Configure Motion Controller

Please refer to your motion controller's documentation to:

• Establish the network connection to the MachPro computer
• Connect and configure I/O 
• Connect and configure drives
• Connect and configure the spindle
• Calibrate the axes
• Establish machine zero
• Configure soft limits
• Calibrate the Spindle

Some of these configuration steps also need integration with the MachPro software. 

Configure the Dedicated Network Interface

The motion controller connects to the control computer through an IP Ethernet connection, and we recommend you use static IP addresses for both the computer and the motion controller.

Follow the Microsoft guide below to manually set a static IP address on the computer:
 Microsoft Instructions: Manually Configure IPv4 Settings Scroll to the bottom and expand the section titled “To specify IPv4 settings manually.”

Then perform the following steps to use the MachLabs default settings:

1. Set IP address to: 192.168.208.10

2. Set Subnet mask to: 255.255.255.0

3. Save the settings and close the window.

4. Connect to the dedicated network port on the control computer.
