[00:06:10] <zeeshan> if i touch 120VAC between hot and neutral
[00:06:15] <zeeshan> and my resistance is about 1000 ohms
[00:06:32] <zeeshan> I = V / R = 120/1000 = 0.12
[00:06:36] <zeeshan> 120 mA can kill you
[00:06:50] <zeeshan> they say more than 6mA you will feel a shock
[00:06:53] <zeeshan> but if you do
[00:07:04] <zeeshan> I = 12 / 1000 = 0.012 = 12mA (12V dc system)
[00:07:10] <zeeshan> i've touched +12v and - 12v all the time
[00:07:14] <zeeshan> it doesnt do anything
[00:07:16] <zeeshan> even w/ wet hands
[00:07:28] <zeeshan> whats going on?
[00:08:13] <jdh> with what
[00:08:16] <SpeedEvil> you're inventing the 1000
[00:08:56] <zeeshan> oh
[00:09:03] <zeeshan> 1000 to 500 ohms is for wet skin
[00:12:54] <zeeshan> cant find values
[00:12:57] * zeeshan going to measure his resistance
[00:13:18] <DaViruz> it is futile.
[00:14:22] -!- adb has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[00:18:52] <zeeshan> wet is about
[00:18:58] <zeeshan> 660000 ohms
[00:19:11] <zeeshan> dry is about 1100000 ohms
[00:19:19] <zeeshan> i dont know where the fuck this 1000 ohm number is coming from
[00:19:20] <zeeshan> on the internet
[00:19:35] -!- rob_h has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
[00:20:45] <zeeshan> this is hand to hand
[00:20:52] <zeeshan> hand to foot is about 12M ohm
[00:21:45] <zeeshan> 120 / 660000 = 0.00018 A
[00:21:51] <zeeshan> okay time to touch 120V conectors

[00:30:05] <zeeshan> read more about it
[00:30:19] <zeeshan> okay yea its the current that kills you

[00:30:39] <zeeshan> but human body ohms is a function of voltage.
[00:30:59] <zeeshan> like a 12V power supply doesnt have enough voltage to pierce through you
[00:31:01] <zeeshan> but 120V does
[00:31:09] <jdh> also dc v.s ac
[00:31:13] <zeeshan> the more the electricity pierces through you
[00:31:19] <zeeshan> the lower your ohms is
[00:31:32] <zeeshan> so that 1000 ohms value is a "safe" value osha uses
[00:31:50] <zeeshan> why does ac vs dc matter
[00:31:56] <zeeshan> 120V dc would be more dangerous i'd think
[00:31:58] <zeeshan> than 120V AC
[00:32:05] <zeeshan> cause of the cyclic nature
[00:34:28] <zeeshan> this is interesting stuff :D
[00:35:39] <jfigie> 120VAC has peaks of 170 V
[00:35:55] <zeeshan> oh yea
[00:35:58] <zeeshan> i forgot its 120vac rms
[00:36:05] <zeeshan> 120 * sqrt 2
[00:37:21] <zeeshan> is it always true that a short between a neutral wire
[00:37:33] <zeeshan> and a metal case that is grounded
[00:37:38] <zeeshan> can never go live?
[00:37:52] <zeeshan> all the books ive seen and articles ive read
[00:37:57] <zeeshan> say it won't
[00:38:01] <zeeshan> but i think theyre idealizing
[00:38:49] <jdh> in theory, theory and practice are the same.
[00:38:55] <zeeshan> :)
[00:39:22] <jfigie> as long as it is really grounded. The neutral and ground are tied together where the service enters
[00:39:34] <jfigie> the building
[00:39:42] <jfigie> typically
[00:39:47] <zeeshan> so how will you ever know
[00:39:49] <zeeshan> tehre is a short there?
[00:39:50] <zeeshan> without a GFCI
[00:42:44] <zeeshan> https://www.flickr.com/photos/128539016@N05/15865831068/
[00:42:45] <Valen> in the USA where you have transformers yeah it'll probably work
[00:42:47] <zeeshan> so many neutrals and grounds
[00:43:07] micges-dev1 is now known as micges
[00:43:09] <Valen> here you can get a certain amount of difference between neutral and ground i believe
[00:43:20] <zeeshan> valen when i worked at eaton
[00:43:27] <zeeshan> we used to sell gfci breakers
[00:43:34] <zeeshan> we got complaints on nuisance tripping
[00:44:06] <zeeshan> cost most commercial gfci are meant to trip at 6mA or if neutral is shorted out
[00:44:18] <zeeshan> but if you hook up a grounded air collector to that circuit
[00:44:25] <zeeshan> you can easily get more tham 6mA leakage
[00:44:30] <zeeshan> so they kept on tripping :/
[00:44:56] <zeeshan> so we sold them our breakers that can have their trip current adjustable :)
[00:45:09] <zeeshan> *cost = cause
[00:45:20] <Tom_itx> those videos are good but they sure drag on
[00:45:33] <zeeshan> what videos

[00:48:20] <zeeshan> so if any one of my neutral wires decided to short to the metal chassis
[00:48:33] <zeeshan> the case wouldnt go live
[00:48:41] <zeeshan> but if the hot wire shorted to neutral or the case
[00:48:45] <zeeshan> fuse protection will go off
[00:48:51] <zeeshan> anything else i overlooked?
[00:49:03] <Tom_L> neutral doesn't go to the case?
[00:49:14] <zeeshan> whatcha mean
[00:49:31] <Tom_L> the case isn't grounded?
[00:49:40] <zeeshan> case will be grounded
[00:49:52] <Tom_L> neutral != GND ?
[00:49:53] <zeeshan> the 3awg main wire coming from the breaker
[00:50:11] <zeeshan> yes neutral normally doesnt short to the case
[00:50:18] <zeeshan> thats why the neutral bus is insulated on the left
[00:50:29] <zeeshan> but im saying, if a neutral wire decided to short
[00:51:08] <Tom_L> i'm somewhat trying to figure out what went wrong in my box
[00:51:17] <zeeshan> well since neutral is always bonded at the main breaker panel
[00:51:19] <zeeshan> its always grounded i guess
[00:51:21] <Tom_L> all the 5v blew but the 5v reg is good
[00:51:25] <jfigie> yes if it decided to short you would have a neutral ground fault but it would probably go undetected
[00:51:34] <Tom_L> one dude thinks it came from the PC
[00:51:37] <zeeshan> jfigie: what if both neutral
[00:51:41] <zeeshan> was shorted to the case
[00:51:43] <Tom_L> i'm not quite buying his idea
[00:51:47] <zeeshan> and then mr hot wire decided to short
[00:52:14] <zeeshan> Tom_L: what are you using to power the 5v?
[00:52:17] <zeeshan> computer PSU?
[00:52:21] <Tom_L> smps
[00:52:27] <zeeshan> what brand
[00:52:34] <zeeshan> think it had a temporary hiccup?
[00:52:39] <Tom_L> tom_L brand
[00:52:51] <jfigie> then you would trip the breaker if the hot shorts to the case even is neutral is already shorted
[00:53:06] <Tom_L> http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/misc_stuff/5v_switcher.jpg
[00:53:09] <Tom_L> one of those
[00:53:09] <zeeshan> i blew up some CC fuses today
[00:53:13] <zeeshan> they're really not dramatic at all
[00:53:17] <zeeshan> like car fuses at 120vac
[00:53:53] <zeeshan> jfigie: tell me if im over thinking it
[00:53:55] <Tom_L> http://tom-itx.no-ip.biz:81/~webpage/cnc/psu/control9.jpg
[00:53:57] <Tom_L> left side there
[00:54:00] <zeeshan> but do you think theres any use of having a GFCI main breaker for the machine?
[00:54:09] <Tom_L> i'm gonna do some rewiring i think
[00:54:12] <zeeshan> im thinking there is absolutely no way become part of the circuit
[00:54:15] <Tom_L> that's not a final pic btw
[00:54:20] <zeeshan> its not like the enclosure will get filled with water
[00:55:01] -!- sumpfralle [sumpfralle!~lars@v22014112486721426.yourvserver.net] has joined #linuxcnc
[00:55:05] <zeeshan> i can see why you need a gfci in a washroom, say you drop your hairdryer in the sink, the electricity will still flow through it without shorting
[00:55:12] <zeeshan> and when you touch that water, you'll become part of the circuit too
[00:55:14] <jfigie> I would not use a gfci. They tend to nuisance trip if there is too much leakage current/
[00:55:18] <zeeshan> and since you've got about 1000 ohms of resistance
[00:55:29] <zeeshan> it'll only pass .2 A through you approx and not trip the overload
[00:55:30] <jdh> our work scenarios always start with "the building is full of water"
[00:55:34] <jfigie> If your enclosure is metal and well bonded to ground it should be OK
[00:56:07] <zeeshan> well to check if the metal enclosures are well bonded
[00:56:26] <zeeshan> i measure the resistance at various points of the case and the ground bar (where the earth wire will hook up to from the breaker panel)
[00:56:28] <jfigie> That is why UL and other standards require a ground bond test for some standards
[00:56:33] <zeeshan> and i get less than 0.1 ohms
[00:56:53] <jfigie> The ground must be capable of carrying the fault current
[00:57:09] <zeeshan> so if its a 100 amp circuit
[00:57:10] <jfigie> If that is the case then you should be OK
[00:57:12] <zeeshan> it needs to be sized to 3awg
[00:57:15] <Tom_L> does the ground cable go back thru the neutral plug wire?

[00:57:31] <zeeshan> huh
[00:57:47] <zeeshan> http://sub.allaboutcircuits.com/images/00075.png
[00:57:51] <zeeshan> this is a proper circuit Tom_itx
[00:58:13] <zeeshan> i know you can't bond neutral and ground at a sub enclosure sometimes
[00:58:14] <Tom_L> where does GROUND POINT go?
[00:58:17] <zeeshan> because the upstream breaker wont trip
[00:58:19] <Tom_L> ground rod?

[00:58:26] <zeeshan> the ground point goes from your main panel bus bar
[00:58:29] <zeeshan> to a water pipe usually
[00:58:38] <zeeshan> i know for accessory buildings
[00:58:41] <zeeshan> it'll go to a ground rod
[00:58:43] MattyMatt is now known as TenFingeredMatt
[00:59:02] <Tom_L> so neutral and ground _are_ tied together
[00:59:05] TenFingeredMatt is now known as MattyMatt
[00:59:06] <zeeshan> yes
[00:59:07] <zeeshan> at one place.

[00:59:24] <zeeshan> your upstream breaker might not trip.
[00:59:28] <Tom_L> the case has a large ground lug on the plate
[00:59:31] <zeeshan> *upstream being the main panel breaker

[01:00:04] <Tom_L> bottom right

[01:00:37] <Tom_L> to the plug iirc
[01:00:49] <Tom_L> i'd have to freeze my arse off and go check for sure
[01:00:53] <zeeshan> where does the ground from your main panel go?
[01:00:54] <Tom_L> but i'm not gonna
[01:01:01] <zeeshan> do you guys have a water pipe?
[01:01:11] <Tom_L> not where the mill is
[01:01:20] <zeeshan> no
[01:01:25] <zeeshan> like your power to this cnc mill
[01:01:33] <Tom_L> wall outlet
[01:01:33] <zeeshan> it comes from your resideential panel?
[01:01:36] <Tom_L> yes
[01:01:46] <zeeshan> the main ground for your residential panel is what im asking
[01:01:47] <Tom_L> it has a 10' ground rod going to it
[01:01:58] <zeeshan> ahhh
[01:02:03] <zeeshan> well if youre ever ensure
[01:02:07] <zeeshan> *unsure
[01:02:14] <zeeshan> i'd measure the ohms between that ground point in your casse
[01:02:17] <zeeshan> and the 10' ground rod :)
[01:02:28] <zeeshan> should be 3-4 ohms
[01:02:29] <Tom_L> i'm just trying to figure out what happened to cause the short
[01:02:33] <Tom_L> it's still a mystery to me
[01:02:42] <Tom_L> but i haven't dug very far yet
[01:03:15] <zeeshan> i dunno how youve designed your 5v supply
[01:03:22] <zeeshan> do you have an isolation plane?
[01:03:41] <zeeshan> cause if the voltage for some reason jumped
[01:03:47] <zeeshan> could cause an issue?
[01:04:17] <Tom_L> it's possible i did it myself but i'm unaware of it if i did
[01:04:28] <Tom_L> i was doing some wiring but i'm generally quite cautions
[01:04:32] <Tom_L> ous*
[01:04:57] <zeeshan> you know what i saw once?
[01:04:59] <Tom_L> i'm planning to rework some of the box
[01:05:01] <zeeshan> a copper whisker
[01:05:11] <zeeshan> that caused a huge short circuit in a distribution panel
[01:05:11] <zeeshan> lol
[01:05:17] <Tom_L> yeah
[01:05:26] <Tom_L> those take time to grow though
[01:06:09] <Tom_L> i don't need all 3 of those transformers, i my remove a couple until i actually need the power
[01:06:27] <Tom_L> pretty sure 1 would be more than adequate for the sherline
[01:07:04] <Tom_L> make the box alot lighter too
[01:07:34] <eeriegeek> It looks like all your signal grounds could be earth grounded.
[01:07:59] <Tom_L> is that bad?
[01:09:41] -!- kwallace2 has quit [Ping timeout: 265 seconds]
[01:09:44] <jfigie> it is pretty typical to tie the secondary common to chassis at some point
[01:10:48] <Tom_L> well, i though it was
[01:11:04] <Tom_L> i'm no expert on machine wiring though
[01:11:43] <jfigie> I think you usually want to control where your return currents are going
[01:11:52] <eeriegeek> Me neither, thought that could cause problems if the earth ground ever picks up voltage.
[01:12:11] <Tom_L> i've always tried to adhere to the star gnd wiring configuration
[01:12:19] <jfigie> but if you have the common tied to chassis in one place you still are in control of where the currents go
[01:14:39] <renesis> earth ground picking up voltage isnt a problem if everything is star grounded to earth ground
[01:14:44] <eeriegeek> I was just looking at all the boards with binder posts into the sheet metal plate thinking that was unusual.. maybe not though
[01:14:59] <renesis> anything other than strict star grounding is a compromise
[01:15:31] <Tom_L> eeriegeek i'm planning to redo that if you're looking at my box
[01:15:54] <Tom_L> picked up some din rail the other day
[01:16:16] <Tom_L> i will isolate all the grounds and tie them at one point

[01:20:34] <jfigie> I think it is a good practice unless you really need a floating supply
[01:20:44] <zeeshan> well don't you earth stuff
[01:20:51] <zeeshan> for shock protection?
[01:21:22] <zeeshan> at 25VDC , wiki says 50% of population has 3250 ohms of resistance
[01:21:26] <zeeshan> (worst case)
[01:21:34] <jfigie> if you have a floating output then the stray capacitance and nearby ac voltages will determene the potential to earth
[01:21:45] <zeeshan> so 8mA

[01:23:06] <zeeshan> the article i read says
[01:23:11] <zeeshan> the voltage breaks down through your skin
[01:23:21] <zeeshan> kinda like why you have a insulator thats rated to 300V

[01:23:22] <zeeshan> vs 600V
[01:23:28] <renesis> the voltage drops across your skin?

[01:23:49] <zeeshan> the higher the voltage

[01:24:46] <zeeshan> their insulation broke down :)
[01:25:19] <renesis> i dunno man i wouldnt really consider skin insulating very well

[01:25:49] <zeeshan> for a floating output "he stray capacitance and nearby ac voltages will determene the potential to earth'
[01:25:51] <renesis> for ESD strikes
[01:26:00] <zeeshan> what is stray capacistance and ac voltages?
[01:26:05] <zeeshan> <- confused
[01:26:24] <renesis> capacitance between any non conducting barriers
[01:26:28] <zeeshan> youre basically saying air gap
[01:26:33] <renesis> anything gap
[01:26:35] <zeeshan> or insulation resistance
[01:26:37] <renesis> that doesnt conduct well
[01:26:40] <zeeshan> ah
[01:26:53] <zeeshan> why is that a bad thing?
[01:27:01] <renesis> capacitance is surface area and distance
[01:27:07] <zeeshan> that just means you'll get shocked by 24vdc
[01:27:10] <zeeshan> which isnt too bad
[01:27:12] <zeeshan> it tingles
[01:27:26] <Jymm> so does 220VAC
[01:27:29] <renesis> i dont really feel anything under 30v
[01:27:42] <zeeshan> honestly the only time i've gotten shocked
[01:27:44] <zeeshan> is by my tig welder

[01:45:02] <zeeshan> i wonder if thats a bad idea
[01:45:11] <zeeshan> cause of the inrush from the solenoids
[01:45:19] <zeeshan> jfigie: i dunno thats what i calculated
[01:45:27] <zeeshan> i calculated many many times
[01:45:42] <zeeshan> most of the circuits are 110V
[01:45:48] <zeeshan> except the spindle drive which is 240
[01:46:15] <jfigie> if you add the max currents from every thing you get a big number. But will that ever really be the case
[01:46:21] <zeeshan> thats true

[01:48:52] <zeeshan> im really hoping when the solenoid triggers
[01:49:01] <zeeshan> or the z-brake 24vdc engages
[01:49:08] <zeeshan> it doesnt effect the voltage drop at the supply.
[01:49:17] <zeeshan> i haven't fully loaded a meanwell 24vdc supply before
[01:49:26] <jfigie> it will take /me a bit to look at that drawing

[01:49:43] <zeeshan> just wanted to show the devices
[01:49:55] <zeeshan> though if you can comment on the 24vdc
[01:49:57] <zeeshan> that would be appreciated :D
[01:50:13] <zeeshan> i feel like the z-brake and hydraulic solenoid
[01:50:17] <zeeshan> need some sort of snubber circuit
[01:50:28] <zeeshan> for the inrush currents
[01:50:49] <zeeshan> otherwise ill blow up the 24vdc supply
[01:53:01] <zeeshan> another person has a similar machine
[01:53:05] <zeeshan> and their circuit diagram looks like this:

[01:53:14] <zeeshan> specifically for the motor brake.
[01:53:37] <zeeshan> theres 3 contacts that activate it
[01:53:56] <zeeshan> im assuming the resistor symbol with a line through it is the brake
[01:54:00] <zeeshan> not sure what the thing on the right is
[01:54:25] <jfigie> OK the motor brake is just a resistor
[01:54:42] <zeeshan> i believe its a 24W resistor.

[01:55:12] <zeeshan> i lied
[01:55:16] <zeeshan> 20W resistor
[01:55:45] <zeeshan> i actually don't know how a motor brake works.
[01:56:04] <zeeshan> the servo is hard to turn when the brake is engaged
[01:56:08] <zeeshan> er.
[01:56:16] <zeeshan> the servo is hard to turn when the brake is not energized
[01:56:20] <zeeshan> but easy to turn when energized
[01:56:48] <jfigie> when the motor is decelerating it generates. The resistor is a load
[01:57:14] <jfigie> when resistor is connected turning the motor forces current thought it
[01:57:42] <jfigie> that is why ii is hard to turn with the brake on

[02:01:08] <zeeshan> ahh
[02:01:13] <zeeshan> kinda the same principal as a braking resistor
[02:01:14] <zeeshan> on a vfd.
[02:01:30] <zeeshan> but in this case, the power source is the servo itself
[02:01:43] <zeeshan> power source of the resistor tha tis
[02:01:59] <zeeshan> hm then how does puttiong 24vdc through it change that?
[02:03:34] <jfigie> I was assuming the 24V was for the relay coil that controls the brake
[02:03:50] <jfigie> where is it on the first schematic
[02:04:00] <zeeshan> yes
[02:04:09] <zeeshan> when that coil is energized
[02:04:23] <zeeshan> current flows through the brake, and it allows the servo motor to spin freely
[02:04:38] <zeeshan> but when there is no current flow through the brake, the servo motor is locked almost
[02:04:44] <zeeshan> which is why its a bit confusing to me.
[02:04:52] <zeeshan> usually you put DC current through an eddy brake
[02:04:55] <zeeshan> to make it function
[02:05:03] <zeeshan> (and cause braking action)
[02:05:06] <zeeshan> not the opposite
[02:07:41] -!- PetefromTn_ has quit [Quit: I'm Outta here!!]
[02:07:46] <jfigie> OK I don't know how you brake works.
[02:08:10] <jfigie> I see the resistor and it only is connected to 24V power
[02:08:20] <jfigie> not the drive
[02:08:38] <jdh> coil for EM brake insteadd
[02:10:00] <jfigie> anyway if you have any inductive loads like your lube motor running from 24V it is good practice to put a diode in the reverse direction across the load to absorb the energy in the inductance when you switch it off
[02:10:22] <jfigie> it will save your relay contacts
[02:10:27] <zeeshan> lube motor is 110VAC
[02:10:36] <jfigie> OK never mind
[02:10:38] <zeeshan> only inductive load i can think of is the hydraulic solenoid
[02:10:54] <zeeshan> the relays have builtin flyback diode
[02:11:03] <zeeshan> but i feel like the sudden rush of current will harm the power supply
[02:11:14] <zeeshan> i've seen people put RC snubber circuits in parallel with the solenoid
[02:11:20] <zeeshan> to lessen the demand on the power supply
[02:11:47] <jfigie> I think a diode would work but it will slow the turn off
[02:12:20] <jfigie> the diode would go across the solenoid
[02:12:43] <zeeshan> youre using the diode to stop back EMF?

[02:13:24] <zeeshan> theres the 3 types i see
[02:13:25] <jfigie> yes like back EMF
[02:13:28] <zeeshan> youre talking about bottom right
[02:13:33] <jfigie> yes
[02:13:53] <jfigie> the snubber will be faster but allow a higher voltage at turn off
[02:14:24] <jfigie> The varistor will also allow faster turn off
[02:14:46] <zeeshan> never used a varistor before
[02:14:49] <zeeshan> must read about it :)
[02:15:06] <jfigie> but I wouldn't use a varistor they have limited life dependent on how hard you make them work

[02:15:42] <jfigie> Some kind of transient suppression diode would be better
[02:15:53] <zeeshan> the diode in the bottom right
[02:16:00] <zeeshan> what is its disadvantage?
[02:16:10] <jfigie> It all depends on how bit the inductance and how large the currents are
[02:16:34] <jfigie> the disadvantage with the diiode in the bottom right is when you try to turn off the coil
[02:16:51] <jfigie> it will take more time for the current to go to zero
[02:17:11] <jfigie> the current will circulate in the diode for a longer time that the other circuits
[02:17:43] <zeeshan> i like the resistor thing
[02:17:45] <zeeshan> cause its easier to wire
[02:17:46] <zeeshan> lol
[02:17:50] <zeeshan> i mean the diode method
[02:18:16] <jfigie> It turn off time is not a concern I think the diode is best
[02:18:38] <zeeshan> well that depends
[02:18:42] <zeeshan> if its a second its not a big deal
[02:18:51] <zeeshan> cause this is the solenoid that disengages the tool clamp
[02:18:57] <zeeshan> but if its 5-6 seconds

[02:20:21] <jfigie> well somewhat. it is the forward voltage and nearly all diode are about the same 0.7V
[02:20:47] <zeeshan> i guess this isn't any different than the diodes that are built in parallel
[02:20:49] <zeeshan> in coils for relays
[02:20:49] <jfigie> the biggest factor is the inductance

[02:21:29] <zeeshan> i unforonately dont have mcuh info on the specs of the hydraulic solenoid
[02:21:31] <jfigie> the diode needs to be able to handle the current that the coil has when energized

[02:21:41] <zeeshan> it draws about 2.5A
[02:21:46] <zeeshan> _i think_

[02:22:59] <jfigie> or even a smaller one. It only gets used for a few hundred milliseconds each time you turn off the solenoid
[02:23:30] <jfigie> Keep the diode close to the coil with short wires

[02:24:26] <jfigie> yep there are always compromises
[02:24:40] <zeeshan> maybe a RC snubber circuit might be better
[02:25:15] <jfigie> the leads to the solenoid are bundled together and that helps

[02:27:43] <zeeshan> impossible to find a manual for this

[02:38:46] <zeeshan> but they had it in the machine.
[02:38:49] <zeeshan> machine controller
[02:38:51] <zeeshan> not at the solenoid
[02:40:15] <jfigie> that looks like a nice machine
[02:40:32] <zeeshan> :D
[02:40:38] <zeeshan> i hope to get it running in a couple weeks
[02:40:44] <zeeshan> just trying to finish up the controller wiring
[02:40:47] <jfigie> 3 motion axis?
[02:41:05] <zeeshan> yes
[02:41:16] <zeeshan> but im converting to 5 axis
[02:42:28] <jfigie> adding rotary axes on the table?
[02:42:32] <zeeshan> yes
[02:42:49] <zeeshan> id like to add a trunion table
[02:43:19] <ssi> this is astounding

[02:43:28] <zeeshan> wtf mate
[02:43:31] <zeeshan> did you hurt yourself
[02:43:36] <ssi> a little
[02:43:40] <zeeshan> how
[02:43:48] <ssi> I stepped in a 4' deep hole in the dark
[02:43:53] <zeeshan> lol
[02:43:54] <zeeshan> wtf
[02:43:58] <zeeshan> random 4' hole?
[02:44:11] <ssi> I was in a ww2 antiaircraft bunker on an island
[02:44:21] <ssi> concrete hole
[02:44:21] <ssi> heh
[02:44:30] <zeeshan> ow
[02:46:48] <jfigie> what was the original controller Heidenhain?
[02:46:55] <zeeshan> jfigie: yes tnc150
[02:47:11] <zeeshan> ssi did you know the amc drives
[02:47:14] <jfigie> By BP had a TNC 151
[02:47:15] <zeeshan> have an internal brake resistor
[02:47:21] <zeeshan> jfigie: haha nice!
[02:47:25] <zeeshan> almsot the exact same controller.
[02:47:27] <ssi> no
[02:47:37] <jfigie> one day I went to turn in on and nothing happened
[02:47:41] <zeeshan> yea i was just looking at the manual
[02:47:43] <zeeshan> http://www.a-m-c.com/download/datasheet/be25a20ac.pdf
[02:47:48] <zeeshan> last comment in the red bullet point
[02:47:50] <zeeshan> on the right
[02:47:54] <zeeshan> "internal brake/shunt resistor"
[02:48:21] <zeeshan> jfigie: theyre stupid expensive to fix
[02:48:25] <ssi> nsice
[02:49:00] <jfigie> yes Hiedenhain said I could get if fixed for $4000.
[02:49:18] <zeeshan> haha
[02:49:27] <zeeshan> only thing worth keeping from that controller
[02:49:29] <zeeshan> is the glass scales
[02:49:31] <jfigie> but being about 20 years old at the time I didn't thing that was a good ides
[02:49:32] <zeeshan> and interpolator boards
[02:49:48] <jfigie> I used the analog boards
[02:49:55] <jfigie> with the original encoders
[02:50:03] <zeeshan> you had scales
[02:50:07] <zeeshan> ?
[02:50:16] <zeeshan> you must have had em
[02:50:17] <jfigie> encoders on the motos=rs
[02:50:20] <jfigie> motors
[02:50:21] <zeeshan> wow
[02:50:25] <zeeshan> i didnt know that controller worked like that

[02:51:17] <zeeshan> wow
[02:51:21] <zeeshan> thats a BIG ass bridgeport
[02:52:42] <zeeshan> http://www.machineability.com/BPseriesII_files/EncoderBd.jpg
[02:52:45] <zeeshan> i really like how you did that.
[02:52:58] <jfigie> thanks
[02:53:06] <zeeshan> howd you connect wires
[02:53:09] <zeeshan> to that red header thing
[02:53:11] <jfigie> I had to do some reverse engineering
[02:53:13] <zeeshan> on the bottom
[02:53:20] <zeeshan> thats a 800$ board
[02:53:21] <zeeshan> btw
[02:53:25] <zeeshan> :D
[02:53:38] <jfigie> I sold the other boards
[02:54:00] <zeeshan> see youre smart
[02:54:01] <zeeshan> you figured it out
[02:54:19] <zeeshan> https://www.flickr.com/photos/128539016@N05/15536189301/
[02:54:27] <zeeshan> i had the same board
[02:54:29] <zeeshan> couldnt figure it out
[02:54:32] <zeeshan> i wish i talked to you before
[02:54:32] <zeeshan> lol
[02:54:37] <jfigie> yes that is just like mine
[02:54:56] <zeeshan> pcw gave me a link to some othe rboards
[02:55:03] <zeeshan> i paid like 60 bux for them
[02:55:28] <zeeshan> https://www.flickr.com/photos/128539016@N05/15188551783/
[02:55:29] <zeeshan> bottom right
[02:55:34] <zeeshan> i like how theyre compact
[02:56:26] <zeeshan> i bought some molex connectors
[02:56:31] <jfigie> yes. I found out about those after mine was done
[02:56:39] <zeeshan> im gonna chop the wire off and plug em in
[02:56:42] <zeeshan> hopefully it works.
[02:56:54] <zeeshan> the board you have
[02:56:59] <zeeshan> did it get powrted by 5V?
[02:57:13] <jfigie> 5 and 15V
[02:57:37] <jfigie> above the board is a 15V and 5 V supply
[02:57:56] <zeeshan> very clean conversion :D
[02:59:40] <jfigie> thank you. the encoders have sine and cosine outputs. and the analog board has comparitors that resolve the sine and cos cycles into smaller increments.

[03:00:14] <jfigie> resolvers
[03:00:16] <ssi> no?
[03:00:40] <ssi> oh I know what you mean
[03:00:49] <zeeshan> i forget why
[03:00:55] <zeeshan> but i went through this a while ago with pcw
[03:00:55] <ssi> resolvers are transformers

[03:01:48] <zeeshan> holy cow
[03:01:58] <ssi> yeah that's insanity
[03:02:05] <ssi> I can't imagine putting that much work into a machine like that
[03:02:07] <zeeshan> he scraped the whole table
[03:02:07] <zeeshan> lol
[03:02:13] <zeeshan> that is hardcore
[03:02:34] <jfigie> I mostly did it for the challenge
[03:02:49] <zeeshan> turned into the hulk after you were done?
[03:02:53] <XXCoder> heys
[03:03:00] <zeeshan> scraping looks labour intensive :)
[03:03:28] <jfigie> I scraped 1/4 of the table by hand then I borrowed a biax from a guy I know
[03:03:28] <ssi> I tried to scrape a piece of durabar flat once
[03:03:29] <ssi> gave up on it :P
[03:03:55] <jfigie> I will never scrap something that big by hand again
[03:04:00] <zeeshan> haha
[03:04:01] <zeeshan> :D
[03:04:03] <jfigie> Biax is the only way to go
[03:04:26] <zeeshan> looks like an expensive tool
[03:04:33] <XXCoder> nahh toothbrush is best ;)
[03:04:43] <zeeshan> lol

[03:05:11] <jfigie> i think
[03:06:15] <zeeshan> man
[03:06:18] <zeeshan> im looking at my old pics
[03:06:24] <zeeshan> i dont see a single diode in the controller.
[03:06:29] <zeeshan> i wonder where the hell it was
[03:08:54] <jfigie> The problem with standard BP series I is that the tables develop a crown over the years form clamping things to the t slots
[03:09:08] <jfigie> the pulling force eventually warps the table
[03:09:41] <jfigie> so a typical machine will be 2 or 3 thousandths high in the middle
[03:13:58] <zeeshan> "table compensation in emc"
[03:13:58] <zeeshan> :D
[03:14:09] <zeeshan> that would be kinda cool
[03:14:11] <zeeshan> probe your table
[03:14:16] <zeeshan> generate a compensation table
[03:14:36] <jfigie> I have seen discussion about that for PC board milling

[03:15:39] <zeeshan> tell me thats a diode.
[03:15:41] * zeeshan looks up
[03:15:54] <zeeshan> son of a.
[03:15:55] <zeeshan> its a rectifier
[03:15:57] <jfigie> those gold things are resistors
[03:16:27] <jfigie> the square things are bridge rectifiers
[03:16:41] <jfigie> which are 4 diodes
[03:16:46] <zeeshan> i know those resistors are the braking resistors
[03:16:53] <zeeshan> for the servos
[03:17:08] <zeeshan> but the cap and the bridge rectifier i think were used for 24vdc control supply
[03:17:25] <jfigie> probably
[03:17:33] <zeeshan> these mystery diodes that were in parallel with the solenoid are no where to be found
[03:17:49] <zeeshan> Tom_itx was right

[03:25:40] <Tom_itx> get some fast ones
[03:25:51] <zeeshan> maybe i can find these diodes locally
[03:25:58] <zeeshan> 5A doesnt seem like a lotta current :P
[03:26:58] <jfigie> fast ones are good but they don't need to be fast
[03:27:18] <jfigie> reverse recovery is not important here
[03:27:38] <zeeshan> ah shit
[03:27:43] <zeeshan> i forgot they need to be 24vdc too
[03:27:49] <zeeshan> i was looking at my zener diode collection
[03:27:53] <zeeshan> theyre all low voltage stuff :/
[03:27:59] <Tom_itx> 24v isn't much
[03:28:18] <zeeshan> i have 1n750A
[03:28:20] <zeeshan> its no good
[03:28:31] <zeeshan> 4.7V, 75mA
[03:29:18] <zeeshan> if i want it to operate at 24vdc
[03:29:23] <zeeshan> i need to get 24vdc zener diode?
[03:29:26] <zeeshan> or slightly more?
[03:29:40] <jfigie> dont use a zener
[03:29:52] <zeeshan> what kind to use :)
[03:29:56] <Tom_itx> not for blocking
[03:30:02] <Tom_itx> standard diode

[03:30:28] <Tom_itx> if it's 24v make sure it will take at least 48v
[03:30:57] <jfigie> even a In4007 would work
[03:31:07] <jfigie> 1 amp continuous 30 A peak
[03:31:16] <jfigie> easy to find
[03:31:41] <jfigie> actually 1n4004
[03:31:51] <zeeshan> http://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/SB540E-G/641-1419-2-ND/2075755
[03:32:42] <zeeshan> i thought we wanted 5A
[03:32:49] <zeeshan> i actually dont know whow much the solenoid consumes
[03:32:54] <zeeshan> i should measur eit.
[03:32:54] <jfigie> that one will never fail in this application
[03:33:07] <Tom_itx> find it in single quantities now
[03:33:09] <zeeshan> i wish the firgging solenoid had a marking on it.
[03:33:15] <zeeshan> about how much it consumes
[03:33:16] <zeeshan> so annoying
[03:33:19] <zeeshan> it says 24vDC thats it
[03:33:28] <jfigie> amp meter?
[03:33:35] <zeeshan> jfigie: so if i have the solenoid in parallel
[03:33:47] <jfigie> with the diode
[03:34:00] <zeeshan> but the parallel branch of the solenoid is about i would say..... 8 feet from where the enclosure it
[03:34:02] <zeeshan> *is
[03:34:06] <zeeshan> so you think that'll cause huge issues?
[03:34:37] <jfigie> the wires to and from are together so I think it will be OK
[03:35:00] <Tom_itx> the diode isn't directly across the coil?
[03:35:05] <zeeshan> Tom_itx: exactly
[03:35:16] <Tom_itx> you may want it as close to that as you can
[03:35:17] <jfigie> the currents will be in opposite directions so the fields will cancel
[03:35:26] <jfigie> in the long wires

[03:36:01] <zeeshan> ps that area is a lot cleaner now :)
[03:36:12] <zeeshan> it had years of crud back there
[03:36:48] <zeeshan> i noticed that this solenoid was demanding on the power supply when i was doing this:

[03:37:08] <Tom_itx> http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/SB5100E-G/641-1421-1-ND/2075785
[03:37:19] <zeeshan> i was shorting the +24vdc wire physically on the power supply rail
[03:37:22] <zeeshan> and saw big sparks :)
[03:37:26] <jfigie> It had long wires before so I don't see why ii shouldn't work now
[03:38:52] <jfigie> you probably saw sparks from the inductive kick back that is what he diode is for.
[03:38:59] <zeeshan> yes
[03:39:14] <zeeshan> i think this is the only loose end in the 24vdc circuits
[03:39:16] <zeeshan> and i can start wiring it

[03:41:20] <Tom_itx> oh go ahead

[03:41:38] <Tom_itx> can't tell you about that
[03:41:49] <Tom_itx> it will either work or get very dark

[03:42:00] <Tom_itx> get a flashlight
[03:42:03] <Tom_itx> first

[03:42:39] <zeeshan> on the load side
[03:42:44] <zeeshan> i forget, ive read about it
[03:42:46] <zeeshan> fak it time to try
[03:42:57] * Tom_itx puts up the blast shield
[03:43:02] <jfigie> Thats ok if it errors
[03:43:04] <zeeshan> only got 14awg wire
[03:43:09] <jfigie> it wont hurt anything

[03:45:18] <zeeshan> and no power will get to the device

[05:01:19] <zeeshan> want to double check this
[05:01:25] <zeeshan> on the mesa7i77
[05:01:33] <zeeshan> when the input has no 24VDC going to it
[05:01:35] <zeeshan> it floats at 0V
[05:01:41] <zeeshan> to make it change state
[05:01:45] <zeeshan> i give it 24VDC right?
[05:01:50] <zeeshan> itll go from 0 to 1 then?
[05:07:41] <renesis> typically you dont really 'float' at a voltage
[05:08:21] <renesis> its 0v or its floating, if its floating, voltage is going to depend on parasitic capacitance and what youre referencing

[15:49:43] <skunkworks> Have fun!
[15:49:53] <Loetmichel> ... something was delivered in time... unbelieveable ;-)
[15:49:57] <skunkworks> the forklift incident wasn't as bad as first thought?
[15:50:27] <Loetmichel> it was, but customer agreed to accept the delivery, pay the invouice and then sort the repairs out next year
[15:50:52] <skunkworks> great!
[15:50:58] <Loetmichel> they just wnted to burn budget (end of year)+
[15:51:04] <skunkworks> things are looking up!
[15:52:03] <Loetmichel> so they are fine with paying the damaged goods and sorting this out next jey, main concern was to burn the budget ;-9

[16:00:24] <ssi> we were talking about that yesterday actually
[16:00:32] <ssi> dan and I order a lot of tooling from Pacific Tool and Gauge
[16:00:39] <ssi> they make rifle chamber reamers and associated tooling
[16:00:56] <ssi> and their system has a pilot bushing on everything, and they make bushings in .0002" steps so you can select the one that fits your bore tightest
[16:01:21] <ssi> we were talking about how they run their shop to hold those tolerances, and it occurred to me that they probably just make a billion of those bushings and sort them

[16:06:46] <ssi> well I had the idea to get that tenth-step plug gage set based on a video I watched
[16:06:50] <ssi> I think it was oxtoolco
[16:07:02] <ssi> about holding a tight bore tolerance by lapping and checking with one of those sets
[16:07:11] <ssi> I got the laps and lapping compound he recommended
[16:07:34] <ssi> but I don't really need the tenth-step gage set, cause I just need to lap it until the thompson shaft that needs to fit the bar just fits hydraulically
[16:08:00] <ssi> I have a .374" reamer, I'm hoping .001 undersize will be enough for heat treating and lapping to size
[16:08:31] * JT-Shop needs to clean off the work table :(

[19:03:26] <jfigie> zeeshan I finally came to realize that your z axis brake is a solenoid operated parking brake. the brake is applied by a spring in the motor and released by applying 24 V to the solenoid.

[19:09:55] <pcw_home> rectifier diodes are cheap in general
[19:10:08] <zeeshan> is there any reason not to oversize it?
[19:10:18] <zeeshan> other than cost
[19:10:24] <zeeshan> and physical size
[19:10:43] <pcw_home> no but no reason either (wiring ease may be an issue)
[19:11:12] <archivist> what use, some will get hot, faster ones run cooler
[19:11:42] <pcw_home> using a 1A diode for 0.866 A very low duty cycle is fine
[19:12:21] <pcw_home> this is flyback diode on a brake solenoid
[19:12:23] <jfigie> IN400X diodes can take much higher peak currents 30 A
[19:12:49] <pcw_home> peak will be~ 0.866 A
[19:12:54] <jfigie> but does anyone even use or sell in4001 @ only 50V?
[19:13:16] <pcw_home> I think we always get 1N4007s
[19:13:23] <jfigie> I would use a higher voltage since they are probalby just as cheap
[19:13:27] <pcw_home> same price
[19:13:52] <jfigie> they are probably all in4007 but just marked differently
[19:14:54] <archivist> if you are brave, make an avalanche tester and see
[19:15:20] <jfigie> not worth the time for diodes that cost a few cents
[19:16:04] <archivist> I used some in an application and had to swiftly replace with schottky
[19:16:31] <jfigie> 1N400X have slow recovery
[19:16:37] <pcw_home> fine for a low rep rate flyback

[19:17:03] <jfigie> if you use them in a SMPS they will act kind of like a short

[19:18:44] <zeeshan> https://www.flickr.com/photos/128539016@N05/16058356335/
[19:18:47] <zeeshan> something seems a bit off here :)
[19:19:10] <zeeshan> shouldnt the diode be rated for ALL the solenoids
[19:19:11] <archivist> we built one of these http://www.collection.archivist.info/archive/DJCPD/PD/2003/2003_07_19_a_flasher/P1010002.JPG and the diode unsoldered themselves, those pics are with the fast diodes
[19:19:28] <zeeshan> when the circuits are parallel like that
[19:19:31] <pcw_home> Unlike a transformer /rectifier power supply a SMPS's main filter capacitor
[19:19:32] <pcw_home> can not absorb power dumped into the power supplies output
[19:19:58] <pcw_home> (so they are not suited to servo motor power supplies for example)
[19:20:08] <zeeshan> well you can put a big ass diode
[19:20:12] <zeeshan> in parallel with the stepper?
[19:20:23] <zeeshan> i mean parallel with the stepper drive
[19:20:52] <pcw_home> The diode is only for one inductor
[19:21:25] <zeeshan> how does the 6a4 know whether to stop the back emf for the brake
[19:21:28] <zeeshan> or the hyd solenoid?
[19:21:32] <zeeshan> since its parallel with both
[19:21:46] <zeeshan> so if both the z-brake and hyd solenoid were activated at the exact same time for example
[19:21:48] <pcw_home> because its across the brake coil
[19:21:53] <jfigie> You wont have the 2 solenoids in parallel
[19:22:11] <jfigie> they are separate circuits
[19:22:24] -!- pandeiro has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[19:22:53] <pcw_home> current only flows in the diode when the brake coil power is turned off
[19:23:16] <pcw_home> (and only for about 100 ms max)
[19:24:37] <zeeshan> i have to again say this..
[19:24:43] <zeeshan> im so glad i didnt do ee.
[19:24:45] <zeeshan> i'd be lost :P
[19:26:13] <pcw_home> on an inductor V=di/dt
[19:26:19] <zeeshan> yes
[19:26:44] <zeeshan> thats what im saying though
[19:26:48] <zeeshan> if both solenoids were activated at the same time
[19:27:11] <pcw_home> they are not on the same circuit

[19:28:42] * zeeshan is slow
[19:28:55] <jfigie> sure but they are controlled independently
[19:29:41] <zeeshan> is it better to put the switch at the +24vdc side or -24vdc
[19:29:44] <zeeshan> i thought it didnt matter?
[19:30:18] <zeeshan> the way you've got it in your schematic makes more sense
[19:30:32] <jfigie> doesn't matter. It is usually done they way I show if you use solid state switches like FETs
[19:32:14] <jfigie> for mechanical contacts it make no difference where you put the switch.

[19:35:54] <pcw_home> (low side switching is common for solid state devices because its easier= cheaper)
[19:36:15] <jfigie> my original point
[19:36:46] <pcw_home> but if you notice, your Maho used high side drivers
[19:37:47] <zeeshan> http://i.imgur.com/bs5lfCA.png
[19:38:08] <zeeshan> blue is common :)
[19:38:39] <jfigie> looks good for hydraulic solenoid
[19:39:22] <zeeshan> btw
[19:39:26] <zeeshan> i found the mystery diode.
[19:39:28] <pcw_home> assuming red is +24V...
[19:39:37] <zeeshan> yes pcw_home
[19:39:49] <zeeshan> the diode was soldered inside a terminal block.
[19:39:54] <pcw_home> if its 120vac you will have fireworks
[19:40:14] <zeeshan> no 120vac near control stuff :)
[19:40:41] <zeeshan> even at eaton, i used to argue with my boss about 120vac control stuff
[19:40:49] <zeeshan> its putting people at unecessary risk
[19:40:54] <zeeshan> like your e-stop button is frigging 120vac
[19:41:03] <zeeshan> you go to press it and somehow manage to break it
[19:41:14] <zeeshan> and somehow become part of the circuit
[19:41:18] <zeeshan> that wouldnt be too good
[19:41:50] <pcw_home> 120VAC is common in industrial control panels (not so common on CNCs thank goodness)
[19:41:57] <zeeshan> yea!
[19:42:02] <zeeshan> its because theyre being cheap asses
[19:42:06] <zeeshan> and dont wanna use a 24vdc supply
[19:42:31] <zeeshan> there were certain customers that would request a control transformer
[19:42:36] <zeeshan> so it'd go from 120vac 24vac.
[19:42:44] <zeeshan> which i guess wouldn't hurt as bad
[19:42:51] -!- sumpfralle has quit [Read error: No route to host]
[19:43:07] <jfigie> 24VDC is becoming more common practice now days for industrial controls
[19:43:31] <jfigie> but still a low of 120 VAC stuff
[19:43:36] <jfigie> lot*
[19:43:40] <pcw_home> DC also allows better timing
[19:43:41] <roycroft> i don't think there's a way i could break the estop button on my brewing control panel that would expose me to 120vac
[19:43:51] <zeeshan> roycroft: oh trust me!
[19:43:53] <zeeshan> it can be done :P
[19:44:02] <roycroft> unless i opened up the panel and broke it from the inside
[19:44:10] <zeeshan> if the nut backs off
[19:44:12] <roycroft> the plunger mechanism that breaks the circuit is plastic
[19:44:13] <zeeshan> and the switch pops out
[19:44:39] <roycroft> the switch is held onto the panel by collar on the outside and two screws on the inside that press into the panel
[19:45:00] <roycroft> i'm not saying that there it's not a hazard with some estop switches
[19:45:13] <zeeshan> im just exagerrating with the e-stop case
[19:45:17] <zeeshan> theres no way that switch will come out
[19:45:19] <zeeshan> of a 22mm hole

[19:46:37] <roycroft> my greater concern is keeping water out of the panel
[19:46:48] <roycroft> i run 250vac/50a through that panel
[19:47:01] <zeeshan> do you know why its in nec and csa code
[19:47:10] <zeeshan> that your main panel has to be at least i think 3 or 4 feet off the ground?
[19:47:34] <roycroft> and it is right next to a brewing system that has up to 150L of hot liquid sloshing around making messes and sometimes spilling on the floor
[19:48:01] <zeeshan> you sir need a nema 4 panel :P
[19:48:18] <roycroft> i think i did a good job building mine
[19:48:23] <zeeshan> i thought it was interesting .. the 3-4ft rule is cause
[19:48:27] <zeeshan> when your basement gets flooded for example
[19:48:28] <roycroft> all the indicators and activators and pids are water-resistant
[19:48:34] <zeeshan> you still have some time. to shut off the electrical stuff
[19:49:05] <roycroft> and i've put a seal around where the panel sits on the enclosure
[19:49:08] <jfigie> roycroft use IP65 or better
[19:49:21] <roycroft> i haven't hosed it down to see if any water gets inside
[19:49:34] <roycroft> but i think that incidental water on the panel would be ok
[19:49:44] <roycroft> and i do have the system on a gfci breaker
[19:50:01] <zeeshan> you know even some indoor places
[19:50:04] <roycroft> honestly, though, i've never gotten a single drop of water on the panel
[19:50:05] <zeeshan> a lot of commercial places..
[19:50:11] <zeeshan> they requre water protection for panels?
[19:50:14] <roycroft> but i still built it to be as safe as i could
[19:50:26] <zeeshan> its cause when the fire sprinklers go off
[19:50:30] <roycroft> sure
[19:50:32] <zeeshan> they dont want an electrical fire
[19:50:35] <zeeshan> i thought that was kinda cool

[20:23:20] <cradek> does the big ssr run the solenoid?
[20:23:50] <andypugh> Loetmichel: With the cask-strength stuff that’s OK as long as the ice cube is made from water from the distillery spring
[20:23:54] <andypugh> cradek: yes
[20:24:21] <cradek> did you have to rewind the solenoid?
[20:24:28] <andypugh> I did, yes.
[20:25:15] <cradek> what's the blue thing marked NA 1.6?
[20:25:38] <andypugh> 1.6A self-resetting fuse
[20:25:42] <cradek> aha
[20:25:47] <andypugh> On reflection, it should have been 1A
[20:25:54] <cradek> the label printer stuff will fall off in a month - I suggest sharpie instead
[20:26:04] <andypugh> Enough to protect the solenoids if the SSR sticks on.
[20:26:24] <cradek> 1.6 is too much?
[20:26:25] <andypugh> It’s special “permanent” label tape
[20:26:39] <cradek> oh maybe mine has just been crap
[20:26:44] <andypugh> The solenoid draws 1.2A. So the 1.6 won’t ever trip

[21:29:45] <renesis> yeah fuck dogs
[21:30:07] <renesis> same dog would prob get confused and tear a face off a kid
[21:30:11] <andypugh> I saw “ * graphic * “ and closed the window.
[21:30:32] <renesis> dogs are like kids with learning disabilities that never grow up, theyre literally just stupid
[21:30:40] <renesis> its not even that graphic
[21:31:58] <jfigie> currently my machine has encoders that produce 2500 counts per rev. This works out real nice because it translates to .001 mm of motion per encoder count. If I replace the encoder with one that is say 2048 counts per rev then I get .001220703125 mm per encoder count. Will this result in any kind of round off errors that accumulate after a lot of time or motion?
[21:34:39] <andypugh> jfigie: No. The encoder counts are kept as an integer, and divided as-required.
[21:35:25] <andypugh> The axis encoders will only count up and down by the table travels anyway.
[21:36:22] <andypugh> You can, in theory, accumulate encoder mis-counts over time with quadrature encoders. But you don’t need to worry about rounding errors.
[21:36:52] <andypugh> But do put in a lot of significant digits in the INI file.

[21:40:21] -!- sumpfralle1 has quit [Quit: Leaving.]
[21:40:33] <jfigie> next question if I have an absolute encoder that works as an quadrature encoder but also has a serial channel to get the abs position. how difficult is it to add something that will read the position, load the encoder count register and then call the axis homed at startup?
[21:41:19] <andypugh> There is some support for absolute encoders on the Mesa cards.
[21:41:52] <andypugh> But if you mean that you want to read serial data first, then switch to quadrature mode, then the answer would be “I don’t know” :-)
[21:42:50] <jfigie> I think I want to read the position first because the serial mode is not fast enough.
[21:43:28] <andypugh> In theory you could add a button that called a Python module that uses Pyserial to get the position, and then issued an MDI-G-code command (G10) to set the absolute axis position.
[21:44:30] <jfigie> Pyserial talks over the RS-232 port I assume?
[21:44:41] <andypugh> I assume so, I have never tried it.
[21:45:17] <t12_> pyserial speaks to rs232 ports yeah
[21:45:19] <t12_> or things like them
[21:45:23] <jfigie> I would need to convert the full duplex serial port to 1/2 duplex RS-485
[21:45:24] <t12_> do they really mean rs232
[21:45:27] <t12_> when they say serial
[21:46:21] -!- spatialbrew has quit [Quit: http://quassel-irc.org - Chat comfortably. Anywhere.]
[21:46:34] <andypugh> Good question, the servos that use the same wires for serial and quadrature tend to use their own format.
[21:46:47] <jfigie> I would need to multiplex all of the axis or else I need a serial port per axis
[21:47:04] <t12_> also consider that the transmission rate
[21:47:07] <t12_> may be totally nonstandard
[21:47:10] <t12_> like in the megabits/sec

[21:52:39] <jfigie> OK I want to use a Hiperface encoder, it is bidirectional asynchronous 38.4 K baud so I think that will work with a serial port. I just need to have a direction control for the transceiver
[21:53:47] <jfigie> The first step will be to see if I can talk to the encoder using something like Pyserial.

[21:57:12] <jfigie> If I want to use DC servomotors with no tachometers, are there any performance issues by bringing the velocity loop into HAL and let linuxcnc close the V loop based on the delta position from the encoder count register?

[22:03:12] <andypugh> Yes. PCW seems to suggest that 4kHz is a lot better than 1kHz if the PC can handle it.
[22:03:39] <jfigie> The MB that I am planning on using has about 8uSec jitter for the 25used and 1 msec threads using latency-test

[22:03:56] <andypugh> You should be able to go faster than 1kHz then.
[22:04:09] <jfigie> So I could run at 4 KHz
[22:04:31] <andypugh> Actually, ignore that statement. Latency has not a lot to do with how fast you can run the servo thread.
[22:04:39] <jfigie> right
[22:05:02] <andypugh> Are you counting encoder pulses in software?
[22:05:13] <jfigie> I was just going to ask how you determine the amount of processing time
[22:05:27] <jfigie> No I plan on using mesa cards to count encoder
[22:05:33] <andypugh> You might find that you are limited by base-thread rate to quite modest speeds at 2500 counts.
[22:06:05] <andypugh> I think that the Mesa cards have a high-quality velocity output, based on encoder-edge timestamps.
