Mach3 configuration
One of advantages of the CSMIO-MPG module is that you almost do not need to configure it.
•
After CSMIO/IP-S controller connection you should turn
the power on and launch Mach3 program.
•
In the “PlugIn Control” menu choose “CSMIO-IP-
P_plugin”
•
In the diagnostic window go to the “Expansion
modules” tab.
If connections are correct, the CSMIO-MPG module should
appear on the list of modules detected by our controller.
Next – in the Mach3 program- turn on
the MPG function. To do this – click on
the “Config/Ports and Pins” and go to
the “Encoder/MPG’s” tab and select
MPG#1.
From now on the module is ready to
work.

Multiplier range selection.
The basic assumed distance unit is 1/10000 of a Mach3 unit, namely 1/1000mm (1um) or 1/10000
inch depending on used unit imperial or metric.
The CSMIO-MPG module has three inputs of
multiplier selection. It is possible to choose if
these inputs switch the resolution between:
•
0.0001 / 0.001 / 0.01 of the unit
•
0.001 / 0.01 / 0.1 of the unit
or
•
0.01 / 0.1 / 1.0 of the unit
You can select it in the plugin’s configuration - “Config/Config Plugins” menu, click “CONFIG” area,
next to the CSMIO-IP-P-CS-Lab-s.c.” and go to "Other" tab. In the “MPG Resolutions” group select the
desired multipliers.
