Hi David,

That would tend to indicate your S or M3 is disabling the axes or changing the coordinate system.  What is your Coordinate system configured as?  How many Axes in your coordinate system?

How do you have S and M3 configured?  What Programs are you using?

Troubleshoot by removing one or the other or both to see which may be causing the problem.

TK

 

Hi Tom,

I'm getting strange error in KMCNC when I try to run a gcode program which I have run many times previously.

The screen message box says " G Code Error - Axis Disabled - G Code Aborted".

The first few lines of the program are this...

F30 S700
M3
G1 X10.500 Y0.50
G1 X10.0 Y1.5
and so on for about another 250 lines before

M5
M30

The red arrow shows up beside the first G1 line when the message box appears.

The KMotion screen shows everything as usual, with the axis enabled and no console error messages and Step Response works as expected.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance,
David.

Hi David,

Do you have more than 4 axes?

You might be referring to this function to define 6 axes

DefineCoordSystem6(X,Y,Z,A,B,C);

Hi Tom,

I recall there are some special config settings if more than 4 axis are being used, but I can't seem to find the details. Could you possibly point me in that direction?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Tom,

It seems this issue is ongoing. I removed the M and S codes completely from the gcode and the fault is still showing up. The customer with this machine likes it to run fast, which got me thinking there may be an issue with excessive speed. Would this error occur if the XY axis were pushed to the maximum limits for speed?

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

If you try to exceed the speed that your system is capable of you may get a Following Error and the Axis disabled.

The KMotion Console Screen should display a Following Error if it is open at the time of the error.

You might try using the Step Response Screen to test a move slightly faster than what your customer is using to verify the system is capable of that speed.

The only thing that shows in the Console window is Result=0. I don't have any processes running with that as a print statement, that I know of or can find. The system should be easily capable of the speeds being used, but I am at a loss to explain to them why this is happening.

Hi Tom,

It looks like the print out is from the program which monitors external buttons. The machine has a pendant with a Start and Estop button which are setup to trigger bits. The Estop function is written to disable all axis. I think there may be a noise issue triggering this as the problem is random.

Just out of curiosity, what exactly does the DoPC(PC_COMM_ESTOP) function do? I'm not using it, as my program was written to disable the individual axis, but it may be a better option for this problem.

Thanks for your help,

David.

 

Hi David,

For us to help you would need to provide more information. What is the history?  Did this ever work?  What changes were made?  Is it a consistent failure?  Are the axes actually disabled?  Can you re-enable them?  Have you tried other commands/GCode?  Lower Speeds?

I believe that print out is in the code. You might find an editor that can do a "find in files" for use when you can't find something. Visual Studio has a great one.

M3
G1 X10.500 Y0.50
G1 X10.0 Y1.5
and so on for about another 250 lines before

M5
M30

The red arrow shows up beside the first G1 line when the message box appears.

The KMotion screen shows everything as usual, with the axis enabled and no console error messages and Step Response works as expected.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance,
David.

Hi Tom,

It looks like the print out is from the program which monitors external buttons. The machine has a pendant with a Start and Estop button which are setup to trigger bits. The Estop function is written to disable all axis. I think there may be a noise issue triggering this as the problem is random.

Just out of curiosity, what exactly does the DoPC(PC_COMM_ESTOP) function do? I'm not using it, as my program was written to disable the individual axis, but it may be a better option for this problem.

Thanks for your help,

David.

Hi David,

For us to help you would need to provide more information. What is the history?  Did this ever work?  What changes were made?  Is it a consistent failure?  Are the axes actually disabled?  Can you re-enable them?  Have you tried other commands/GCode?  Lower Speeds?

I believe that print out is in the code. You might find an editor that can do a "find in files" for use when you can't find something. Visual Studio has a great one.

Hi Tom,

Apparently the Start button is using Debounce, but not the Estop. I didn't know the Debounce would help with the noise, so I will change that see if it makes the issue stop.

What are your thoughts on changing from disabling the axis to simply stopping motion using Jog(0,0),etc.? Could the user then simply press the Start button to continue if it was determined the stop wasn't necessary?

Thanks for your guidance,

David.

 

Hi David,

That would make sense.  

Are you using the Debounce function to observe the input?  That would tend to filter noise. 

The PC_COMM_ESTOP sends a command to KMotionCNC to push the Stop Button. Your current method should be more reliable as it doesn't depend on the PC.

Hi David,

Disclaimer: Its up to you to determine what is appropriate for EStop on your system.  We don't want that responsibility.

One possibility it to perform a Feed Hold by calling StopCoordinatedMotion();

That should bring the system to a controlled stop along the motion path and allow motion to resume by releasing feed hold ResumeCoordinatedMotion();

Hi Tom,

Don't worry, I have a lousy lawyer.

I'll try a few things in the morning to see what works best. The Feed Hold solution sounds pretty sensible.

Thanks again for your help,

David.
