Time of advance calculation of path of PLMach – similar buffer,
not from Mach3 side, but in PLCM card. The buffer stabilizes the
work under short lineouts PLCM<>Mach3 and under slowing down
calculation of Mach.
Note: From one side the more value of these features, the better (the
buffer is bigger, the work is more stable) but with increase of buffer
FeedHold will be delayed by the sum of these parameters, i.e. If
Mach3 buffer=1 sec and PLMach buffer=0,5 sec, CNC-system reaction
time when pressing FeedHold =1,5 sec + stepper motor braking time
according to the defined acceleration profile.
Logging – with active logging, log exchange file PLCM<>Mach3 is saved
to ‘C:\Mach3\
PLСM.log’. When exploring incorrect device work, this file must be
sent to Purelogic R&D technical Support with the detailed problem
description. To receive IP-address automatically we recommend to
leave this item active, if there is a device which can dynamically assign
IP-addresses (e.g. it can be a usual home network gateway for internet
connection )in you local network
Receiving address from DHCP-server – we recommend to make this
item active, if there is DHCP-server in your local net (device which can
dynamically set IP-address, it can be a common home network gateway
for access to the Internet).
Usage of the following IP-address – this option must be used when
there is no DHCP-server which appoints IP-addresses.
Restore IP button allows to reset IP-address of controller to those
installed by default.
If the controller is not found by the plug-in, follow the instructions in
item 6, if it is ok, skip item 6.
6. Automatic setting of network connection.
There is a complete solution for quick and easy configuration network
setting.
In (C:\Mach3\Purelogic), supplied with the devise you will find set_
ip.exe file.
After starting, this application will set up of your PC network
connections.
In case when there are several network cards are installed (several
network connections) the program will offer to specify for what
connection to change the settings.
FOR CORRECT WORK WITH PLCM CONTROLLER IT IS NOT
RECOMMENDED TO PUT THE SWITCH IN AUTOMATIC POSITION.
