8830 Line driver for encoder output?

[murphy625]

Will an encoder with an 8830 Line Driver output (BEI) work with my ICM2900 and 1822 combo?

2nd question:
Is there a difference between ABC channels and ABZ channels? (Is the C and the Z the same?)

Thanks,
Murphy

Yes & Yes.
The C or Z is the 1p/rev marker pulse.

Thanks AL

Now here is another question..
If I run the following code by calling the macro:

[[Macro1]]
![HOISTDOWN]
!#30=1
!SLEEP 1
!FEEDRATE 100:MACHGO \132 'move hoist out of way of steam
!WAITUNTIL STOP
!#30=0

Will the program wait until the macro [HoistDown] is run before executing #30=1 ??? Or will it execute #30=1 while its executing the [HoistDown] macro?

Also, is there any difference between daisy chaining commands on one line as opposed to putting each command on its own line?

C,Z and sometimes I.

By all means the macro should complete first. (You will find the CamSoft LOG.FIL feature and great tool for making your do and don't list for the logic, which IMO should be in the manual!)

I see by the !!!!!!!!!!!'s you have CNC LITE.

Not even CNC LITE.. Just the Graphical OI program and the rest is up to me.

I dont even know what the difference is between my Graphical OI and the other packages they offer.

My machine is NOT a typical CNC machining center. Its a "programmable hoist" thats almost 65 feet long, 13 feet tall and 12 feet wide..

Big eh? LOL
