+ | ++++ How to update the software? | | ||
+ | |||
+ | The procedure to update the myCNC application is described in detail in the following manual: [[mycnc:update_mycnc|How to update MyCNC Software]] | ||

+ | ++++ How to update the profile? | | ||
+ | |||
+ | There are a couple ways to update a profile which are described in the following manual: [[mycnc: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Profiles are typically updated to obtain new PLC procedures, macros, and visual enhancements. Profile updates and software updates are separate actions. | ||
+ | |||
+ | It is not recommend to select to update the Variables, if updating the profile through the myCNC application, | ||
+ | |||
+ | If updating manually, many users also prefer to keep their PLC folder intact to make sure any changes unique to their setups do not get overwritten by the default configuration. | ||

+ | |||
+ | {{youtube> | ||
+ | |||
+ | In order to switch the current technology / profile within the software (for example, to switch from the Mill profile to a Plasma profile, or from a Plasma profile to Tangential Cutting): | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Go into Settings > Info | ||
+ | * In the right panel, | ||
+ | * Click the Save Profile button | ||
+ | * Reload the application | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{::forum-feb2020-014-profile-switch.png}} | ||
+ | |||
+ | The myCNC software should now switch to the chosen technology profile. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ++++ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ++++ Why do the changes to Config/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | The settings in the Config panel are typically edited by the system integrator only when setting up the machine. After completing the setup process, or in cases when the settings within the Config tab are changed, it is recommended to restart the program. All changes to the settings available to the operator (from the main screen / via User Settings) take effect immediately without rebooting. | ||

+ | |||
+ | {{youtube> | ||
+ | |||
+ | In an event of an emergency stop or failure of a mill machine running a program file, it is often useful to be able to open the file back up afterwards and be able to continue from the middle of the program without having to go through all the steps again. This is often complicated by the fact that a large program file consists of many lines of code, making it difficult to easily navigate to the place where the cutting process stopped initially. In order to facilitate finding this spot, the Run from Here process is put in place in myCNC software. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Run from Here method is described in the following section of the myCNC Screen manual: [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ++++ | ||
+ | |||
+ | ++++ What's the difference between axes and motor outputs | | ||
+ | |||
+ | The difference between motors and axes is that multiple motors can be used for the same axis. For instance, a gantry may use two motors for the two sides of the machine during the alignment, however they are both still the " | ||
+ | |||
+ | If a "dual axis" is required, then you can assign a specific axis (for instance, axis Y) to two motors. This "slave Y" setup is illustrated in the following section of the manual: [[mycnc: | ||
+ | |||
+ | For tool change macros (M6) you'd need to move one motor to some parking location and switch the Z axis to a new motor output. This change between different motor outputs is illustrated in the following example: [[mycnc: | ||
+ | |||
+ | A visual way of thinking about the concept of switching motors is to imagine that one needs to draw a coloured picture on a piece of paper with six different coloured pencils. Such an operation does not require six arms to complete - instead, one arm (one axis) may be enough. All that is required is to switch the pencils (different motors) by leaving them on the side of the table in some sort of a " | ||

+ | |||
+ | ++++ Why is the machine not moving despite the on-screen coordinates changing? | | ||
+ | |||
+ | If after the motors have been connected, the machine isn't moving despite the on-screen coordinates changing while pressing the jog keys, the pulse width might be set up incorrectly, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Typically, if using a stepper motor, a higher setting number than the default should be chosen in order to allow the machine to register the pulses sent to it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | NOTE: The first value in the Pulse Width field in the myCNC settings refers to the first four movement directions for the controller (for example, X+, X-, Y+ and Y-), while the second value refers to the last two movement directions (for example, Z+ and Z-). Typically, these fields should be set to the same value, however they can be different if different drivers are used on the last two axes (motors 5 and 6) as compared to motors 1 through 4. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ++++ | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ++++ How does encoder resolution work in myCNC? | | ||
+ | |||
+ | On modern servo drivers, the motor encoder connects directly to the servo driver and does not connect to the myCNC controller. Therefore, the encoder system, whether the encoder is absolute or incremental, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The servo driver has outputs for emulation of the incremental encoder ABZ. It is these signals that should be sent to the controller to obtain information about the rotor' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Within myCNC, the resolution (number of pulses per revolution) is usually a parameter of the servo driver that can be adjusted, and therefore is not directly related to the physical resolution of the actual encoder. | ||
