Awesome, thanks for confirming

Hi, I am doing a conversion on an engine lathe, and would like to incorporate multiple MPGs, similar to how this is done: https://www.dropbox.com/s/chr2wbvs91hk6yo/servoturn.png?raw=1 I assume I will need Acorn SIX to handle the multiple encoder inputs (Spindle Encoder, MPG1, MPG2), but just wanted ...

I had similar issues, with the same setup (clearpath, c86 board). I ended up rewiring according to Gary's suggestion: - don't use Acorn enable on the c86 (leave the jumper wire to always enabled) - set the axis jumpers on the c86 to hard enable. Essentially your motors are always enabled as long as ...

I'm running Clearpath SDSK servos, and this is a dual Y axis machine. Wondering if something is ever so slightly out of sync on my two Y axis. This machine has prox sensors at home, and I am auto-squaring and pairing each time I start up the machine. I have the same exact setup. Eventually called T...

Quick sanity check as I'm going through the scenarios: - You power the Clearpath PSU (and power4hub) from the ESTOP operated contactor (and the C86a from acorn) - so the motors enable upon power up of the C86a without any additional signal or input from acorn. Since they are HARD enabled, hitting &q...

Thank you for taking the time to respond in such detail, I really appreciate it. I have a relay in the ESTOP circuit that gives power to the IPC5 when the ESTOP is not pressed/latched, but I have for now used the Power4hub on a permanent supply along which means the drives retain logic power. Teknic...

4 Set the Acorn Enable Jumper (next to the red power LED) to OFF 5 Make sure the Hard/Soft jumpers are all set to HARD Interesting. This is opposite to what I have seen in other videos, such as the one listed on the cnc4pc page. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt-s6y_7iD0) Not questioning your gui...

Ah crap, I forgot to reimport the license after I had to reinstall CNC12. Of course..
Thanks

The slaved Axis keep getting unpaired. I have slaved Axis 4 to Axis 2 in the Wizard. 01 - Axis pairing set.png I can confirm in the VCP, and I also verify that both motors are moving as expected. 02 - Confirm Axes paired.png Then, if I click "Set WCS XY0", the axis are unpaired. 05 - Setti...

Hi, I have a router with a dual motor Y axis, currently wired to the C86ACCP board for Clearpath. I have tried using the hard slave feature of the C86ACCP, but that always gives a 9031 Drive Fault error. I have placed jumpers according to the manual, but no luck. Does anyone have any experience with...
