Is it possible to add a delay to the reset routine. I am using G320's and they have a delay once enabled. I'd like the system to wait for a few seconds to allow the drivers to come ready before the software will respond. Currently if I reset and immediatly jog the machine it will move the software DRO's but not the machine.

Do your drives have an Enabled signal that they can send to Mach when they are ready?

They share the same line as the reset. It has been covered here before. Without adding a complicated curcuit there is no way to easily do this. Even then it only provides limit type stops to Mach. Does not fix the problem that as soon as I hit reset Mach thinks it can move the machine. At least I haven't seen an input option that will do this in Mach.

Seems like a simple thing to do to me. The reset function is built in however and not a macro I can edit. I suppose I could replace the standard Reset button with a custom one that does my delay and then does the built in reset. Anyone ever do this? How do I call the built in reset function?

I guess what I'd realy like to see is a gerneral setup screen option for reset delay. Maybe add that to the want list for Mach.

I only asked a simple question because I had an idea how you might be able to do it, your reply was not very helpful to me so I will let someone else help out.

I played around with different options with marcos. The problem is that virtually nothing works when the system is in Estop. So I can't just delay the reset button function or toggle other output pins.

What I really need is for the system to go ahead and do the reset but then freeze the machine for 5 sec. Is there a program function that will freeze the machine so it can not be jogged? Also the job start would need to be inhibitted I guess but I can address that seperate.

Ok I found the Enable/Disable X-C Toggle button commands that do what I needed. I created a button to disable all the axes and wait 5 sec and then enable them. The plan is to call this button or a macro from a Brain triggered on the Enable 1 output.

I can't figure out how to call the user button or a macro from a brain. Any help there? I'll keep reading if not.

OK Scrap the Macro - I've got a brain that will do everything I need it to do.
