This document describes how to copy a Mach4 folder from one machine to another machine. This is useful when you are powering up a similar machine to one you've done previously. It is also used for installing a replacement control.  Prerequisites: Mach4/MachMo...

Script Editor Mach4 includes a built in script editor.  The editor can be found in the ‘Operator’ menu as ‘Edit/Debug Scripts’ (see Figure 2-1).  Selecting ‘Edit/Debut Scripts’ will open a window to select the script to be edited.  By default the ‘Macros’ fol...

Introduction The purpose of this manual is to teach the basics of scripting in Mach4 using the Lua interface.  Scripts add functionality to Mach4 by providing the user with an interface to create custom M codes, macros to control tool changers and other custo...

Examples The following examples are to provide some guidance on the creation of scripts.  They are not specific to any one machine and are not guaranteed to work on any machine. Using Signals Signals are internal triggers for events in Mach4.  They can be t...

Commands The system has many packaged functions called commands. These commands can perform a variety of actions, such as turning on the spindle or zeroing an axis. All commands have an action associated with them. Some actions also have a feedback associated...

Overview The data collector plugin allows you to track the state of a signal between multiple runs of Mach4. For example, you can fault out after 1000 hours of the spindle running.  To reset from a fault, press the user button on the screen. That will make i...

This manual will walk you through setting up out of band Jogging with RapidPath  First you will need to add a virtual motor to the RapidPath plug-in Service>Maintenance>Motion Controller   Next type "Virtual" into the search bar and set the desired num...

This only applies to master and slave axes on a gantry. If you are trying to align the tables on a dual table router, use the home offsets in the Mach4 control | Homing / Soft Limits tab. To align the gantry, the master and slave axes need to home, then the s...
