Just litte upgrade about firmware things. The latest firmware is now 114 which got released today.
114 just workaroudns an Estop problem with Mach3 when using reference design breakout board. Previous operation wasn't a bug but limitations of parallel control port made it look like one.
Changes from V110 to V114
Code:
V111 (beta) 17.8.07-
** Recovery speed is now applied every time drive recovers from idle/fault state to active
** Improved recovery completion during moving or noisy target value
** Step/dir source in velocity now acts as pulse frequency input. Quadrature and PWM modes are unchanged
** Peak current limit now 15A, 0.5 sec
** Adjustable HV fault limit
* SPI watchdog added
** New internal input command sequencer for precisely timed motion profiles
** Fixed possible follow error clitch at power-up
* Better factory default settings
- Changed homing sequence post-offset scaling to raw value
** Fixed homing index pulse search on inverted encoder
* Changing CPR, encoder inversion or pole count now requires reset
** Fixed configuration saving problem when high voltages are not present
* Added 192 byte data flash buffer for any data (base address 4096)
- Various changes to help cooperation with the new GDtool
- Unified addressing/accessing method for all user data buffers on drive
- Scope capture length is now adjustable
* In torque mode trajectory planner & input scaler has now no effect
and input filter has been compensated to keep constant gain
* PWM input scaler added
- Scope TRIG_TARGETCHANGE works now in fault condition too
- Code cleanups
** Homing post offset now done at homing vel/accel limits
- Minimum recovery speed is now 1 (old 0)
** Enabled CPU pull-up resistors for optoisolator inputs, faster stepping input
* Feedforward scope channels are now combined (summed)
* Position plot start point now always zero
- Firmware now reports hardware version to SPI host
- Changed encoder inversion implementation from software to hardware
** Improved index pulse search algorithm
** By default, acceleration limit is now not active in step/dir or any other pulse modes
** New control stiffness test for tuning
- New commands:
CMD_STORE_TO_BUFFER
MISC_START_SEQUENCE
MISC_GET_ABS32_TARGET_VALUE
BL_NOP
- New parameters:
CFG_HV_VOLTAGE_LIMIT
RUNTIME_INPUT_WATCHDOG
READONLY_BACKWARDS_COMP_VERSION
CFG_PWM_SCALER
CFG_STARTUP_DELAY
- New flags
HOMING_FULL_SPEED_OFFSET_MOVE
FLAG_USE_PULSE_IN_ACCEL_LIMIT
- New sequence formats:
SEQ_FORMAT_INC16_DLY16
SEQ_FORMAT_TORQUE_INJECT
V112 7.11.2007
** From beta to official release
V113 (beta) 7.11.07-
- Corrected READONLY_BACKWARDS_COMP_VERSION value
** Fault output operation is now more CNC control friendly if fault output conencted to Estop
- New flags
FLAG_ALLOW_FAULT_OUT_ON_EXT_DISABLE
V114 6.12.2007
** From beta to official release
