Re: CNC11 to CNC12 issues
Posted: Sun Nov 15, 2020 7:21 pm
So this is where I am at.
I ended up starting from scratch. Reloaded a fresh copy of CNC12 v4.14. I followed TB311 instructions and only copied cncm.prm.xml and cncmcfg.xml files.
I got a warning that the tool library, offset library and WCS files were set to default so I successfully copied those files from CNC11 to the CNC12 directory.
I then ran the system test. It failed. I had to slightly move the bottom Z limit switch target. That target was not correctly mounted by Atrump and it got destroyed after a few days of use. I had replaced it and set it as close as I could to the original one. So no surprise that it needed tweaking.
At this point I get a UNDEFINED PLC MESSAGE (99) - see attached image. I don't know what that means. Otherwise it looks good.
At this point do I leave it as is or copy the original CNC11 CNCM directory files into the CNC12 directory? Will there be any benefit?
I am still concerned that I don't understand where all the setup files are. Where are backlashah and any other comp information stored? Am I losing anything with what I have done?
I greatly appreciate everyone's help.
