Does your control support Mach3 backlash compensation?

[Alexey Vorobyev]

Yes, backlash support implemented in plcm

Purelogic RnD participated in the "Metalloobrabotka-2012" Exhibition (Moscow)

On this fair(one of the biggest in Eastern Europe) we've introduced our new devices:
CNC pendant PLCM-R1 with Ethernet support for Mach3.
new breakout board PLC4x-G2
milling machine PLRA1-RG
and other products

Since July, 2012 customers from United Kingdom can buy PLCM controllers in Zapp Automation online store.

Alexey Vorobyev,
This BOB for stepper only, not for servo?

[Alexey Vorobyev]

This is not a BOB, this is a motion controller. It generates STEP/DIR/ENABLE on out pins, so can be used with stepper or servodrives(STEP/DIR compatible, for example Purelogic servodrive PLD2080s). It can be connected to drives directly, but it's highly recommended to use a BOB like Purelogic PLC4x or PLC4x-G2.

[Alexey Vorobyev]

Yes, backlash support are implemented in PLCM.

Functions of Mach are not supported listed below:
1) Feedback through external encoders;
2) Movement using MPG ports;
3) Spindle control through Step/Dir
4) Kinds of lathe work that requires synchronization with spindle

When can I buy PLD57 Stepper Driver or other parts in Germany or on eBay etc.

When can I buy PLD57 Stepper Driver or other parts in Germany or on eBay etc.

We have no distributor in Germany at the moment, but you can send us an inquiry to info@purelogic.ru. We can arrange delivery by DHL.

If you wouldn't install driver on motor case, i recommend to use the PLD545-G3 driver, its' fucntionality is better a little bit.

Our customer shared video with plasma cutting using PLCM:

[Alexey Vorobyev]

It's also possible. But max pulsing freq. is 100kHz, so if you use 2500-point encoder, maximum speed you can get is 10 rps(600 rpm).
In most cases to get good speed you should use servodrive's internal pulse mutiplier or encoder with 500 or 1000 points per turn.

PLs note, PLCM does not process encoders' signals.

Hi
where i can get plugin for Mach3 ( Ethernet )
thanks

Hi Ger
thanks for fast reply but
its not there for sure
I tray to find it
on manual they have link to plugin but nothing there
