Help! I deleted the firmware from my DSP controller

[vijayv]

Dear all,

Now when I change any settings, the DSP goes to "Cutting OFF the power to restart" and when I switch off the DSP and connect again, it shows, Z-Hart Limit. its going on processing, what shall I do.

Kindly do the needful

Please help me in this regard.. ""Hi all, I bought a Chinese CNC router wich I received a few days ago, it´s not an Excitech router, but as far as I´ve seen it´s identical. It came with a DSP controller, and the "UsbCam" driver and the Signtek program to be installed on a PC. I installed the driver and then the program, but when I opened the program I found all the menus and options were in Chinese! I connected the DSP to the PC, and the red LED started flashing (which means the DSP was recognized by the program). Then I only had to find the way to change the program from Chinese to English, so I blindly clicked all the options. At some point, a progress bar appeared. I don´t know what i did but, after that, my DSP stopped working at all... Oh my good, I think I deleted the DSP firmware! Now if I turn on the DSP, I can´t see the logo and the "Go to home?" question anymore. The screen and the red LED light up, but no matter what I do the screen is always blank (no text, no logo, nothing). I asked about this to my vendor and they told me I could reset the DSP memory by pressing the OK button and switching on, but it didn´t work. I´m not sure if they will be able to give me a fast solution, and of course I don´t want to ship the DSP to China for repair because I´m eager to start using the router as soon as possible. My guess is: if I was able to delete or overwrite the DSP memory from the Signtek program, I should also be able to restore it to its original settings. Am I wrong? I know many of you have a DSP controller which is identical to mine. Do you have any suggestion to solve my problem? Could anyone send me the English version of the Signtek program? I know there is an English version because Shannon posted an screenshot here: http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showth...t=56099&page=2 But I can´t find the program to download anywhere. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!""

Dear all,

Can anyone help us to solve this issue.....

Now we are facing a problem as the error message "Z-hard Limit triged, STOP to reboot, DELETE to adjust z position". When we press stop, it shows "Cutting off the power to restart".
And it is not getting restarted and because of this, we couldn't proceed with the cutting.

Kindly help us in solving this problem.

I have the same problem, x-hard limit triged, have you solve the problem?

Thank you

hi can you please mail the signtek and dsp controller software and any other ifo you may have, Im a service engineer for EMACH CNC Machinery, Plasma, Routers, Engravers and Machining Centres and I started the company after we stopped retrofitting these jiachen machines, A customer has lost all info and software.

HI, I have the same problem with the DSP controller.
already solved? Can you help please

[QUOTE=emanuel587;9431HI, I have the same problem with the DSP controller.

HI Emanuel587:
If it shows your message, it means that the controller gets signal from Hard limit sensor of Z axis. when this happens, the controller can not move the machine any more. what you need to do is to shut down the power of the machine and push the Z axis to safe position by hand(make the gantry leaves away from the sensor, a very small distance is ok). then supply power to the machine, then everything will be ok.
when this happens, it means that the controller is working well. But you need to check, there must be something wrong(especially some parameter) inside. Normally we use two hardlimit sensors for each axis to prevent it from override the machine. Such as: Z axis, one is on the top and the other is on the bottom. so Z axis can not goes up or down out of its guide. and for the controller, we also have any other protection, there is a home sensor, and home sensor's position is lower than the top hard limit sensor for Z axis, and inside the controller, we need to set the talbe size of Z, such as:200mm. so you can see: normally the Z axis can not touch the hard limit sensor. the z axis can move only from the home sensor position to -200mm.
1.if the z axis position is on the top, maybe it means that your home sensor of z does not work. or you have made it GoHome when the machine gets power.
2.if the z axis position is on the bottom, it means that your inside settings are wrong( the pulse equivalent and table size; if pulse equivalent is wrong, you ask it move 150, but it really moves 300 then touch the hard limit sensor. if you set wrong table size, such as 300, and the real is 200 for z, when it moves more than 200, it triggle the hard limit sensor).
3And of course there is another possiblity that is: the hard limit sensor is short circuit, then you need to check the wires and its voltage setup in the dsp controller settings.
1 2 are different from 3, it is easy to tell: if 3 happens, after it goes home, the warning message shows on the dsp display. if it is 1 or 2, the warning message just show when the axis move to touch the sensor's position.
So here, after you push the z axis back, then check it.
hope it can help.
Any future questions, pls send email: king9558@msn.com

Alan

[Mr le]

my problem same as, and I cannot control, Pls help me.
I cannot follow Alan' instructions because it does not give me control and i can't move Z axis by hand. Thanks!

Hi people

I have a chinese cnc big cnc with servo dirvers from starcnc.

i have this machine from last year, working well but recently any is not going well, normally i mill 3d figures in foam or poliuretane, so is a good material to mill at higth speed.

In the past my machine could millg well at 25000mm/mint, or 30000mm/mint, now we can console with only 10000mm/mint

Where is the problem? i dont know, i see and read and read all dsp and machine manuals and dsp options, configurations, etc but allways the same.

When i try to send a program from the dsp to the machine try to change the speed values, example 20000, etc but sudenly the dsp menu tell me (the speed is to higth, excess the pulse limits, please change it) finally only accept 10000mm/mint nothing more!!!!

I send mails to the chinese that send me the machine but they didnt give me any solution.

I send you here the parameters of my machine and the dsp, hope if anyone can help me !!!

many people will tell me change tha max speed values!! yes it was changed, other solution please...

here are the mail that i send to the chinese people, including parameters of my machine.


I tell you about.

Machine can run very fast manually ,which is mean all the pluse and everything is just fine yes no problem here!!


I think in Machine Setup ,there is a Spd ..limit .Find out if you have set procness speed limit to be 5000mm/min .,if so ,change it to be bigger like

20000m/min Yes i know here can change the speed limit, i have here 30000mm/min for x axis, 30000 for y axis an 15000 for z axis and can change this values up or dow, but is the same always do the same.




And also ,I want you check rocess speed d travel speed in the Auto pro setup ,change it bigger if it is writing 5000mm/min . here i find a problem, in my AUTO PRO SETUP menu i only have:
-linear aceleration:600
-curv aceleration:800
-Gcode read (all disabled)
-Process time


nothing about speed travel speed, we dont have this option in my dsp aoto pro setup menu, and nothing about on the rest of the dsp menus, only the option when push cancel , here can change the speed values about low and higth speed, now we have here low( 3000, 3000, 1500) Higth (40000, 40000, 25000)but this values are only for run manually.


The rest of the values are this ones:


Machine setup menu-


-Pulse equivalence: x400 y 400 z800
-table size: x1800, y3900, z 450
-home setup
-Spindle setup
-Spindle delay
-speed limit x +30000 -30000, y +30000 -30000, z +15000 -15000 (here we prove more or less speed but nothing change when i try to send the program)
-Voltaje setup ( here all teh arrows are down)
-cad thickness (0.000)
-screw interspace(o,oo0, o,oo0,o.oo0)


with this values for example try to send the program.


load any program, (y try several programs allways the same)


Proc spd............20000 (try several speeds)


travel speed.......20000 (try several speeds)


zdaw rat..............1
spd ratio..............1
spd grad...............1
x axis...................400
y axis....................400
z axis.....................900
z up.......................10




send the program, pulse ok and the DSP screen tell me "speed is too fast, please change it", allways the same finally never can run a program more fast than 10000mm/min


anyone can help??
