According to the manual, 1SW sets the axis number for the servopack. 2SW sets the baud rate (default is position 0, 38400bps).

Strange. Maybe those servopacks have custom firmware that only works with some special version of SigmaWin? Did they come from an unusual place such as military surplus?
The only thing I can...
Strange. Does the working 10VD have a different firmware revision compared to the non-working units?
The RS232/RS422 driver/receiver in the servopack could be bad. I believe the digital operator...
Version 5.75 supports SGDB-***D drives, which should include your SGDB-10VD. Is your serial port properly configured and working?
Seven years later, I'm still using my Poor Man's Probe. :wave:
Here is the current version:

What software are you using, Oracle VirtualBox? If so, make sure you have the right Network type in the virtual machine settings. You want "Bridged Adapter" (not "NAT", which is the default).
Also...
When I import your G-code in CamBam, it shows perfect arcs ending at Y=0. So the code is fine, must be an error in the simulation.
Go to Control panel - Mouse - Pointers - Scheme. Select one of the "Large" or "Extra large" schemes and click Apply.
Try the proximity sensors again when you have a chance. They are really awesome devices, you will love them. :wave:
The schematic in your first post is correct. It should work if all the...
Judging by the symptoms, you have connected the Zener diode backwards.
Those connectors have spring contacts. A special tool (looks like a thin awl) is inserted into the rectangular opening to release the wire.
You can buy the tool, or make one yourself with an old...
The short answer is no, you cannot control this PSU with a breakout card. It is cheap for a reason.
The "exciter" output goes to the excitation winding (for special motors where that winding has...
I'm not familiar with your particular machine, but typically there is an overload protection relay between the motor and the contactor. Find that relay and see if it has tripped. If so, reset the...
Check eBay, there are quite a few Fuji modules for sale, both new and used.
Also, Fairchild FMG2G150US60 has the same package and similar electrical specs, if you can find one.
Just a reminder...
It was just a prototype, but it came out so well that I didn't bother making a PCB for it. The device worked for many years in the form of a breadboard. :wave:
On the topic of PCB manufacturing...
If you just need to assemble this circuit, you can use a breadboard. It may not look pretty, but it will get the job done. I have done much more complex things on a breadboard - see photo below.

1.5mm x 15mm endmills are not something unusual. You can buy them cheap on eBay/AliExpress.
Also, as Superman suggested, you could "tweak" the root of the tooth profile to accomodate a slightly...
I see. Yes, a 2kHz filter will definitely butcher a pulse from the encoder, even if you extend it to a few milliseconds.
I agree with Mactec. Hall sensors have their place, but this is not it.
Inductive proximity switches is what you want. They are cheap, rugged, reliable, reasonably accurate, simple to install....
The SmoothStepper manual shows a 1.5MHz low pass filter (100 ohms resistor and 1nF capacitor). So that should not be a factor.
Of course, we don't know if there is any software filtering going on...
12ms pulse period (pulse+pause). 6ms pulse length, assuming 50% duty cycle.
I would try extending the pulse further. You can even make it a 50% square wave with a flip-flop (that will divide the frequency by 2, which can be corrected in Mach3's pulley settings).
The sensor inside spindles and motors is usually a thermistor. There is no single standard, it could be anything from 1kOhm to 100kOhm. A 100k potentiometer should cover most cases. Adjust it slowly...
10160 steps per inch would be the correct number for 5mm screws.
200 (steps per turn) * 10 (microstepping) / 5 (mm per turn) * 25.4 (mm per inch) = 10160.
The ground and power wires should have a direct connection to the L393 (=LM393) chip. Check that with an ohmmeter. Pin 4 of the chip is ground, pin 8 is power.
Normally, wire colors for ground and...
That means the thermostat has a half-wave rectifier, as opposed to a full-wave bridge. Wrong polarity will not damage it, it just won't turn on (as you have observed). Now take a red marker and draw...
As Al said, 12V can be connected either way to terminals 3 and 4.
The relay contacts (terminals 1 and 2) I personally would wire to the safety/E-Stop circuit so the machine would turn off if the...
Yes. The results are saved as new files ("-Syntec" is added to the original file name). The original files remain intact.
For now I run it manually after posting a program. There might be a...
I wrote a Powershell script that converts all numbers for X, Y, Z, A, I, J (but leaves alone F).
I wonder if there is a way to run the script automatically from the post processor? I think I might...
Thanks for the offer Kitten, but that would be overkill. I only had 3 programs to make for the Syntec, so I did it in the text editor.
Still would be nice to find a solution for the post processor...
