Hello ytliu,

Are you planning to release DDCSV software as an open source?

hi,Lukasz
Sorry, we have no plans for open source yet.

Ver: 2018-07-27-97 Modification:
1. Increase Russian support,configure #1 (language setting) to 2 so that the Russian configuration file (rus) will be loaded at startup. The rus file in the current installation package is not in Russian. If necessary, please translate it yourself.

Ver:2018-07-30-98 Description:
1. Add the user-defined system parameter area (#2000-#2499). After the user configures it in the chs or eng file, the parameter value can be set on the configuration page,and can be called by the macro variable in the machining program.

The chs or eng file configs the user-defined system parameters.
for example:#2000 -t1 -s1"Cutter diameter" -s2"in" -m9 -min=0.000 -max=9.000

#n n is the parameter number (2000-2499)
-t is used to specify the type of parameter, t0 is an integer, t1 is a real number, and t2 is a selection type
-s1 defines the name of the parameter
-s2 defines the parameter unit
-m parameter group, m0 that the parameters in the parameter configuration page does not show
-min minimum parameter
-max maximum parameter
-i The text of the relevant entry is configured through it when the parameter type is selection type

2. Support user-defined probe mode. When #68 is set to mode 3, defprobe.nc will be called to perform probe. Users can write defprobe.nc according to actual situation.


The defprobe.nc in the installation package is written according to the requirements of Bill Blades. requirements are as follows:
Here's what I need it to do after setting an arbitrary zero in the approximate center of my tool plate. This is based on a .125" cutter diameter:

1. Set Z zero. My tool plate is .250 thick, so the Z axis will come to rest at .350 (this is exactly how my current probe function works).

2. Move to X-1.25

3. Move to Z-.25 (this puts the end of the tool .500 below the surface of my tool plate)

4. Probe X+ and zero. Then the cutter is touching the edge of my tool, it is at X-.3125 (.250 tool + .0625 half cutter dia.). I don't know if this can be done by the controller, or if the X axis physically needs to move to its desired zero location before it can zero.

5. Moves in - direction .050

6. Move to Z.350

7. Move to X.750 (center of tool plate)

8. Move to Y-1.250, wash, rinse, repeat for Y axis.

9. Move to final location of X0.00, Y0.00, Z.350 after probing.

Before performing the probe, please set the #2000-#2011 parameters on the parameter page. In order to meet the requirements of Bill Blades, the parameters are set as follows:
#2000 Cutter diameter:0.125
#2001 Tool plate thick for X:0.25
#2002 Tool plate thick for Y:0.25
#2003 Tool plate thick for Z:0.25
#2004 X position before X-axis probed:-1.25
#2005 Y position before Y-axis probed:-1.25
#2006 Z position before X(Y)-axis probed:-0.25
#2007 Back distance when the tool touches the X-axis edge:0.05
#2008 Back distance when the tool touches the Y-axis edge:0.05
#2009 Back distance when the tool touches the Z-axis edge:0.1
#2010 center of tool plate:0.75
#2011 Probe feedrate：20

I finished the preliminary translation.
Surely, there are a lot of mistakes in it :-)
Those setting ...

Now increase the number of characters displayed on the main page. When you translate, consider the length of the string, otherwise it may exceed the display area of the UI Widgets.
#16 is used to set the currently selected coordinate system. Since the coordinate system selection can be performed on the main page, the #16 parameter can be hidden.

#16 -t2 -s1"Текущая система координат" -m0 -min=1.000 -max=6.000 -i0"G53" -i1"G54" -i2"G55" -i3"G56" -i4"G57" -i5"G58" -i6"G59"


Later, for those parameters that are not easy to understand, I will try to explain to you.

DDCSV 1.1 PLC CNC CONTROLLER team member Alexei Koh redesigned defprobe.nc to make corner search more flexible. Thanks to Alexei Koh for his great work.

The video for the explanation:https://youtu.be/redy2ZoETdk，This video was provided by Alexei Koh.

the new version adds JOG distance configuration, you can set it by #2020-#2023.

In addition, the Russian language pack has been added to the new version, You can set the #1 parameter to 3 to use it. Thanks to Nikolay81 for the great work done for it.

Due to accuracy of the fpga speed planning module (currently using 24-bit accuracy), the first problem you mentioned will occur when the difference between the manual start acceleration and the stop acceleration is too large. You can try to make the stop acceleration smaller.

The second problem you mentioned should be caused by defect in your controller keyboard hardware.

# 109 "M Bus IO default status":
DDCSV through RS232 protocol bus IO expansion(#109=1)

Output data packet 7 bytes, including three parts:
1. Data packet header 2 bytes "0x90 0xeb"
2. Output IO word 4 bytes, 0 bit -31 bit are mapped to # 1032- # 1063 macro variables
3. the checksum, XOR result of the first 6 bytes

Input data packet 7 bytes, including three parts:
1. Data packet header 2 bytes "0x90 0xeb"
2. Input IO words 4 bytes, 0 bit -31 bit are mapped to # 1000- # 1031 macro variables
3. the checksum, XOR result of the first 6 bytes

Bus output IO signal Instructions for use:
Change the IO status by assigning the relevant macro IO bus output
Example:
# 1032 = 1; set bus IO channel 0 to logic '1'

Bus input IO signal instructions:
M100 bus input IO instruction
#1100 Bus input IO channel number
#1101 Bus input IO expectations value

# 5 "minimum log radius of 4axis machining":
In four-axis machining, the DDCSV system provides a four-axis speed optimization algorithm that uses feed rate F to control the cutting line speed. To do this, we first need to know the structure of the machine (defined by #6, if #6=3, no speed optimization will be performed).

After using the optimization algorithm, the closer the tool tip is to the center of the rotary axis, the greater the actual rotational speed of the A-axis, so we designed the #5 parameter to limit it.

The problem with the hang has remained.
1. Run the program.

Your analysis is correct, there are some conflicts in MPG mode.

In MPG mode, if the system is in FRO state, press the start button at this time, FRO will be set to 0, which will cause the maching to be in a pause state (you said the frozen state), at this time you can adjust the FRO by handwheel Value to resume maching.
