Power failure and resurrection on a CNC machine

[infiniteloop]

@nightowl999 said in Power failure and resurrection on a CNC machine:

I was under the impression this file was overwritten with a new one every time there was a 'power failure', and it wasn't user-editable?

Your first impression is correct. Whether resurrect.g is write-protected or not? Can't tell you as I currently have no such file at hand …

Nevertheless, here's the first lesson - by the way, it demonstrates how M911 generates resurrect.g, up to the fact that the generated file will always be overwritten when we call M98 P"MWriter.g" again

; MWriter aka macro writer
; Creates the macro "HelloWorld.g" on the SD card which in turn can be executed
; Requirements: RRF v3.4
 
; To keep things simple, we use the /sys directory - which makes sense as any recovery macros should live in there.
; For development and tests, I use DWC, mainly with the "System" tab
 
var fName = "HelloWorld.g"			; this is the filename for the macro to create
 
 
; Here, we create the file - note the use of a single ">" with echo: this overwrites any existing file with this name.
echo >{var.fName} "; HelloWorld.g"
; with ">>", echo appends something to the now existing file:
echo >>{var.fName} "; Macro file created by macro ""MWriter.g"""	; we always write strings - note how to put a string into it (""MWriter.g"")
echo >>{var.fName} ""												; empty line for better readability
echo >>{var.fName} "M291 S2 R""Hello World"" P""Moin Moin"""		; message box, blocking (S2), with title (R) and message (P), localized :-)
echo >>{var.fName} ""
echo >>{var.fName} ";EOF"											; ... old habit of mine
 
;EOF																; same habit ...
 

Oh, and thanks for your resurrect.g - I'll try to study it. Did you make a copy and added comments?

Yes, here it is, but I'm not sure if I've done it correctly...

Thx, and well done! From a first glance, I get the impression that this resurrect.g is missing all the things which are specific to CNC routers.

Could you please try to edit this commented version and insert comment lines with the CNC specific commands you miss? Think carefully, the sequence of commands is essential, else you can wreck your machine in the worst case.

With this "script" ready, we can see if the required additions can be called from resurrect-prologue.g or if we have to write the whole M911 stuff ourselves.

@infiniteloop Whew, let's see how this goes...

Before the power failure happens, I know where the spindle information is held, as I use that in my pause.g (which includes a test M28/M29 script) and resume.g files. These may help, so I've added them below...

[infiniteloop]

@nightowl999 Some remarks to your resurrect.g:

1. G60 S1 - this saves the current coordinate values in the memory slot which is later referred to from M24 (resume print). For this to work, the coordinates must have been set before. That’s the G92 line, in front of G60.
2. M486 S-1 - the context is object cancellation, but I don’t quite understand the meaning. In my resurrect.g, the parameter was T-1, which is not documented but could have meant something like „don’t cancel objects“.
3. G1 F2500.0 P0 - this one sets the feed rate, but the P0 is special - from the GCode Reference: „Pnnnn (supported only in some builds of RepRapFirmware)“. I once figured out the port bits (IOBITS), but I have no guess whether P0 is used by our RRF or simply ignored.

All of the other entries have a potential meaning with 3D printers, depending on the setup, but I have not the faintest idea which entries you really need for your mill: do you heat a nozzle, use multiple coordinate systems or do you extrude something? OK, just see your latest post - I’ll go through that in a minute … [contemplating] …

@nightowl999 After some contemplation, I commented your commented resurrect.g:

Fine. That's less work than needed for a 3D Printer to recover properly.

In the next step, I have to figure out what trick you apply to manage your spindle. Was a good idea to add your pause/resume scripts to your post

[Nightowl]

@infiniteloop Thank you

In response to your comments, here are mine...

Line 13 - M3 would stop the spindle spinning
Line 19 - I know where they are, but at what point can the values be 'recovered' and saved
Line 52 - Not in config.g, but I CAN find G3 in the toolpath (gcode) files (e.g. "G3X31.755Y28.580I3.175J0.000" from a Vectric CAD file (these are G2 - clockwise, and G3 - counterclockwise, arc movements)
Line 60 - OK, understood
Line 61 - I think movement is controlled by G1 X*Y*X*  with speed defined with F*, e.g. G1X49.124Y56.098F3683.0
Line 64 - No, there are no extruders
 

[infiniteloop]

@nightowl999 OK, now I have edited (faked) a resurrect.g, easy to read as it is really short. I've reflected some of your comments…

With the G0 movements, formerly known as line 61, you misunderstand my concerns: It's not the syntax, but what path is safe for these head moves on a CNC? Are you fine with the movements as they are done in resurrect.g?

So, your homework for now: carefully check my faked resurrect.g, especially with regard to the position of the M3 command: shall the spindle start that early in the recovery process?

[infiniteloop]

@nightowl999 In case you can put the M3 before resurrect.g, the solution is pretty simple: Here is a macro which just stores the spindle speed in the file "RestoreSpindleSpeed.g", which in turn can be called from your resurrect-prologue.g. The only thing left to figure out is how to insert the call of "SaveSpindleSpeed.g" into the M911 command.

; SaveSpindleSpeed.g
; Macro to store the actual spindle speed (RPM) at the time this is called
; To restore the saved datum, call the macro "RestoreSpindleSpeed.g".
; Requires RRF 3.4 and a CNC configuration with valid spindles[0] entry in the object model
 
var fName = "RestoreSpindleSpeed.g"
 
echo >{var.fName} "; "^var.fName
echo >>{var.fName} "; Spindle speed saved from running """^{job.file.fileName}^""" CNC file"
echo >>{var.fName} ""
echo >>{var.fName} "M3 S"^{spindles[0].active}

@infiniteloop said in Power failure and resurrection on a CNC machine:

So, your homework for now

It's a very long time since I've had homework!

With regard to the G0 movements, I need to ask a question. If the XYZ values are saved when the power loss workflow starts (based on the M911), then these should be fine in this circumstance, but would change when overwritten by the next power loss event. Have I got that right?

It was suggested to me that the spindle should start before the axes move, as it would then cut its way through an obstruction, rather than not and end up it breaking and damaging the stock.

The most important axis save is the Z axis. With a power failure X and Y can physically stay where they are, although I appreciate their respective 3 dimensional locations must be saved as the axes must be re-homed after restarting.

Note: I get that a 3D printer should not re-lay material a second time following restart, but this is not an issue for the CNC. As the part to be cut has already been cut, it will only cut air.

Perfectly!

Fine, than you can try my latest macro

The most important axis save is the Z axis. With a power failure X and Y can physically stay where they are, although I appreciate their respective 3 dimensional locations must be saved as the axes must be re-homed after restarting.

Yeah, I ask because, with 3D printers, all X/Y moves above the current Z-height of the print are perfectly safe. That's what resurrect.g assumes. However, with routers, this might be different - I simply don't know that.

–––––

I have been looking in how to insert a macro call into M911 - alas, the reality check on my printer fails: although configured, M911 does not execute on a simulated power loss. Could you help me out with that?

It's simple: out-comment the M911 line in your config, then put something like this below:

M911 S13.1 R24.0 P"M98 P""SaveSpindleSpeed.g"" M913  X0 Y0  G91 M83 G1 Z3 E-5 F1000"

Parameters can be different on your milling machine (especially S and R of M911).

If you have put the "SaveSpindleSpeed.g" macro into /sys before, you should find the spindle speed at power-off in the macro "RestoreSpindleSpeed.g" after you have repowered your mill.

[Nightowl]

@infiniteloop

Just so I'm clear (sorry), do I need to run a project file and power off during that, or will the file be generated without running a project file?

Also, there isn't a file of that name in the \sys folder yet.

Also also I probably don't need to include anything after Y0 as I don't have an extruder (except perhaps the Z3?)

[Nightowl]

@infiniteloop

Talk about slow! I'm not getting topic updates, so missed the bit about writing the macro.

I've done it now and, with the spindle running, switched off the machine at the mains, then turned it back on again.

This is the resulting SavedSpindleSpeed.g file...

; SaveSpindleSpeed.g
; Macro to store the actual spindle speed (RPM) at the time this is called
; To restore the saved datum, call the macro "RestoreSpindleSpeed.g".
; Requires RRF 3.4 and a CNC configuration with valid spindles[0] entry in the object model
var fName = "RestoreSpindleSpeed.g"
echo >{var.fName} "; "^var.fName
echo >>{var.fName} "; Spindle speed saved from running """^{job.file.fileName}^""" CNC file"
echo >>{var.fName} ""
echo >>{var.fName} "M3 S"^{spindles[0].active}
echo >>{var.fName} ""
echo >>{var.fName} ";EOF"

I've also written a RestoreSindleSpeed.g file with just a REM line at Line 1, and this is what's in it when I run the SavedSpindleSpeed.g file...

; RestoreSpindleSpeed.g
; Spindle speed saved from running "null" CNC file
 
M3 S0
 
;EOF

[infiniteloop]

@nightowl999 said in Power failure and resurrection on a CNC machine:

I've also written a RestoreSindleSpeed.g file with just a REM line at Line 1.

Then, something goes wrong. The macro RestoreSpindleSpeed.g is generated by a call of SaveSpindleSpeed.g. So, if you have put SaveSpindleSpeed.g into the M911 line in your config,g, then cut power off …
After repowering the machine, RestoreSpindleSpeed.g should be to find in your /sys folder of the SD card. Every time you see it in /sys, you can delete it right away. It is just needed until you have run your resurrect.g - which in turn calls resurrect-prologue.g, into which you - hopefully - have insert the line

M98 P"RestoreSpindleSpeed.g"

As long as no job is in progress during the power fail, you will get "null" as CNC file name, and if the spindle speed is 0, the resulting M3 S0 is ok.

I probably don't need to include anything after Y0

That's right for your router.

[Nightowl]

@infiniteloop
So I tried to experiment a little...

I ran a small gcode file which set the spindle speed to 18,000rpm then initiated a power cut.

When I ran the RestoreSpindleSpeed.g from the MDI, the spindle started up - at 18,000rpm.

This is the file:

; RestoreSpindleSpeed.g
; Spindle speed saved from running "0:/gcodes/Calibration Toolpath.gcode" CNC file
 
M3 S18000

I've now added the M98 line to resurrect-prologue.g file, so it looks like this:

; resurrect-prologue.g
M98 "RestoreSpindleSpeed.g"

[infiniteloop]

@nightowl999 said in Power failure and resurrection on a CNC machine:

This is the file:

That's what I've expected. The only thing I miss is my beloved ";EOF" at the end of RestoreSpindleSpeed.g

Now the big question: does this setup what you want or do you need additional functions to be restored after a power off? With the same technique, we could generate a complete replacement or a better suited version of resurrect.g.

[Nightowl]

@infiniteloop

That's awesome, thank you

Because this is following a power failure, and from a safety perspective, there are some procedures I will need to initiate from starting up after the power failure (it's never my intention to be away from the machine while it's running, by the way).

I understand the machine must be homed, so it knows where it is, return to its last known XY location, remember what file it was running, remember where in that file it had got to, then wait for me to say OK for it to carry on. At the 'carry on' it should start the spindle and plunge slowly down to it's last known Z height then continue the project.

Simples!

I think the parameters for most of that will be in the resume.g file?

I've added the EOF line!

[infiniteloop]

@nightowl999 said in Power failure and resurrection on a CNC machine:

I think the parameters for most of that will be in the resume.g file?

That depends. Currently, your resume.g is mainly meant to be called after a pause - I doubt you want this to permanently call for permission to continue. Also, at that stage of resurrect.g, i.e. when resurrect.g calls resume.g, the spindle is already running. Nothing to dream of - you want to be asked before.

A better place to ask might be your resurrect-prologue.g. From there, you can cancel further execution of resurrect.g.

I understand the machine must be homed, so it knows where it is, return to its last known XY location, remember what file it was running, remember where in that file it had got to, then wait for me to say OK for it to carry on. At the 'carry on' it should start the spindle and plunge slowly down to it's last known Z height then continue the project.

The question here is: does resurrect.g what you want? As I said, we can insert a dialog in the prologue which then asks for permission to continue … but are you fine with the part of resurrect.g which follows on the call of the prologue?

[Nightowl]

@infiniteloop
So it's about the event timing (I'm not sure I actually meant the resume.g file!)...

On power fail, the M911 string initiates the SaveSpindleSpeed.g file which writes the RestoreSpindleSpeed.g file, taking (some) information from the active job file and elsewhere, and the default resurrect.g file is also written.

On power resume, the resurrect.g file calls the resurrect-prologue.g file, which calls the RestoreSpindleSpeed.g file to set the variables and other information ready for the specific file to continue.

It might be worth homing the machine on power resume and for it to wait there until I allow it to continue (if everything is OK, or Cancel if I need to stop the project.

Cancel will be the same as Cancel Job on the DWC.

On OK, the spindle should move to the last known XY, turn on at the saved Spindle speed, thendrop down to the last known Z height and continue on it's way.

So, in answer to your question, I think the resurrect.g file does do what I want, except for the homing sequence, which I think is necessary. I could be wrong, if all the necessary information is held in the resurrect.g file and precludes the need to home. That's what I'm not sure about.

Thank you!

On power fail, the M911 string initiates the SaveSpindleSpeed.g file which writes the RestoreSpindleSpeed.g file, taking (some) information from the active job file and elsewhere, and the default resurrect.g file is also written.

Correct.

@nightowl999 said in Power failure and resurrection on a CNC machine:

On power resume, the resurrect.g file calls the resurrect-prologue.g file, which calls the RestoreSpindleSpeed.g file …

Up to here: correct.

… to set the variables and other information ready for the specific file to continue.

No, the file RestoreSpindleSpeed.g just restores the previously saved spindle speed - that's it. After that, it returns control back to resurrect-prologue.g (which, at this point, has no more instructions available), and, after finishing execution of the prologue, control returns to resurrect.g which then executes all lines following the call of resurrect-prologue.g.

I think the resurrect.g file does do what I want, except for the homing sequence, which I think is necessary.

That's the main job of resurrect-prologue.g - allow me to cite the documentation:

At the very least, your sys/resurrect-prologue.g file must do the following:
Home the printer, without crashing the head into the print. On a delta, or on a Cartesian or CoreXY printer with a Z max homing switch, you can home all axes. On other types of printers you may have to skip homing Z and use a G92 command to tell the printer the current Z coordinate. If you choose not to home an axis, then even if the print head hasn't moved since power down, the motor positions will change by up to 4 full steps compared to their position at power down. Note: recent firmware versions write a G92 command containing the coordinates at the time of failure into resurrect.g, just before the call to resurrect-prologue.g. So you may get away without homing axes. But it is still best to home any axes that you can (typically X and Y on a cartesian or CoreXY printer).
