rather than Mach3. Get all your axes working and tuned using KMotion.exe before you even try to run Mach3.

The first steps are:

#1 get your Encoder to work (verify on the KMotion Axis Screen)

#2 get your amplifier to work (Issue DAC commands on the KMotion Console Screen)

#3 get your axis to servo (enable the Axis on the KMotion Step Response Screen)

Have you done any of these steps? Please be as specific as possible.

Regards
