I have been successful in getting almost all functions of my EMCO C5 converted lathe working with EMC2 - spindle speed control and speed feedback, auto tool changer, MPG, etc., including some ladder programming. However, I am stuck at the moment with the set up for threading. The G33 and G76 codes do not work. In program mode EMC stops dead before these two commands - with no error message.
I have only one pulse per rev feedback from the spindle, so the encoder component is set up using only Phase A as input. Index is not used. My speed feedback converted to rpm is correct. The motion.spindle-at-speed and motion.spindle-revs data seems correct, but it is not clear to me how the latter is used. I cannot figure out the use of motion.spindle-index-enable and encoder.n.index-enable and encoder.n.position related data (the reference to canonical interface on page 91 is not helpful (not in Hal manual)). The use of encoder.n.position-interpolated is also not clear. Can someone please explain what signals and data is needed for G33 and G76 to work and how they fit together. The examples I could find for lathe configs are not sufficient for me to unravel this information.
