I have a question regarding Argon regarding changing operating modes.
My hardware configuration:
-Argon
-1kw Mige AC servo
-(unknown firmware version)
I will be using the 1kw AC servo to drive the spindle on my lathe. I also need to use as a rotary “C” axis.
Control will be step/dir via Mach3 software.
I understand I want to use the Argon in Velocity mode to turn the spindle at target RPM.
But then, after coming to a stop, I want to change the Argon control mode to Position and be able to rotate the spindle as a “C” axis.
Can the Argon be changed modes like this from an external input pin?
If not, I assume this can still be accomplished by keeping the Argon in Position mode. What settings should be used to drive the 1kw servo to perform as a spindle and “C” Axis?
Thanks!
