Appendix A. : New functions and bug fixes:
- Initial release for international sales start.
Functions were missing in previous version and were added in this release:
Lathe spindle speed syncronisation with the index pulse.
5kHz laser mode charge pump PWM.
Bug fixes in this release:
In the home settings in some cases the output bits numbers got corrupted. Bug fixed.
Functions were missing in previous version and were added in this release:
Software limits handling.
Bug fixes in this release:
FTDI chip errorous PC sleep case handling for the Rev.3.0 boards only. Bug fixed.
Note: This bug was fixed before the boards got released for sales.
Functions were missing in previous version and were added in this release:
1.) Handling all MPGs and encoders in Mach3.(maximum 2pcs one time.)
Bug fixes in this release:
External manual MPG pulse generator missing pulses. Bug fixed.
Bug fixes in this release:
Direction output not working correctly for the spindle control if the spindle set in PWM output control
On spindle on/off switching the controller not waiting the set time period, switching the output
If the limit and home switch input pin configuration is the same then the home function may not function
properly in some cases. Bug fixed.
Bug fixes in this release:
The THC inputs handling for plasma cutters the direction changes not working correctly. Bug fixed.
"Allow THC UP/DOWN Control event if not in THC Mode" setable in the "Port & Pins / Mill Option” function
Bug fixes in this release:
1.) When probing with G31 the measurement value, Var 2002 parameter not passed through to Mach3
correctly which could lead getting uncorrect measurement value. Bug fixed.
Functions were missing in previous version and were added in this release:
Slow zones handling in working area implemented.
Bug fixes in this release:
When homing the acceleration was not working as set in the motor tuning in Mach3, this function was
corrected and now working with the set correct acceleration profiles. Bug fixed
When straight probing (G31) the decceleration was not working correctly, now using the set decceleration
In the soft limits settings the offsets were not counted in, now the soft limits are based on the machine
coordinates with the offsets also counted in. Bug fixed.
Persistent DRO function was not working and Mach3 was not saving the coordinates after closing and
restarting Mach3 the coordinates were all zero. Now these saves and reloads are done as nessessary. Bug
In some newest release of Mach3 after feed holding the program continue execution was only possible if
pressing stop and after start. This is now working correctly, no need to press the stop button anymore. Bug
Functions were missing in previous version and were added in this release:
Internal communication protocol was reworked for even more robustness.
2.) Selectable “topmost” property on the UC100 I/O monitor window.
Bug fixes in this release:
1.) Spindle PWM missing some pulses when backlash compensation is set and when backlash compensation
movement is in progress. Bug fixed.
G31 straight probing not working other than with pin10. input, now it works with all input pins. Bug fixed.
Update in the automatic installer:
Windows 7 x64 support was added, now the installer works also on 64 bit Operating Systems.
