Second spindle- HAL configuration

More
24 Aug 2023 14:02 - 24 Aug 2023 14:13 #278861 by RobotMatic
I am trying to configure a second spindle to control by pwm an inductor by control of 0-10volt
I have created a second HAL PWM component perfectly to assign to the second spindle. Until here everything perfect.
I understand that spindle.0 is created by Motion
I need to declare spindle.1 and I do not realize how to do it and I do not know if you can perform loadrt spindle?

How can I declare a second spindle ?

thank you very much

in the ini file you set the number of spindles... if you now have [SPINDLE_0] add  [SPINDLE_1]and do two separate configurations.

How can I declare a second spindle ?

In the INI, and possibly the HAL. 

[TRAJ] NUM_SPINDLES
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/config/ini...g.html#_traj_section

And also in the HAL (though this may be linked to the INI)
linuxcnc.org/docs/stable/html/man/man9/motion.9.html

ie, in the HAL you will have either

loadrt motmod num_joints=3..... num_spindles=1...

Or, possibly

loadrt [EMCMOT]EMCMOT base_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]BASE_PERIOD servo_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]SERVO_PERIOD num_joints=[KINS]JOINTS num_spindles=[TRAJ]SPINDLES

In the latter case it is all automatic, and only needs to be altered in the INI file, as the HAL values are read-in from the INI.

THANK!!!!!!

SPINDLES =2 in the .INI file and in the .HAL file :

  Motion 

loadrt [EMCMOT]EMCMOT base_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]BASE_PERIOD servo_period_nsec=[EMCMOT]SERVO_PERIOD num_joints=[KINS]JOINTS num_spindles=[TRAJ]SPINDLES

addf motion-controller servo-thread

loadrt pwmgen output_type=1,1            
addf pwmgen.make-pulses base-thread

I also have two spindles, a 24000 rpm vfd and a maximum 5000 rpm pwm for milling but I preferred to keep 2 separate configurations and start the one I need because you have to use different commands for the two spindles. M3 for the first M3 $2 for the second etc
so out of laziness I didn't touch anything
