HELP!

i have now got a running machine, but can't get the spindle index pulse working.

my setup was originally generated by the Pncconf, and looks nothing like any others.

my problem is the encoder settings for my spindle.

setp hm2_5i20.0.encoder.02.counter-mode false
setp hm2_5i20.0.encoder.02.filter true
setp hm2_5i20.0.encoder.02.index-invert 0
setp hm2_5i20.0.encoder.02.index-enable 1
setp hm2_5i20.0.encoder.02.index-mask 0
setp hm2_5i20.0.encoder.02.index-mask-invert 0
setp hm2_5i20.0.encoder.02.scale [SPINDLE_9]INPUT_SCALE
net spindle-vel-fb <= hm2_5i20.0.encoder.02.velocity
net spindle-index-enable <=> hm2_5i20.0.encoder.02.index-enable

# ---setup spindle control signals---

net spindle-cw <= motion.spindle-forward
net spindle-ccw <= motion.spindle-reverse

net spindle-vel-cmd-rps <= motion.spindle-speed-out-rps
net spindle-vel-cmd <= motion.spindle-speed-out
net spindle-enable <= motion.spindle-on

net spindle-vel-cmd => near.0.in1
net spindle-vel-fb => near.0.in2

# net spindle-brake <= motion.spindle-brake
net spindle-revs => motion.spindle-revs
net spindle-at-speed motion.spindle-at-speed <= near.0.out
net spindle-vel-fb => motion.spindle-speed-in
net spindle-index-enable <=> motion.spindle-index-enable
setp near.0.scale 1.07

i have checked the pinouts on my card, 14 - 15 - 17 a,b, z
and they all work. but! theZ channel is not making the spindle-index-enable work.

i.e. the z channel just counts and dosen't reset every revolution.
this means i have a big ZERO in spindle-revs

any help appreciated as i've tried and read all i can...

i want feed per rev!

Is your motion spindle at speed true (not sure of the exact syntax)? Spindle sync waits for spindle at speed...

yes that works fine

net spindle-vel-fb => motion.spindle-speed-in


this float displays the correct speed

Not the spindle speed but the motion.spindle-at-speed must be "true".

What version of EMC are you using ? Could you post your pncconf files?
spindle configuration has not been tested well in pncconf but we'll fix em as soon as we find them.

The spindle at speed works properly, (the bit is on when the speed is in range -I am using near)
I'll post the config files tomorrow, I installed from the live cd, 4weeks ago, I'll check versions.

I think the Z needs some kind of reset let me check my config on my lathe to see if I can find it.

Yes in my thinking, the spindle index should reset the count every revolution therefore making the spindle revs a meaningful number. This would also make the spindle position meaningful.

I see the problem finally!

net spindle-index-enable <=> hm2_5i20.0.encoder.02.index-enable

should be

net spindle-index motion.spindle-index-enable <= hm2_5i20.0.encoder.02.index-enable

Thanks! I'll give that a try tomorrow, looks to me that should be it.

As long as it tis noted that this is as it was written from pncconf !

Thanks!
