Subject: Kmotion option tab

I have a kflop and kstep that are working fine running G Code. I just got my ribbon cables and breakout boards and was looking for the selection button for the Kstep board in the option tab of the Kmotion software and it is not there. Is it available or required for setting outputs,or reading inputs? I am trying to test and see I/O I am hooking up to the breakout boards.

I am wanting to set up inputs to run pre-selected moves and outputs showing move complete and controller status then flash it to the controller for a PLC to control repeated moves for a part picker/placer. Is there some existing C-Code available to start working out?

Hi Phil,

There isn't an Option tab for KSTEP. The Digital IO Screen has a Tab for the KSTEP Inputs. For KFLOP to perform the multiplexing input sequence KFLOP must be informed there is a KSTEP connected to JP7 with:

KStepPresent=TRUE; // enable KSTEP input multiplexing

The Relay output drivers are connected to KFLOP's standard IO 0 and 1. This is described here:

Attached is a simple example to watch two inputs and move to defined positions when they transition high. Relay0 will go inactive while the axis is moving.

Tom,

I noticed that thanks were not sent for your answer.

Thank you for all the information
