System hangs repeatedly with certain combinations of operations

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

The code in my hal file is now
# --- SPINDLE-AT-SPEED ---
net ext_spindle-at-speed <= hm2_7i76e.0.7i76.0.0.input-12
setp lut5.0.function 0x0d
net spindle-enable lut5.0.in-0
net ext_spindle-at-speed lut5.0.in-1
net spindle-at-speed lut5.0.out

if I use hal meter to view the pins on lut5.0 the inputs have the expected values depending on whether the spindle is on or off and whether it is up to speed or not, but the output is always false.

What am I missing?

The 7I76EU inputs have and ~11K input impedance which needs to be accounted for
when driven by a high impedance source (it looks like your source impedance is around 5K Ohms)

Hey guys,
I want to measure the internal temp of my jianken ATC spindle. I have a NTC with a classic voltage divider setup, and at room temperature the V_out of this divider carries 12V. (Measured against GND with a multimeter).

However, as soon as I put this cable into analog_in1 of my Mesa 7i76eu, the voltage drops to 8v, and thous the calculated temperature is garbage...

Any ideas why this is happening? 

regards
Sebastian

Dear All,

For my project I'm looking for a Mesa 7I76E card.
Anyone has such card in perfect working condition for sale?

Thanks in advance,

Frans

multiple estops on separate pins

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Hello,

I am running a thre axis CNC mill with stepper motors with mesa 7i76eu. I wanted to connect stepper driver alarm outputs to mesa and have them triger emergency stop. I am also planning on adding two additional Estop buttons. I wired them up but then noticed that linuxCNC setup wizard only lets me select one output as emergency stop. Is there a way I can select multiple inputs as emergency stop, or do I have to wire the buttons in parallel and connect them to one input.

This is using the 7i76e but more or less the same

Do you have power connected to the orange TB1 header? The Jumper W1 connects VIN to VField but you still need to supply power to VField/VIN and GND. My 7i76eu is powered entirely by 24V going to both TB1 Pin 5 / Pin 8 for field voltage and TB3 Pin 21/ Pin 24 for logic power. My PNP sensors work flawlessly although it took me some time to figure out how to set the inputs to sinking/sourcing.

Had the same issue, need to wire the "orange block" so that your inputs and outputs have power. You should see a yellow light only with only Ethernet or 5v power..... and a red or green light with field power.

I think it's just the bottom one on that orange block that needs 24v and the top one needs ground but that's from memory.... please check the manual

Mesa 7i76eu gpio pins not working

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

Hello,

I am using Mesa 7i76eu card to operate my 3 axis CNC mill. I connected the stepper motors and they work, I can move them with linuxCNC. Now I tried to connect PNP proximity sensors to use as homing switches, but they are not working. At first I was also getting an error when starting linuxCNC, but i noticed that is because W1 jumper fell out while wiring. I set the W1 jumper back to its original left position but the pins are still not working. I also noticed that i have a CR11 LED light turned on indicating field i/o fault. Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem.

"KeyError" suddenly appears after moving a limitswitch

Category: QtPyVCP

Success!
I moved that line to my posthui.hal and now everything works.

Thx for the support.

Category: Advanced Configuration

Its not easy to add a 3rd MPG to a 7I76E/7I76EU isolated I/O
But it would be easy to add 3 or 4 to the parallel expansion port
of a 7I76E,7I76EU,7I96,7I96S,7I95,7I95T etc as long as the MPG
just has 5V signals

Another easy way to add 4 MPG inputs to almost any card and simplify cabling
is to add a 7I73

I have never run this sort of mill- it originally had 3 handwheels, one for each axis, i dont know the resolution of them, but i doubt they were 100ppr, im thinking more like 200-500 to do half thou or 2 tenth motion(assuming 1 rotation was .1"), at least thats what would make sense for me.

i have another question: can a 3rd mpg encoder be added to the firmware of a 7i76e?

Also thanks a lot for the help, and this forum. amazing place!
