Configuration Of Spindle And Cooling; Analog Output Configuration - CS-Lab CSMIO/IP-A Manual

10.6 Configuration of spindle and cooling

First of all, you must configure output signals. For that
you should select „Config/Ports and Pins" from menu
and go to „Spindle setup" tab. In „Relay control" group
set Mach3 output signals numbers (these are not the
numbers of CSMIO/IP outputs, see previous section
about output signals configuration). Here you can se-
lect the OUTPUT1-6 signals.
There are two options: for right revs (M3) and left revs (M4). We must uncheck „Disable Spindle Relays"
box of course - that means no support for spindle activation.
In „Flood Mist Control" group placed below, we set control of cooling activation just the same way. Here
you can also take the OUTPUT1-6 signals. If we want to use the control function of cooling activation, we
must deselect the „Disable Flood/Mist Relays" box. There are two possible modes of cooling: water mist
(M7) and water stream (M8). For each mode, we give the right output signal. You can also give the same
signal for both modes, so then it will be activated with both the M7 and M8 command from the G-Code.
Additionally in the „Delay" area, you can also set the delay you want after cooling activation before ma-
chining begins.
Time delay for spindle switching on and off is also an important parameter. In particular, the high-revs
spindles need a little time after activation to speed up to the required speed. In the „General Parameters"
group, we can define independently an acceleration and deceleration time for right and left revs.

10.6.1 Analog output configuration

The last things we configure in the „Ports and Pins" window are parameters related to the control of a
rotational speed through the digital input of CSMIO/IP-A. In the „ModBus Spindle – use step/dir as well"
group select the „Enabled" area, in the „Reg" box enter value of 64, and in the „Max ADC count" – 4095.
Now you can close the „Port and Pins" configuration window, click „Apply" and „OK."
For correct control of the revs you have to specify what range of the revs
our spindle has (including the inverter settings and eventual pulleys).
Select the „Config/Spindle Pulleys..." menu position. If we use one ratio
then enter „Min" and „Max" revs. Approve with „OK."
