I am so close to getting the tool changer to function, but I am getting a "ERROR EXECUTING M18" . Has anyone run across this. Please note I added an underscore I "_I" to the end of CaroselAtHome (input28) to recognize it as an input easily. And also changed input to 44 for my sy...

I finally feel like I had a win today! After five VFDs, I finally have one that does everything properly. Well close enough anyway. It was a surprisingly large amount of work to get the Delta C2000 installed, wired and configured. There are no setup examples for tuning it nicely on an AC servo motor...

Drive is all sorted and tuned now. See the following video. 6000 RPM max, 0.35s acceleration/deceleration times. Very stiff orient positioning. https://youtu.be/rRdFFe3v2s4 I will try remember to put up a parameter file from the VFD in case anyone else tries to get a servo motor running nicely on one.

Just to follow up on this, STO cant be used as requires a power cycle to reset any STO fault. So, may as well just run the drive off a relay... There is an emergency stop digital input option that can be used. It may not be quite as safe as a proper hard power cut or STO but will do the job to let y...

Haha, watch that calculator. I personally think as long as you are not starving the cnc12 thread of cpu time or memory it will always run on time. The worst thing is the risk of another program causing a blue screen of death midway through machining. Another thing to note is that cnc12 is not that f...

The C2000 has a configurable orient complete output. Can set the tolerance and time. It also has zero speed but I dont know when zero speed would ever add any value.

I write my own PLC code. I write software for a job so it's not too much of a challenge for me.

Yeah, I already have a ZS wire from the old VFD. I will hook it up. My tool change is entirely custom as is not a standard tool change system so I will wait for oriented signal not ZS signal.

I was going to put up the parameter file after I had finished setting it all up. I haven't got it controlled by the Oak yet, just been driving it from the front panel. Assume you have got the spindle orient set up correctly? Usually that involves manually orienting the spindle and then reading the ...

How is progress going on your conversion?
