SmartBOB controllers and dedicated accessories / PMDX 424 E-Stop & Fault actions... similar to PMDX 126?
« on: April 04, 2017, 08:36:05 PM »
Drinking in Manuals and Forum posts! The PMDX 126 BOB manual provides some great detail on input actions and filtering in section 6 that I can't seem to find in the 4xx SmartBOB manuals. I'm wondering if the 424 acts similarly, particularly on E-Stop and Fault. Please point me elsewhere if I'm missing something!
A couple specific questions on the 424:
1. Is Fault filtered and captured after ~50ms as with the 126, and is that when all outputs (incl. motor enables) are disabled AND Mach4 gets the report?
2. Are (a) outputs re-enabled on-board if Fault is de-asserted, or (b) does the 424 wait for Mach4 to restart things?
3. If 2(a) is true, is there any concern about, say, an unintended spindle restart or axis movement, independent of Mach?
Thanks in advance... This will help me design the interface between the PMD 424 Fault input and my 3 servo Fault Outputs.
