I'd like to "net" it to the output of another logic module, which would save an and2 gate in the data flow. I already have a 'spindle-is-moving' signal which would (re)trigger a oneshot to give a steady signal as long as the spindle is turning. Then I want motion.spindle-on to trigger a second oneshot. If at the end of that oneshot pulse, the spindle is moving, everythings fine, but if the spindle-is-moving is false at the end of that oneshot, trigger a 3rd to pull motion.enable down for a few milliseconds, bringing everything to a halt before the motor, with no feedback, has been told to go 450 rpms, but the PID winds it up to 10 grand and destroys some more stuff. This time it was the 5i25 and the bob that were blown. But it went thru the grounding system and took all 3 slot interrupters out of the encoder too. So it was about a $150 fix all told, apparently caused by a lack of a common ground between the - end of the motor's psu and the system ground. So maybe do it with 2 oneshots & a timedelay? The timedelay to make a startup delay of perhaps 50 milliseconds. A oneshot to convert the filter pump to a steady signal, Feed those to an and2, and if the and2 goes true, fire the 3rd one to shut things down before the motor gets all wound up. But, if I could 'net' the edge trigger parameters, I could do away with an and2 in the chain by disabling both edges in lieu of the and2. It seems there ought to be a simpler way than 4 hal modules to do a spindle hasn't turned 100 milliseconds after enabling it shutdown. I'll set that up come daytime & see if I can get the right "-not" signals into the and2. The idea is to pull motion.enable low just long enough to kill everything and then release it. While at the same time, being immune to the very short time of very low speed when the spindle direction is reversed while doing rigid tapping. That reversals speed is determined by the acceleration profiles, separate from the PID that I put in to keep from destroying drive pulley's and belts. That acceleration limit3's straight line ramp works, but I'd like to have a limit4 whose characteristic output for a step input was a 'sine squared' ramp. But we "don't hardly got some more of those". :) It would go a long ways towards de-jerking the spindle. Thanks Andy.
