Now to my problem... so this time I wanted to get a more decent BOB and I settled on the NVUMV2 4 axis. It was great until I had to figure out that the onboard DC to DC convertor was dead. But this was no great issues as I supplied an external 12V to make my Inputs work (why I did not send it back you say, well because I bought from Lollette website, and these offer ZERO support... I mean none what so ever).
So anyways, this week I got my plasma machine and noticed that the OUTPUTS are not working ( or I cannot get them to work)!!!
So I ve noticed that the board switches the optocouplers to ground, hence I checked that I have ground in both GND1s and even on the optocop legs... I have also check that there is continuity from the OUTPUT pin to the optocop (if lets say we are testing OUTPUT1). I have even made a macro commanding to activate output1 and even others but I just get the blinking light from the Mach 3s diagnostic tab. I have checked that whilst having the spindle or mist or flood (M3,M7,M8) ACTIVE, there was no sign of voltage on the optocoupler, thus it looks the signal from Mach3 is not being sent, however I am highly doubt this!!!!??? BtW I am trying to operate and 12V relay with an external power source.
Can someone shed some light here please? Should I look more into Mach 3 settings?
I have asked the manufacturer to send my the latest wireware ( still waiting on their reply)?
Please let me know if you need more details for your understanding.
I thank all of you in advance!
