I"m about to walk out to my machine, change the parameter as per eng199 and report back if the alarm starts working.
I am just getting up and running ,i have have not changed any parameters yet and i left the alarm unhooked until i could get some verification on what to do .
Could you explain how to do the parameter change , for the Alarm if it works correctly as it should .
I ordered parts for your way with the Mosfet and for the board Marty's way i will decide later once i get everything dialed in and working with the normal limits .
Thank you Reedfirst for the help
Sure,
To change parameter 991 from 1000 to 1 just follow the following steps.
From The main Screen in CNC12 press;
F3 to enter "SETUP
F3 again to enter "CONFIG"
F3 again to enter "PARMS" (I don't know why but I always say Chicken PARMS in my head when I press this button)
When you enter the "PARMS" screen you will notice that the parameters start at 000.
Press F8 for "NEXT TABLE" untill you find parameter number 991.
Next to 991 you will see it's value of 1000. Change this to a 1 then hit F10 "SAVE" and exit out.
That's it.
I have my dyn4 drives wires to the latest Acorn Schematic. Which has the Alarm pin #18 from the DYN4 drive out going to input 5 on the Acorn board.
I have a few other Parameters changed on my machine and I write down which ones I've changed and their values. That way when CNC12 gets updated it's easy for me to enter "PARMS" after the update and reconfigure things how I need them.
