Drive Fault Setup

Description of the problem:

When a drive faults the control doesn't stop.

Solution:

Our systems have an axis fault error that can be configured to E-Stop the system if an drive error occurs. The signal comes into Mach3 from input X0 (on the Apollo I/III).

To set it up:

1. Go to Config->Ports and Pins->Input Signals
2. Enable OEM Trigger 1 and set it to Port 1 Pin 10 for the Apollo I or Port 11 Pin 0 for the Apollo III
3. Go to Plugin Control->MachMotion Config
4. Under I/O Configuration there is a line labeled Drive Fault set it to OEMTRIGGER1
5. Save settings and it will be set up to fault if a drive error occurs.
