I have not figured out the "Pendant mode" or the "let pokeys handle MPG jogging" toggles yet - they did not seem to have an affect. I was also getting a LAN disconnected balloon from Windows, which is probably the least encouraging thing I could see. Maybe it was a delayed result but it seemed inconsistent anyway. Sometimes when I switch the MPG axis to off, the axis will zero. Maybe setting up the e-stop to NC will enable those features and also stop random e-stop/limit switch triggers, but there shouldn't be much noise just sitting on the table away from the PC with nothing else connected.Īn odd thing is, when an MPG axis is enabled I cannot zero the DRO. This might be the reason that I am not able to access the Auto button and MPG div fields (grayed out). I had to switch the reset pin function from Reset to Enable Axis (something like that), and I have the e-stop inverted and running open circuit. Since my pendant does not have the redundant "enable" button nor an e-stop, I had to modify some of the setting, and this might be causing some of my problems: Now I have the pendant switching the jog mode on/off by using the axis selector it switches the increment using the increment knob, and it will jog the selected axis with the encoder. I found this manual helped a lot more (which looks like one of his, but not found on his site!?): Pokeys manual does not get into much of any detail, and even his pendant page provides very little. I only tested a couple of the motor ports and the limit switches. The PoKeys57CNC came in and the basic configuration was complete on a backup PC.
