    • Animation:

      • PLC: Programable Logic Controller

        • Pinout & LIteracy in PLC Software Code

        • Inputs / Outputs

          • Sensors, Switches, Solenoids, Relays

          • Motors

          • Serial RS232 / RS485

      • VFD = Pinout, Literacy & Avoid all High Voltage Failures

  • Platforms:

    • Mitsubishi:

    • Siemens:

    • MESA Electronics:

        • Least Expensive & Exclusive Hardware & Software

          • fabulous quality & design suitable for automation

        • Compatibility of Un-Certified Employees, Hardware & Software

          • No Versioning & Reduancy

            • When the Engineer retires, the next engineer

              • MUST BE A LINUXCNC MESA ENGINEER

LinuxCNC: 

  • Backups of Linux OS Required Settings for easy Fresh OS Install:
    • LAN Networking with Windows:
      • smb.conf
      • etc.fstab
      • credential file
    •  LinuxCNC
      • Configuration Files
    • GPU & Display
      • Multi-Monitors & USB can be troublesome

MESA Electronics: 

  • Offers Service of Mesa PLC Diagnostic & Repair
  • Configuring the MESA Firmware for Specific CNC Goals
    • Edit Logical Code in a Text Document
  • Forum of MESA on LinuxCNC is Very Responsive attending to questions effectivley. 
  • Diagnostics:
    • Use 5V LED to Test Circuits
    • Wires & Connectors
      • Pinout Color Code
        • Continuity

VFD:

  • Literacy with VFD Instruction Manual
    • CAUTION:
      • VFD Firmware does not have Failsafe Logic
        • If Settings are Wrong
          • It IS 220V LIVE & CAN BLOWUP !
    • Pinout
      • to Function
        • to Button
        • to Panel
        • of Logic
          • to Function
          • to Pinout
  • Goal:
    • RPM on VFD Display Panel with CNC Operator GUI Control of Spindle
      • Start, Stop, RPM, Accelerate, Decelerate
    • Advanced Literacy & Logic with VFD Firmware is of the most difficult contingencies in the entire Machine.
