Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Looking for 7i92 bit file




Your forum page shows 4 axis using stepgens on DB-25 pins 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, the 7i92_5ABOB config can configure these on the pins.

what is the exact issue you have?

I need to assign as follows:

X to 2/3

X Slave to 4/5

Y to 6/7

A to 8/9



pncconf doesn't support a configuration missing Z so you
will probably need make a XXYZA configuration assigned:

Stepgen 0  X
Stepgen 2  Y
Stepgen 3  A
Stepgen 1  X2
Stepgen 4  Z

and then delete all the Z axis stuff in the hal and ini files


Does any of the numbers on the left side of the PnCConf dialog correspond to the stepgen numbers?


Yes, the numbers to the left of the stepgen function selector are the stepgen number




I cannot get this result at all. With 7i92_5ABOBx2D I do not get 8/9 assigned at all. It jumps to the next port and then it will put stepgen 4 on the second port. You can see that from my output that I posted on the forum. I redid the config in many ways but I cannot force this allocation at all.

I attached a picture. Don't remember if that can be done.

This is the config I need but I will be damned if I can get PnCConf to do this. Maybe I dont understand the GUI where the pin allocations happen that well. If only they would show the I/O number correctly somewhere. There are some numbers on the left side but they make no sense.

The pinout is determined by the firmware so many
parallel port type 7I92 bitfiles will do

For example 7i92_5ABOBx2D.bit firmware will work here

You associate stepgen numbers to Axis in pncconf
The firmware maps those numbered stepgens to
physical pins


XSTEP - 2 : XDIR -3

X2STEP - 4 : X2DIR - 5

YSTEP - 6 : YDIR - 7

NO Z (or 16 and 17)

ASTEP - 8 : ADIR 9

The config I have to replicate is this.
Seems to be coming through blank.
