Hello again,

We are trying to get the 4th Axis working and it is configured as the X,Y and Z Axis's that are
working fine, but we get no signal from the Board to the DMM DYN4 Drive.

Attached is the latest Report, and yes the 5th and 6 axis's are faulting as we do not have the
cables to attach to ...

Encoder feedback

Hello everyone,

We're trying to get our 6 axis system fully running, at the moment we have the 3 main ones running and we'll have the other 3 by EOD.
One main "issue" we encountered is the encoder feedback from the DYN4 drives to the Acorn6 board, specifically ENCODER1, ENCODER2, ENCODER3.
Are ...

Re: Acorn 6 after Select Drive Type DYN4, Estop and Magnetic Contactor don't work?

Question for Shawn,

When trying to Run the DMM Dyn4 Test like in the below, should the Dyn4 still be hooked up

https://www.dmm-tech.com/Files/DSFEN_A1403_1217_p.pdf

On page 3 of the above Referenced Manual it states that the DB9 Encoder Connector should Not
be Connected to the ...

Re: Acorn 6 after Select Drive Type DYN4, Estop and Magnetic Contactor don't work?

Thanks Shawn,

I changed IN14 from NC to NO on the "Axis1DriveOk" and now
the Dyn4 no longer Faults.

This is an Acorn6 and the Wiring Diagram S15164.r1 shows connecting
the Axis1 to the Input14 as seen in the attachment below. I am only following
what Centroid has provided. If it really should be ...

Re: Acorn 6 after Select Drive Type DYN4, Estop and Magnetic Contactor don't work?

Ok, so we Removed DriveOk from input 5.

1) Then we Tested Axis 1 "X" which is also DMM1 of the Dyn4 Driver and upon powering up
everything the Green LED on DMM1 comes on upon Reset on the VCP.

2) When we try to Move X+ or X- we get an Message 9025 Axis 1 Drive Fault Detected.

Pressing Reset on ...

Re: Acorn 6 after Select Drive Type DYN4, Estop and Magnetic Contactor don't work?

Thanks Shawn and Keith...

Sorry, I stated the Wrong Type of Estop...

It is a Dual Normally Closed Type as I purchase it from Centroid.

I changed the Setting in the Wizard and it is all back to working now including the Magnetic Contactor..

So now on to configure the DMM Dyn4 to the Acorn6.

I ...

Re: Acorn 6 after Select Drive Type DYN4, Estop and Magnetic Contactor don't work?

Hola Shawn,

Ok.

1) I set Output 1 in the Wizard to "nofaultout"

and Restarted CNC12.

The Reset button in the VCP now does Nothing,

But, if it Push the Manual E-Stop the Contact Engages and the E-Stop is Removed. Exactly
the Opposite of what we want.

And Input 8 which is E-Stop is set to NO as ...
