That's not a true differential output. It's an optoisolator's two output terminals. Since they're isolated, neither terminal is tied to a gnd or + so you can connect it high or low. When tripped, it conducts current (supplied externally) from + to -. It cannot generate its own voltage,

Hello, The stepper drive has open collector alarm output. Can I use a differential RX input on 7i47s to read it? Thanks Andrew ​ -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites,

[Emc-users] Mesa 7i47S issue

2017-04-06 Thread Andrew
Hello! I've been testing 7i80 (7i80hd_16_svst1_4_7i47s.bit) with 7i47S. According to the manual and hm2 load report I should have stepgen0..3 at TX0...TX7 outputs. But what I seem to have is stepgen0..1 at TX4...7, stepgen2..3 is at TX0..3. This is pretty confusing. Or am I missing something?
