Override limit

[cemoa9]

Hello Tom,

Using MPG to set the feedrate and rapid override, I noticed a lower limit of 10%, under this value, Kmotion would drop an error message (which is not so easy to kill as it would reappear until FRO gets over 10% which cannot be changed because of the error message). Is there a motion reason for that limit? Can it be removed?

Cordially,,

How are you changing the FRO? What Version are you using?

You should be able to change it to any value from a C Program such as:

DoPCFloat(PC_COMM_SET_FRO,0.05f);

Hello Tom,

I am using 4.35f.

I change it from a C program using the same code and it can go to 0, but when the value is under 10%, if I click on the MDI (for example), then the error message pops out.

Cordially,

Francois

Hi Francois,

Oops I didn't catch that.

Unfortunately that value is hard coded in KMotionCNC. You would need to change the source code and recompile to change it. It would this line:

Code: Select all

			DDV_MinMaxDouble(pDX, m_FeedRateRapidValue, 0.1, 2.);

for the rapid range and this line:

Code: Select all

			DDV_MinMaxDouble(pDX, m_FeedRateValue, 0.1, 2.);

For Feed Rates. In KMotionCNCDlg.cpp

Alternatively you could change the FeedRate directly within KFLOP using a C Call such as:

SetFRO(0.01);

However this will not show/update on the Screen and the two controls will get out of sync. You might remove the controls on the screen. Also in some cases such as Cycle Start the KFLOP FRO will be reset to the screen value.
