Mesa 7i96s with 5 encoders and Modbus

More

Dear folks,

I have a mesa 7i96s and want to set up 5 encoders and a pktUART Modbus connection.

So following talla83 youtube videos I got myself the efinity toolchain and started my experiments:

Adding the additional encoder input was straight forward except that my encoders are differential and additional encoder input on the mesa card take an a b signal so I had to get optical isolated rs485 to ttl boards

Now the pktUART part bugs me -- .as I want to use the smart serial as well.

so the first question: Is it possible to use two pins of the expansion port for Modbus communication?

the modified bitfile compiles (or whatever it is called) flashing is OK reloading is OK a mesaflash --read shows the pins (sry I can not attach it at the moment as I'm not in the shop at the moment) the modbus component description loads and at debug level 3 try's to send and receive but  nothing is happening on the assigned pins.

Typically you would use 3 pins for Modbus: RX, TX, and TXEN

Now in the shop I retrived the .vhd File used to generate the bitfile

then i hooked my osciloscope between ch1 gnd - pin7 / ch2  gnd - pin8

Nothing -- constant 5V on both channels

pls advice

I would try creating a .mod file and doing an actual test

I would try standard 7I96S+PktUART firmware (using
the TB2 RS-485 interface) and then work backwards to
find out where the issue is.

So tried tb2 Rs-485 interface with PIN_7I96SD_PKT.vhd and

1 GND
2 RX+,TX+ 390 Ohm pulldown to GND (1)
3 RX-,TX- 
4 RX+,TX+
5 RX-,TX1-   390 Ohm pullup to 5V (6)
6 +5V

same,same but different:

NO signal on the bus;
but rxmode changed from 16000F0c to 1600F8E

I would try the standard firmware with the sample relay .mod file since that is known to work
I would also use 7i96sd_pktv2.bin since its the latest (though both have been tested)

Not sure where is in in a normal install but in the source it's:

src/hal/drivers/mesa-hostmot2/modbus/relayboard.mod
