As showed in the image which is cutted from the file of 5axis_sim.hal..
" net J0pos <= axis.0.motor-pos-cmd"
"net J0pos => axis.0.motor-pos-fb"
is the two "net"sentence above equal with this sentence directly:"axis.0.motor-pos-cmd => axis.0.motor-pos-fb"???
if equal, how we should understand it by the data from "axis.0.motor-pos-cmd" to "axis.0.motor-pos-fb"?
if not equal, where's the difference??

Hi

net connects one or more pins to a signal

The signal name is the first argument, the pin name(s) are the subsequent arguments

The => <= are irrelevant and are just there to aid humans reading the line to see which way data flows

is the two "net"sentence above equal with this sentence directly:"axis.0.motor-pos-cmd => axis.0.motor-pos-fb"???


No it is equivilent to
net J0pos axis.0.motor-pos-cmd => axis.0.motor-pos-fb

see
www.linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/hal/tutorial.html

thank you.

but the point i cannot understand is that why the pin of "axis.0.motor-pos-fb" accept data from "axis.0.motor-pos-cmd "

isn't the data of "axis.0.motor-pos-fb" from the encoder which is attached with the motor?

It was your example not mine.

For a stepper set up it would normally be
net xpos-cmd axis.0.motor-pos-cmd  stepgen.0.position-cmd
net xpos-fb stepgen.0.position-fb  axis.0.motor-pos-fb

axis.0.motor-pos-cmd is a float out and axis.0.motor-pos-fb is a float in, they don't care where their numbers are sent to or received from. The float out can be connected to any float in, and vice versa.
Now just because it can be done, doesn't necessarily mean that it is right to do so, what you listed essentially short circuits the feed back eliminating it.

This is because you have chosen a "simulator" configuration that will run without any hardware.
The feedback is short-circuited so that the simulated machine does not have an immediate folowing error.

isn't the data of "axis.0.motor-pos-fb" from the encoder which is attached with the motor?


Yes, absolutely. But if there is no motor and no encoder then it can't. :-)

thank you.

"net xpos-cmd axis.0.motor-pos-cmd stepgen.0.position-cmd
net xpos-fb stepgen.0.position-fb axis.0.motor-pos-fb"


Your example above use a space instead of the symbol "<="or "=>"
what's the direction of the data flowing?

Data always flows from output to input pins. The arrows don't actually do anything except make the files easier for humans to read.
