Acorn controller card question

[martyscncgarage]

it is fixed now, what i did, on the wizard in homing and traveli changed the automatic homing sequence, and it works i have no idea why that haappen, also the readoouts shows zeros on Z axis when it should show 8.55 on this machine

Home the machine.
Press ALT D
That shows MACHINE position. The DRO's should be all zeros after homing
Press ALT D again, this is your last part position (G54)

what i see now is that the WCS #5 (G58) is showing me on the top of the screen, is not on G54 that's why zeros on all axis, i need too change that to G54

that's it, is working now, i had thhe wrong WCS.

Hi Marty

I have a cnc router machine equipped with indramat Rexroth drives, HMDO 1.1N-W0012, they comunicate by optic fiber sercos system to computer, do you think this type of drives can be retrofitted with Acorn and cnc12?

thanks

Unlikely But you need to post pictures of the current control cabinet, drives and have you Google searched your drive model numbers to see if you can find a manual? If so, post here.

thanks Marty

yes i found the drives manual, it mention on chapter 7-5 three mode of operations, sercos interface, field bus interface and parallel/analog interface so looks like there is only +10v analog input, and does not support step and direction, if i am not wrong.

The link you provided does not work for me.
If it drive does not support step and direction it will not work with Acorn
