chuck ladder work?

This isn't quite right. I actually have exactly this logic on my milling machine drawbar release, and it's just plain wrong (and will change soon).
The problem is that the spindle can be off, but still spinning at high speed.

Personally I would do all this in HAL, (because I don't understand Ladder.)

loadrt and2 count =1
loadrt neat count = 1
...
addf and2.0 servo-thread
addf near.0 servo-thread
...
net pedal hm2_5i25.0.7I64.0.2.input-00 => and2.0.in0
net spindle_speed => near.0.in0
setp near.0.in1 0
setp near.0.diffference 0.1
net spindle-stopped near.0.out => and2.in1
net chuck-open and2.0.out => hm2_5i25.0.7I64.0.2.output-00

This assumes that spindle_speed exists as a signal already. It also assumes no other and2 modules are loaded. The 7i64 pin names are probably wrong too, unless you are using the master branch (I changed them in the driver)

Do you have the field power turned on? If not the 7i77 pins will not be available to the 5i25.

We will have to wait for someone familiar with the 7i64 to chime in.

How are your jumpers configured?

the 7i64 shows the pins so.
hm2_5i25.0.7i64.0.2.digin.xx.input
hm2_5i25.0.7i64.0.2.digout.xx.output

Where do you see these pin names? In "Show Machine Config" or halcmd you mean?
They don't look right to me, but if you are seeing hm2_5i25.0.7i64.0.2 then the card is being detected correctly.
What doesn't work? How have you wired the terminals on the 7i64? You know that the inputs need both +ve and -ve terminals connecting, and show "true" when the switch allows current to flow from +ve to -ve?

For example:
+12V -> 7i64+ -> 7i64- -> switch in -> switch out -> GND
Or
+12V -> switch in -> switch out -> 7i64+ -> 7i64- -> GND
