6i25 (5i25) + 7i85s + 7i85s PNCconf problems and questions

Hereby my .hal and .ini files.

The current connection in my schematic isn't doing anything when i test axis or run the program. But if i look to the created hal and ini file, i am not so surprised. It just seems to me, that this 5i25 card has no idea to where to send the signal to the 7i85s.

Could someone check it out who knows what the hal file should look like. As for the moment i am stuck, nothing moves and no signals whatsoever on this TB6600 test driver.

thx

Have you read linuxcnc.org/docs/2.7/html/drivers/hostmot2.html#_pinouts and had a look at the output from dmesg as mentioned.

Another thing you could do is look at the sample configs and compare them to yours.

Also how is the 7I85S getting 5V power?

You must either

1. Setup the 6I25 to supply power to the 7I85S:
6I25 W2 UP (for P3 power)
6I25 W1 UP (for P2 power)
7I85S W3 UP (for 5V power from DB25 cable)

2. Setup the 7I85S for external power:
6I25 W2 DOWN (for P3)
6I25 W1 DOWN (for P2)
7I85S W3 DOWN (7I85S must have external 5V applied to P1)

Most stupid question... Up means if I look at the orientation in the manual that the jumper is towards the top?

If so than they should be correctly.

"Up" means "when held so that the writing on the screen-print is conventionally oriented"

I am really sorry, that's plain chinese Andy. "Conventionally oriented" sorry man this one I do not understand. Maybe that's why it doesn't work. Would you have an example or picture what up means in a conventional oriented way.

I must seem like an idiot here, but seriously as a noob that phrase is ultimately demotivating
