Function Introduction
1.Control each axis motion by rotation.
2.Choose controlled axis (X, Y, Z, A) via band switch.
3.Choose control mode by band switch (STEP and Velocity)
All the ma nual control supplied by Mach3 is realized by the keyboard. ModS elect ronic handwheel control the motor motion at each axis through the rotation of rotary encoder. When you use the mode of Velocity, the movement direction of each axis will be controlled by the direction of encoder wheel you rocked, while the moving speed of each axis will be determined by your rocking speed of wheel. Such operation looks like much more approaching to our custom. If you choose to use STEP mode, it mea ns that a precise moving mode will be entered. When you choose 0.01gear, the wheel will turn a grid, and the controller axis will move 0.01 toward the direction you turned. When you choose 0.1gear, the wheel will turn a grid, and the controlled axis will change 0.1. Followed by analogy, 1 gear can control the change of 1.
Installation Installation settings
This kind of electronic handwheel is communicated through Modbus agreement and Mach3, connected with computer via RS232 and take voltage by USB. As a friendly Modbus interface was supplied by Mach3, there’s no need to install any other drivers when using ModS electronic handwheel.
Before use, ModS serial port should be connected with the serial of computer (COM port) and the fixed screw need to be fastened at first. Next connect the USB of ModS with computer and run Mach3 (3.04).
After above operations carried out, the following dialog box will be come out, tick the box before the item of “ModbusInput Output Support”.
Press“Apply”before quit, so that make sure yoursettings are saved by Mach3
Modbus Control setup
If there are two ports on your computer, please set the port number as 1 or 2
Note: Do not change the buttons of "Config" and "Test ModBus", to avoid any changes.
