Subject: [Emc-users] Unusual help request.


The bob i'm using now is the keling c35, which gas buffered TTL outputs.
Maybe, since I need very High step rates (i need to reach almost max speed out of these hybrid nema34-12NM steppers) i'm thinking about going with 7i92. I've read the manual and there's not the possibility to set them for differential output, am i right? In case i can build a simple rs422 bob.


Another possibility is 1X 7I96 which has 5X differential step/dir outputs


Yes, right now i have stretch with preempt-rt on, with lcnc 2.8. Peter, please can you confirm 7i92 works OK with latest 2.8? And, just in case i'll feel more confortable in using one 7i92 per winch and ethernet/optic fiber converters for the long range, i know 4 of 7i92 are really oversized, but can you confirm they can work together without slowing down everything?


This can work but depending on your host PC you might need to drop the servo thread rate to 500 Hz or so, this has no effect on the maximum step rate,
just the number of velocity steps getting to full speed

I actually think it makes more sense to have one controller and wire the step/dir signals the longest distance since they are the slowest, only a fwe hundred KHz at most. This might change if you have distributed I/O (local limit switches etc)


Thanks, Davide.
