No enc0 counts on 7i77 with MPG was created by arvidb
I'm trying to cobble together a rather temporary pendant using a 7i77 and an MPG. I get no counts on hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.0.enc0.count - Hal Meter shows it as 0. Same thing with the other enc0 signals. I'm running axis_mm and simply added this hal file:

loadrt hostmot2

# Set sserial port 0 to mode 3: mpg on inputs 16-19
loadrt hm2_pci config="sserial_port_0=300xxx"

addf hm2_5i25.0.read          servo-thread
addf hm2_5i25.0.write         servo-thread

# for MPG enc0:

# A --> 7I77 field input TB7 1 (IN 16)
# B --> 7I77 field input TB7 2 (IN 17)
# Vcc --> +5V
# Gnd --> +5V common --> field I/O common

setp joint.0.jog-enable 1
setp joint.0.jog-scale 1.0
net j0-jog-count hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.0.enc0.count => joint.0.jog-counts
setp joint.0.jog-vel-mode 0

On the 7i77 LEDs CR1, 3, 6, 7 are on, CR15 blinks at about 1 Hz. I have +5 V to the MPG (taken from the RS422-EXP port) and using a multimeter I can see that I have signals on TB7 pin 1 & 2 when I turn the MPG. (I have checked the MPG with an oscilloscope earlier and confirmed valid quadrature signals.) Field power is about 17 VDC.

What have I missed?

What is the MPG output swing?

The MPG encoder inputs have a higher than TTL threshold = 2.5V with 20% hysteresis so you may need pullups to 5V

The MPG output high level is approximately 3.7 V, measured with oscilloscope on the screw heads on TB7 1 & 2. (Edit: probe GND not hooked up but 'scope and computer share protective earth and low level checked out at close to 0 V.)

I tried adding 10 kΩ pullups but as suspected (given the 3.7 V high level) it didn't make a difference.

As a sanity check I've also confirmed that signals from the normal field inputs gets through, e.g. pulling IN24 high toggles hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.0.input-24.

Is hm2_5i25.0.7i77.0.0.input-16 (and 17) supposed to toggle from the encoder signals? Are these inputs VFIELD voltage tolerant also in MPG mode, just with lowered threshold?

No, even in MPG mode inputs 16,17,18,19 have the standard 40% and 60% of field
voltage threshhold for the exported pin values.

You might try a stiffer pullup (say 1K)

I figured it out: no common ground between VFIELD and the RS422-EXP +5V. Weird thing is I was sure I had checked this, confirming 5 V between VFIELD GND and RS422-EXP +5V. Maybe I was too tired yesterday. :)
