Something funny with my .hal created in pncconf

Something funny with my .hal created in pncconf was created by macona
Working on getting things going on my laser welder. I have my 5i25 tied to the 7i76 with a 7i69 daughter card attached. All powered, 5v from the pc and 24v from an external power supply.
I used the pncconf wizard to create the hal file. First I did a simple one, just stepgens and the parameters that went with them. LinuxCNC was happy with that and launched happily, though when I tried to jog it ran into a follow error because it was looking for encoder feedback. How do I make it run open loop?
But that's not my main problem. I went back in and added a bunch of the I/O with the wizard and now LinuxCNC faults out shortly after launch. The error dialog info is below. And ideas? I have also attached my .hal and .ini

have you a typo error ? , or this output not connected etc
also make sure the 7i76 has the fieldpower powered up before the pc , or you will find that the gpio pins are not created , as these are created over the smart serial interface
if no power is applied then the internal serial interface is inoperable .
i notice their are many inputs not yet connected , for the time being comment them out . and bring them in once you have them connected .
are you creating a glade panel ? or connecting these through a component

Dont know. This hal is completely created by the pncconf. I have not touched it.
The 7i76 had field power when the machine booted,

I would be expecting to see some smart-serial pins around there. For some reason the 7i76 is not being detected (nor is the 7i69)
It is either the field-power problem, or possibly a problem with the DB25 cable. Is the DB25 cable fully-wired 1:1?

Since neither the 7I76 field I/O nor 7I69 are detected, sounds like the 7I76 does not have 5V power (Are both yellow LEDS on the top edge of the 7I76 illuminated?)
If 5V power is coming from the 5I25 P3, 5I25 jumper W2 must be up and 7I76 jumper W2 must be in the left hand position.
If external 5V power is being applied to the 7I76, 5I25 jumper W2 must be down and 7I76 jumper W2 must be in the right hand position
Other possibilities are: wrong firmware on the 5I25, cable attached to 5I25 P2 instead of P3

as PCW says check your jumpers and make sure the field power is on BEFORE pc is booted or power up , i have noticed if field power is applied at power up
then sometimes it can be missread , due to spikes , i use a seperate 24v supply which is always on , this allows me to pull in contactors etc .from the 7i76 on axis initialisation
also check your 5v pc supply rail if this voltage fluctuates it can also give problems , i found also in one installation a faulty pc power supply ( slightly < 5v )
replaced the pc power supply and bingo no power up problems !

I got the boards about a month ago in a plug-n-go kit. The cable is from them.
Tried powering everything down this morning and restarting, same problem. Both amber leds are lit on the 7i76 and the red fault lamp is lit on the 7i69.
Anyone got a working hal that I could peek at to see if something is left out?

you have something not wired correctly or not powering up correctly
can you confirm your jumper settings both on the 5i25 and the 7i76
and also what 5v and field power and gnd is connected to ..
also try the pci card in another pc slot , see if you get the same result
idealy you want the 5v to the 7i76 and 7i69 from the 5i25 .
also i am expecting sserial_port_0=00xxxxxx to be sserial_port_0=0000xxxx
which gives me the thought that the field power is not powering up before the 5v or pc .. although i may be wrong in my assumption here
at the moment i cant fault your Hal or ini file , apart from the above noted sserial_port address
i dont have a 7i69 so cant comment , but at the moment i cant see that being the problem other than incorrect wiring , as the 7i69 is not being used in your hal file
so if you want for now just disconnect it , to remove any problems for now until the gpio is firing up on the 7i76

The 5v could need an external source if you have too much load on the 5v buss like a bunch of encoders.
It's highly possible that the 5v jumpers are not set correctly on both ends.

Like I mentioned, both amber leds are on so it has 5 logic and 24v field. 5v is making it through to the 7i69 as well to the Advantech relay board.
Other than that there is nothing connected to the boards.
