5i25 + 7i85s +....

Hi,

Dont know exactly how to check that. With HAL configuration i can see that

hm2_5i25.0.pwmgen.00.value

Shows negative values when going anticlock-wise and positive values when going clock-wise.

Can i see in some way the state of DIR ( out1 of pwmgen ) via HAL configurator or something?

I check it with the voltimeter and i see that TX6 ( out1 of pwmgen) is always HIGH, no matter if the pwmgen is enabled or the direction (clock or anti-clokwise).

Thank you!

Yes, it works.

I can see the state of the GPIO PIN hm2_5i25.0.gpio.003.in (TX6 -> DIR) changing in the HAL configurator when i switch from clock-wise to anti-clockwise. But testing with the voltimeter the state doesnt switch in TX6. It remains always HIGH. In fact when go i clockwise the voltimeter shows something weird, like if it was trying to change to LOW but very fast it goes HIGH again.

Maybe something wrong with the threads?? Do u want to see my hole HAL file??

I have tested with the voltimeter TX7 too (PWM), and it gives me 3.75 V ( i guess that is a false meassure as it is a PWM out) when the spindle is in STOP and clockwise, and 0 V when is anticlock-wise.

I have tested the the hm2_5i25.0.gpio.002.in ( TX7 -> PWM) with the HAL scope, and it shows variable waves when changing the velocity of the spindle. It always shows a positive cuadrature wave no matter if clock or anticlockwise.

So i guess the PIN TX7->PWM works nice too.

Thank you.

Yes, it is unwired.

I have test the hm2_5i25.0.gpio.003.in ( TX6->DIR) with the hal scope and it remains always LOW. Although in the HAL configurator it switches.

EDIT= Sorry, it changes in HAL scope too, from HIGH to LOW as shows the HAL configurator.

Here is my HAL file. Maybe i have to add some threads or something.

Dont know if its your issue but at the minimum you should set the PWM output type ( to 1 )
and PWM frequency ( to 5000 for the Spinx1 ) in your hal file

Hi,

I have set that two things in the HAL file, but continues doing the same. I didnt set the control-type in the HAL file because i checked with HAL configuration and it showed 1 , so i guessed that was the predeterminated value.

With the configuration i have the TX6 of the 7i85s should change its state by changing the direction of rotation, shouldnt it??

Thank you.

If i wire the DIR to non-TX6 it works, because this PIN is always LOW, so it works clock-wise all the time.

But now i have the problem with the TX7, the SPIN1X is always sending 10 V ( the reference of my VFD), no matter which value has pwmgen.00.value. Furthermore, if i push the stop button, TX7 continues HIGH ( the voltimeter reads 3,7 V ), no matter what i do in linuxcnc, TX7 is always HIGH, like TX6.

I think my problem is that TX6 and TX7 are not controlable by linuxcnc. My version of linuxcnc is 2.7.4, should i upgrade??

Thank you.

Are you sure you have a 7I85S, not a 7I85?
(check label on back of card)

This is very unlikely to be a LinuxCNC version dependent problem
(None of the PWM/driver code has changed for many years)

How is the 7I85S powered?
