3 Setup details.
Using
your rotary encoder as a jog control through your Mach3 software
Your MPG will need a
+5Vdc power supply to power it, it will also need 2 x spare pins on your
breakout board to connect the A and B phases of the rotary encoder.
In the example
described here we assume you have a suitable power supply inside your CNC
machine control box. If your Control box is from Rhonmac-cnc it has a +5Vdc
supply readily available.
We are using pin
number 10 for phase A and pin number 11 for phase B for this example.
Find a suitable
mounting point for your encoder on your controller enclosure and mount using the
3 studs, nuts and washes at the rear of the encoder.
Step
1
Configure
Ports and Pins.
Select the ports and pins dialog box,
Select
the encoders/MPG tab.
Enable MPG#1 by
clicking the check box, the red cross turns into a green tick, enter the
information in the other check boxes as highlighted below. Once completed click
apply to enable the change in settings.
Double
check your settings.
Step
2
Wire
up phase A and B.
Earlier we said we
were going to use pin number 10 for phase A and pin number 11 for phase B. These
wire up to the breakout board if using a Rhonmac-cnc breakout board No Rm2-25DB,
you can wire directly to the screw
terminals number 10 for phase A and number 11 for phase B. wire directly to the
rotary encoder.
Use a 2
way bulkhead socket and plug for safe wiring through the control box
enclosure.
Step
3
Connect
the ground and +5Vdc supply.
Connect the power
Ground (0V) to any of the No 25 pins on the breakout board, there are plenty on
the Rm2-25DB breakout board.
Connect the power lead
to the +5Vdc power supply.
Time to test
everything out. Check out your Mach3 settings and then your wiring if all is ok
then switch on.
Assuming all is ok
then select the axis you are going to move with the encoder and try it, check
the dial movement against the Mach3 DRO to check the actual axis movement for
each detent moved on the encoder dial. If the actual movement is not what you
have expected experiment with the Counts /unit setting in the Encoder/MPG
settings.
