Re: [Emc-users] Pncconf with 6i25 and 7i85s in 2.7-pre6
Chris, I was mistaken. There is indeed a 7i84 in the second combo box. I can select that but then I get the wrong designation for the I/O bits. That is, I get hm2_5i25.0.7i84.0.1.input-00 rather than hm2_5i25.0.7i84.0.0.input-00 (for example). I assume that is because, as you say, I cannot select the 7i84 on the Connector 3 tab? Or is it just a bug with the numbering (starting at 1 rather than 0)? -Tom On Apr 17, 2015, at 8:01 PM, Chris Morley chrisinnana...@hotmail.com wrote: From: tom-...@bgp.nu Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2015 11:07:00 -0400 To: emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Pncconf with 6i25 and 7i85s in 2.7-pre6 On Apr 16, 2015, at 8:45 PM, Chris Morley chrisinnana...@hotmail.com wrote: The 7I85s is a 4 axis stepgen + encoder interface. Does pncconf know how to make closed loop stepgen + encoder feedback configurations? Yes - if you pick an x axis stepper and x axis encoder (but not an x axis analog) then pncconf will do a closed loop stepper config. I haven't check this in a long time so it might need some tweaks. Firmware XMLs must be put in /lib/firmware/hm2/BOARDNAME for pncconf to notice them. I created a directory /lib/firmware/hm2/5i25 and put the 7i85sx2.xml and 7i85sx2.bit files there. PNCCONF now sees the 5i25 and 7i85s. I also have a 7i84 connected via serial to the 7i85s, that it doesn’t see. Do I also need to add a 7i84.xml file for that to work? Not sure where to find that, it doesn’t seem to be in the config files I downloaded for the 5i25 card. By 2.8 pncconf will read the info from a live system YAAY! That would be nice! -Tom I down loaded 5i25_7i85_x2.xml from mesa and added to pncconf. on the connector 2 tab I could select the 7i84 on the second combo box down on the left. i should be able to select the same thing on the other tab but cannot - I'll look into it. Is this not the same for you?

I also notice that one can only choose 7i84 Mode 1 I/O Card or 7i84 Mode 3 I/O Card” in the drop down. The 7i84 manual talks about three modes 0,1 and 2: MODE 0 - I/O only mode (32 bits of input data, 16 bit of output data) MODE 1 - I/O plus analog input and field voltage mode (32 bits of input data, 16 bits of output data, 4 analog input channels (on inputs 0..3) and field voltage analog in) MODE 2 - I/O plus analog input (32 bits of input data, 16 bits of output data, 4 analog input channels (on inputs 0..3), and 2 MPG encoders on inputs 16..19). Default encoder count mode is 1X to match normal 100 PPR MPGs. Encoder input threshold is fixed at 2.5V for compatibility with 5V encoder outputs. -Tom -- BPM Camp - Free Virtual Workshop May 6th at 10am PDT/1PM EDT Develop your own process in accordance with the BPMN 2 standard Learn Process modeling best practices with Bonita BPM through live exercises http://www.bonitasoft.com/be-part-of-it/events/bpm-camp-virtual- event?utm_ source=Sourceforge_BPM_Camp_5_6_15utm_medium=emailutm_campaign=VA_SF ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users

[Emc-users] Need a SWAG
Greetings; I am in the midst of replacing the 28 volt motor supply on my mill with a 48 volt contraption. This should, all other things remaining equal, allow me to make my accel setting a little faster, and the MAX_VEL's a bunch faster. Since I am going from 28 volts to 48 volts, is there a general rule of thumb way to determine the ratio of increase I can put in my .ini file? Thanks everybody.
