I have an application where it would be helpful to have two separate quadrature HSC channels counting from the same encoder input.

One counter would maintain absolute position and the other an incremental resetting counter. I could reset either without effecting the other.

I am thinking just putting the A/B signals into pins 1&2 for HSC1 and jumpering the inputs from HSC1 to the inputs of HSC2.

Any problem with this?

Thanks.

I appreciate the information.

I understand the STEPMOVE command computes the velocity profile for a move based on the STEPSPEED command last given before the STEPMOVE comand is encountered.

Once the STEPMOVE is executing and is at full velocity , STEPSPEED can be changed repeatedly during the STEPMOVE. If STEPSPEED is sent after the move has started in either the Accel or decel portions of the move the new STEPSPEED will be ignored.

Will it cause any problems with the move if STEPSPEED is sent during the Accel or Decel portions of the move? If so what are the problems?

Is their a flag somewhere that can be read to indicate a STEPMOVE is in the Accel/Decel portion (0) or is now in the maximum velocity portion (1) of a move?

Thanks

I installed the up date and it looks good so far.

Thanks for getting this done rapidly.

Good info Gary. The problem is worse than I thought. Triangle has acted rapidly in the past to fix problems that are hurting us in project development.

I trust they will rise to the challenge and fix this issue or at the least give us a schedule on an improved release.

I have done a similar work around today which gets it done, but can be very dicey if you copy and paste just a bit off or you get hung up half way through the process!  

I think Triangle updating the software to run on a current Java is critical for the product line future for me.

Thanks

No response from Triangle on this yet.

I was able to get it going by doing full removal of Java and Tri software from the PC, using CC cleaner to remove all Triangle and Java traces and doing clean install from the Internet. Now it is working.

Gary Dickerson gave the suggestion to use CC Cleaner and remove all old Tri software along with Java when he has had similar Tri software issues -Thanks Gary!!

Fixed it. Shortcut on desktop was from older version. Created new shortcut and now it works.

I am installing TL7 TL6 software onto a new PC. When I try to start the software it gives me the dialog box to pic either TL6 or TL7 and if I pick either it gives me Unhandled exception error and does not load. PC is Windows 7 64 and java is 1.4.2_19

Ideas?

If I have several contacts on a single rung and I wish to add a single contact that "bridges" or parallels the series contacts (effectively removing the series contact state from the rung) . I don't seem to be able to find the method for creating such a contact or editing a contact to get this result.

Thanks
