7i84 Software mode 3 was created by Duc
Looking to configure the 7i84 to use software mode 3 so I can use the encoder function for a MPG.

I can see the pinout of the card from Halcmd but not sure how to force input 16,17,18,19 to encoder mode from the Hal file since PNCCONF does not see the card.


All other inputs are working on the card.


Thanks

Actually you want to set the 7I84's software mode to 2
(the manual had an error, fixed in rev 1.5 of the 7I84 manual)

This needs a tuple in the hm2_pci config string like "sserial_port_0=0200"
(assuming the 7I84 is on sserial channel 1 as it will be if you have a 7I76 on P3 )

Channel numbers of the sserial mode setting string are in left to right order
and start at channel 0. X's in the sserial mode setting string disable channels

For example "sserial_port_0=3415XX" would

set sserial channel 0 to mode 3
set sserial channel 1 to mode 4
set sserial channel 2 to mode 1
set sserial channel 3 to mode 5
disable sserial channel 4
disable sserial channel 5
Last edit: 20 Apr 2014 00:52 by PCW. Reason: adjust for 7I76 sserial exp channel

My connections of difference is 5i25>7i76>7i84. The 7i76 and 7i84 are connected by a cable to the serial port between them.

How would you tell if it which over to a different mode in Halcmd?

Attached is the beginning part of my Hal file.

I would try sserial_port_0=0200
and then halcmd show pin to check if the encoder pins show up

Might as well continue the questions in this thread for the encoder stuff.

Here is the MPG
www.redrive.biz/MGX-10B-SUMTAK-YASNAC-OP...-100mA-p/mgx-10b.htm


I have S1 hooked to enc0 on pins 16 and 17 and S2 hooked to enc1 on pins 18,19. Power is supplied by a 12v power supply with the ground tied to my main 24v power supply ground.


When I bring up the hal meter and watch hm2_5i25.0.7i84.01.1.enc0 I see no change. Stays on 276.

Here is the complete Hal file.

I would try:
S1+ to IN16
S2+ to IN17

(and leave S1- and S2- unconnected)

That was the issue. Now I just need to solve the mux problem but I will continue that in the Hal section for the control panel.

Thank you for the help.

Hello.
I have issues with the MPG with the 7i96s+7i84 combination. (no blink no reaction, in an other setup it works correctly)
The MPG is a

with 5V connected to the 7i96s an the AB - 16, 17 pin on the 7i84.
Should be connected the 5v GND and the 24v GND together? (not remember, did I connect them together in the other setup, where it works correctly)

Yes, you would need a common ground between the MPG ground
and the field power ground for the MPG to work with the 7I84.

If you did not want to make that connection, you could
use the 7I96S MPG inputs. (inputs 0..7 support up to 4 MPGs)
