SCU (System Configuration Utility)

This utility helps you to easily and quickly configure your Windows PC to communicate with your Ethernet SmoothStepper (ESS).

The SCU documentation has moved to here.


Documentation for the SCU is available here.


Mach4 Plugin for ESS (Ethernet SmoothStepper)

To install the ESS plugin please follow our Getting Started guide, here. This guide contains the links to the ESS Plugin and the Mach4 download page.

Our Mach4 plugins consist of 2 parts. The large file is the plugin software, and the 2nd file is a signature file that lets Mach know it was signed by the plugin developer. Mach will not run the plugin without both files being present. These files should be placed in the 'C:Mach4HobbyPlugins' folder. The extension 'm4pw' stands for 'Mach 4 Plugin Windows'.

Previous Plugin Versions (Yes, I have the latest version listed at the top of the previous releases, because there were multiple cases of people missing the current release in the section above, and using older releases by mistake. I had to add this disclaimer because multiple people started asking why I had the current release listed in multiple places, and what the difference was.):

ESS_Mach3_170328_u4f1H(Released March 28th, 2017)


If you have an existing ESS plugin in 'C:Mach3Plugins', you need to close Mach3 and delete the old ESS plugin first (ESS_Mach3.dll or anything that has ESS in it and ends with .dll).

Once the old ESS plugin is gone, you can double click on the new plugin, (ESS_Mach3.m3p), and a Mach3 helper application will copy the file to 'C:Mach3Plugins' and rename the plugin extension to ESS_Mach3.dll

If you can't get Mach to communicate with the ESS:

1) Close Mach,

2) Power Cycle the ESS

3) Right click on the Mach icon and select “Run as Administrator”. Mach should then connect to the ESS again.


Configurator

This will not setup your PC. The SCU found at the top of this page is the software that sets up your PC. The Configurator only changes the IP address of the ESS - most people will NOT need need to run this application.

Download: Configurator Utility v1.1

Each Ethernet SmoothStepper board is programmed at the factory with a static IP address of 10.9.9.9. If you have a need to change the address of the board, this utility will allow you to change it. Otherwise do not run this program. It has a specific purpose, which is to allow your SmoothStepper to fit into an existing network. We do not recommend integrating the ESS with other computers, printers, the Internet, etc. But if you must do so, you will likely need to use this utility in order for the ESS board to conform to your network. The best solution is to dedicate the wired Ethernet adapter of your computer to the ESS, and use another Ethernet adapter for communicating with other computers, printers, and the Internet. On a laptop, this is most often the wireless interface. A very simple an effective method of adding an extra Ethernet adapter is to use a USB to Ethernet adapter, PCI or PCI Express based Ethernet adapter. They are inexpensive and work very well.

Here is a video showing how to use the Configurator Utility and the SCU to change your ESS's IP Address.

The SCU and the Configurator Utility CANNOT both be running at the same time!!! They mutually block ports that the other needs. If they are both open, close both utilities, cycle power to the ESS and then start the utility you want.


Windows Driver for the USS (USB SmoothStepper)

You need to use a Window's USB driver and a Mach plugin for the USS.

  • For Windows 10 and Windows 8.0 or 8.1 please use the current Windows USB driver (October 25th, 2015).
  • For Windows 7, Vista, and XP please use: SmoothStepperUSBDriver2.08.30.zip
  • Here are the older versions of the USB drivers (which you shouldn't need): Archived versions of the Windows Driver for USS (USB SmoothStepper).


USB Driver Installation: If you are having problems, please watch this short video (less than 2 minutes) on how to install the USB Drivers for windows.

If Windows did not give you the option to select the driver for the USS in the 'New Hardware Found Wizard', here is how to do it manually:

  1. Unzip the USB Driver you downloaded (above).
  2. Open the device manager by pressing the “WINDOWS” key and the “R” key at the same time.
  3. When the 'Run' box opens up, type in 'devmgmt.msc'.
  4. Find the USB SmoothStepper in the list of 'Other Devices'.
  5. Right-click on the SmoothStepper, select 'Properties', and there will be an option for 'Update Driver Software...'.
  6. Browse to the unzipped USB Driver files, and it will install the USB driver for you.

The USS Mach Plugins are in the following sections.


Mach4 Plugin for the USS (USB SmoothStepper)

Currently there is not a Mach4 USS plugin, only a Mach3 USS plugin. We may release a Mach4 USS plugin in 2019. The ESS has both Mach3 and Mach4 plugins.

Mach3 Plugin for the USS (USB SmoothStepper)

Are you running the recommended version of Mach3? Please click to find out.

Please use the current USS Mach3 PlugIn 2014-01-04 : SmoothStepper_v17fe.zip

An 'm3p' file is a 'Mach 3 Plugin' file. Once downloaded, double-click the file and it will self install itself as a dll in the PlugIns directory of your Mach3 installation.
Note: When you run Mach and choose a motion control device, there is a box you can check that says 'Don't ask me again'. Next time you run Mach it won't ask you which plugin you want to use, and it will automatically run the same one. This has caused a lot of headaches for users in the past, so please be aware of it. What you will need to do is reset this option. In Mach, go to the pull-down menus and choose 'Function Cfg's'. Under this menu you will find an option named 'Reset Device Sel...'. If you choose this, then next time you run Mach with the same profile it will ask you which device you want to use. A lot of users have banged their heads against the wall trying to figure out why the features of the new plugin weren't working. It was because they weren't running it... Another note to make is that it isn't a good idea to have more than one SmoothStepper plugin active in the plugins directory. It might be more broad than that, in that you should only have one motion control device plugin in the folder at the same time. I don't know that for a fact but it would not surprise me. For some reason the files interact with each other because Mach loads all of them at startup. The best way to manage plugins is to rename the ones that you are not using. If you change the extension from '.dll' to '.m3p' (Mach 3 Plugin), Mach will leave them alone. If you ever want to reinstall a plugin, simply double-click it and Mach will rename the file from .m3p to .dll. If you double click on the .M3P file while it is still inside the zip file folder, you will get an error saying that it can't be deleted. This is okay, since the file should already be copied to 'c:Mach3plugins' and renamed to have a .dll extension.
