Huanyang Wiring To Mesa 7i96s

Hello,

I solved it using an RS485 USB adapter.
That was back in the parallel port days, but I kept it for the sake of simplicity because it worked well.

Greetings Frank

=14.0ptI’m back again with a problem I’m not certain about. I wired everything the way that PCW said to wire it. The problem I have run into is when it comes to running the configuration wizard. =14.0pt =14.0ptIn the TB1/TB2 section, I don’t have any pin options, only the option to choose “Spindle PWM” and then I selected Pin Type of “PWM Gen-P”. Is that correct? I assume it’s like setting up stepper motors where no pins are included in the setup, just what function is being used. =14.0pt =14.0ptWhen it comes to TB3, I expected I’d find output pins 21-24 listed in the configuration, just the same way pins 00 – 10 were listed on the input side. I am not sure if 01 would be pin 20, 02 pin 21, 03 pin 22, 04 pin 23 and 05 pin 24? Is that correct? Pins 21

pncconf does no show pin numbers but rather module numbers.
You need to look at the 7I96S manual to find the 7I96S pin numbers
for the inputs and outputs.

I guess I was expecting the pin numbers for the output to be like the input pin numbers which were 0-10 with pin 12 being common. The board layout shows 12 pins, 0-5 with each being an A and a B. So selecting 5 in the configuration must represent 5A & B. When I look at the Hal file, I find that 5 is CW and 4 is CCW. So I must have it set correctly.

Thanks for your follow-up.

The inputs listed by pncconf  (0..10) are not pin numbers
they are input numbers (and match the pin names in the hal file)
 

Opps... my mistake. Sorry about that.
