Mesa 7i96+7i85+7i84

Hi,

Hopefuly PCM can help me with this.

I have a 7i96 card, flashed with standard firmware. I also have a 7i85 connected to p3. This all works great.
Now I have bought a 7i84 and wonder if I have to adjust anything on the 7i96 to get it working? Or will it work straight out of the box?

Don't have the card yet, should arrive this afternoon.

7i84 is an I/O port with 32 in and 16 out, right ?
It connects to FPGA via smart serial, so if you have a free sserial on the 7i96 ( i do not know if 7i96 has it, still waiting for mine), use a RJ45 connector or an ethernet cable cut in half.
It does not require any programming flashing of cards.

Thanks, card just arrived and is connected. Does not work yet, but I will struggle on.
 

CAN SOMEONE FIX THIS BLOODY AWFUL EDITOR????????????????????????????



Yes, everything is connected. Field voltage 12v, logic 12vBut it looks like my 7i96 does not have the correct sserial connections.Configuration Name: HOSTMOT2General configuration information:  BoardName : MESA7I96  FPGA Size: 9 KGates  FPGA Pins: 144  Number of IO Ports: 3  Width of one I/O port: 17  Clock Low frequency: 100.0000 MHz  Clock High frequency: 200.0000 MHz  IDROM Type: 3  Instance Stride 0: 4  Instance Stride 1: 64  Register Stride 0: 256  Register Stride 1: 256Modules in configuration:  Module: DPLL  There are 1 of DPLL in configuration  Version: 0  Registers: 7  BaseAddress: 7000  ClockFrequency: 100.000 MHz  Register Stride: 256 bytes  Instance Stride: 4 bytes  Module: WatchDog  There are 1 of WatchDog in configuration  Version: 0  Registers: 3  BaseAddress: 0C00  ClockFrequency: 100.000 MHz  Register Stride: 256 bytes  Instance Stride: 4 bytes  Module: IOPort  There are 3 of IOPort in configuration  Version: 0  Registers: 5  BaseAddress: 1000  ClockFrequency: 100.000 MHz  Register Stride: 256 bytes  Instance Stride: 4 bytes  Module: PWM  There are 1 of PWM in configuration  Version: 0  Registers: 5  BaseAddress: 4100  ClockFrequency: 200.000 MHz  Register Stride: 256 bytes  Instance Stride: 4 bytes  Module: StepGen  There are 4 of StepGen in configuration  Version: 2  Registers: 10  BaseAddress: 2000  ClockFrequency: 100.000 MHz  Register Stride: 256 bytes  Instance Stride: 4 bytes  Module: QCount  There are 1 of QCount in configuration  Version: 2  Registers: 5  BaseAddress: 3000  ClockFrequency: 100.000 MHz  Register Stride: 256 bytes  Instance Stride: 4 bytes  Module: SSerial  There are 1 of SSerial in configuration  Version: 0  Registers: 6  BaseAddress: 5B00  ClockFrequency: 100.000 MHz  Register Stride: 256 bytes  Instance Stride: 64 bytes  Module: SSR  There are 1 of SSR in configuration  Version: 0  Registers: 2  BaseAddress: 7D00  ClockFrequency: 100.000 MHz  Register Stride: 256 bytes  Instance Stride: 4 bytes  Module: LED  There are 1 of LED in configuration  Version: 0  Registers: 1  BaseAddress: 0200  ClockFrequency: 100.000 MHz  Register Stride: 256 bytes  Instance Stride: 4 bytesConfiguration pin-out:IO Connections for TB3Pin

I give up, this editor is more annoying then fixing the problem itself. Takes even more time.

 

To get the 7I84 working you should have the jumpers in the default position
(W1 and W2 in the left position), field power applied to both A and B sides,
and the correct RJ45 cable.

When LinuxCNC is not running but everything is powered up, you should have
two yellow and one red LED illuminated. When LinuxCNC is running, the red
LED should extinguish and you should get a blinking green LED instead.

Thanks!
Here are pictures of the leds and jumpers LinuxCNC not running



 

Possibly a cable error of some kind
