Precix CNC Router that has the Sensoray 626 pci card and pwm Servos need help was created by EMFab01
I have a Precix CNC Router that uses the Sensoray 626 pci card with Advanced Motion Controls 12A8E-INV Brush Type PWM Servo Amplifier to drive the motors. The system work with the Precix code that is old. so I'm trying to get Linuxcnc to work on it. I can load the driver for the 626 card and run the 626demo code and I see the limit switches and the encoders. I just don't know where to start to do the interfacing. its all new to me so anything would be helpful.
Thanks
Eric

Is there register level documentation or driver source available for the PCI card?

This is all new to me on the Linuxcnc so is there a document to know how the program interacts with the hardware?

What do you need the card to do? It looks like digital input/output at 1kHz would be trivial. But other stuff would need more work.

The cnc router works and I have used the 626 demo program to find out the inputs for the encoders and the limit switch's. I just really don't know how to do the programming from the linuxcnc to the pci card.

You need a HAL driver.
This is one that I wrote for a vaguely similar card:
github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master.../drivers/pcl720.comp
If you look through it (ignore the "reset" function for now) You will see a header block that defines the HAL pins, and then, written in C, a "read" and a "write" function that convert HAL signals into register values abd vice/versa and then send/get them with inb() and outb() instructions.
You would need something very similar, but would need a bit more complexity to set up the PWM signals (which I assume are generated on the board?)

I took a look at the pcl720.comp file to try and see how to adapt this to the Sensoray 626 card mentioned by EMFab01. This .comp file appears to be a mix of C code and other declarations used by Linuxcnc to figure out how to talk to the hardware. Is there some documentation somewhere that explains the syntax used in the .comp file? Specifically, the definition of the pins vs usage of the pins in the C read/write functions?
