WMPG-4 pendant only works at 1x, but not 10x nor 100x

Post by sakumar »

After upgrading to CNC12 v5.06 my pendant only works at 1x (for all 3 axes).

For the other speeds it doesn't move at all.

Is there some new configuration that I missed? What should I look out for?

Usually this is due to the control thinking the pribe is tripped. If you will post a report from your machine, that will provide more information for us to help you with.

Same problem for me (and other issues) since upgrading to 5.06.

The report is attached above. Thanks.

I do have a KP-3 probe configured, but it was not connected when I tried to use the pendent. I connected it, and toggled it. The triggered / un-triggered messages appeared on the screen, but it didn't fix the issue of the jog speeds > 1.

When you use probe detect, this is the case. You should be able to click the x10 x100 afterwards of plugging in the probe.

Thanks! Some progress to report. If the probe is left plugged in, then the jogging works normally. But it stops working at 10x and 100x if the probe is then disconnected.

I don't want to have the probe plugged in the entire time. How to fix that?

OK -- I can see how this is a safety feature -- probe unplugged means 'tripped' so it doesn't allow fast jogging to prevent the probe tip from getting broken. Can I disable this feature?

Reverse the logic on the probe detect input

It sounds like the logic is reversed on probe detect input for the others. Have you checked that on your system? Please post a report so we can see what is going on.
