External homing (in drives)?

That looks great.
I my case, I have X/Y/Z driven with steppers and use standard LCNC homing. A-axis is driven with the Ultra 3k, and I will be using the internal "To sensor/Back to marker" function.
I'd planned on following the advice here and setting the A-axis homing as I described earlier - i.e. LCNC is 'dumb' about the A-axis.
How would you anticipate your comp working with a mix of drives?

I made a custom homing component for homing Ultra 3000 drive based on the example provided in linuxcnc.I bench tested it with my drive (2098-DSD-010-SE) and using "To Sensor/Back to Marker" and it's working fine.Linuxcnc wait for the drive to finish homing before moving to the next drive.

It would be great if you could share your ethercat_conf.xml file for your drive
I could not find anything much useful about your drive. Is it a CIA402 drive?

Danny, this is awesome work. I think you are the first to implement a homemod on real hardware.I made a custom homing component for homing Ultra 3000 drive based on the example provided in linuxcnc.I bench tested it with my drive (2098-DSD-010-SE) and using "To Sensor/Back to Marker" and it's working fine.Linuxcnc wait for the drive to finish homing before moving to the next drive.

Rod -
The Allen Bradley Ultra 3000 is a (recently) obsolete servo drive. They're pretty bulletproof, and are one of the most 'agnostic' drives out there for use with just about any servo/encoder combination. Analog or digital inputs, secondary feedback input, etc. There are even models that go up to 3kw continuous on single-phase 240v.
They came in three flavors: no networking, sercos, or DeviceNet. Some models have built-in indexing features, and all of them can be controlled via rs232/485 serial ports. They are not, however, ethercat drives; way too old for that.
I think what Danny's done in his comp is use the digital IO on the drive to do what I've been pondering... tell LCNC to just shut up and let the drives get on with it. But his plan appears to be much more elegant than what I was considering.
But I haven't digested his comp yet.

Thanks for the context. With an Ethercat CIA402 drive, you may need an external component like Dominic's to extract the homing pins but ideally it should be done in the homecomp (which might be possible). I have a couple of other jobs to do before I tackle this. The Ethercat Working Group is coming to Brisbane, Australia where i live on 10 Feb so I hope to be there.I think what Danny's done in his comp is use the digital IO on the drive to do what I've been pondering... tell LCNC to just shut up and let the drives get on with it.

Not DanyD here but I can see that your attached file 0homecomp.comp is wrong. Looks like you removed some lines in the beginning.... Try with the original unmodified file. If you are unsure of the 'synthax' you may also have a look at this as an example of comp file here: github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...onents/homecomp.comp

Thank you.
I copied the text out of the thread. But I forget the frist Line.
OK I will try again today.
