I need to make up new CN1 servo cables as the existing cables are not wired to the needed pins. The Hust system is operating the drives in speed mode and I need to change to position mode. If anyone has a line on fair prices CN1 - MDR50 connector/cable assemblies please let me know. Digikey seemed ...

No, but if you have control of your G codes (i.e. your postprocessor) you could make it do that yourself. See M120, M121, M223, M127 and similar codes. You could use M121 open a common log file and add to the end of it. You can use M223 and literal text from the postprocessor to insert the job name....

While it is running, and the tools are not at the depth you expect, you need to look at four things: 1) What are the Z coordinates called out in the G codes. In the program you posted, the facing is at Z0.0, and the next operation is down around Z-.760, so that is probably correct. 2) What Z coordin...

Maybe you were using a custom M6 macro, to which someone had added a G43 and H command.

You need to program a G43 and an H code after the M6.

M6 just changes tools; it does not do anything with offsets.

I must be missing something. I see a Y axis reversal in the red-circled section, but not in the blue-circled section. I fear that this inquiry is getting a little too far off in the weeds, when it sounds like you have found one or more straightforward problems with acceleration ramps when Smoothing ...

The XVCC light is off

Just to verify that is as far as i can go with troubleshooting, at this point I need to send the DC3IO board in to be checked or replaced?

See page 7 of the attached DC3IO manual.

On further thought, if your system is a basic mill that does not use the "auxiliary" inputs on pin headers H9 and H12, then most or all of the 0VDC connections come directly from the DC3IO board, via terminals on the Phoenix plugs H13 and H14. Take the cover plate off the front of the DC3I...

You should post a current Report. Then we could tell what you have in Parameter 178; how your limit inputs are configured in Machine Configuration; what jog panel type you have selected in Control Configuration; and many other useful things. On the Alt-i screen, an "okay" limit switch or E...

Your touch probe input may be the problem. In theory, as long as you provide a probe-detect signal on INP771 (as specified in your Parameter 18 value), it should not matter that your probe (normally-closed, software-inverted) appears to be in a tripped state while you are trying to home. In reality,...
