Mach3 Machine Driver Software
The majority of Dragon A150 operation is controlled through Bend-Tech software. Bend-Tech
software uses Mach3 as its CNC driver software to control the operations of the A150 and
drive its various axes and other operations. While Bend-Tech is the main operating interface
for the machine, it is important for the Operator to be able to interface with Mach3 and perform
troubleshooting through the software. It is critical that the computer be optimized to run Mach3
and to have clear Ethernet connection between the computer (Mach3) and the Dragon A150
ESS board.
Installing Warp 9 Utility
If the ESS board is waiting for communications and the amber Link Light is on, the Ethernet
port on the computer needs to be configured for use. Typically the software will display a
wakeup error message that reads: “The ESS did not respond to the wakeup message. If this is
a new profile, you will need to enter an IP address. Is your ESS powered and connected?”
At this point the Operator can choose to click Yes to try connecting again, click No to enter a
new IP address or click Cancel to stop trying to connect to the ESS.
If it has been determined the Operator is required to run the Warp9 scu tool, contact a Bend-
Tech support tech for assistance. The Warp9 Utility will optimize the connection between the
computer and Mach3.
Prioritizing Mach On The Computer
It is important to optimize the computer for use in running the machine. This will result in the
most efficient use of both machine and software for the user. Prioritizing Mach3 is critical to
optimizing Dragon A150 performance. Follow these steps to prioritize Mach3 in the computer’s
