Aciera = Sigma1912 ???
:-D

Nope!

Mesa cards and servos are on there way though1 Ill make a more detailed post of my progress in the next day or two.

To answer your question. With a forklift.

I am trying to get a Huanyang GT VFD to work with LinuxCNC. When I start Linux CNC or via halrun..

I can successfully connect and send commands via mbpoll and the command line
I've tried different baud rates, etc and the same results.  Works via the command line, but not via the hal.

Any ideas?

Hello,

I have RIP installation LCNC 2.10

I cannot woodpecker.ini in sim configs.

Is it bug or dont I have some packages?

Fixed in master.

The best way to know is testing for yourself, it all depends on what you mean by "real work", if you find issues for your use case politely post them here.
I did my own testing, and it is getting closer to my "real work", it is very exciting, but there is still a lot of work, and I'm extremely impressed and grateful to Grotius and co to be tackling this, much appreciated...

Should be fine

Is this the correct type of modbus usb adaper?

Will get here friday if I order it now.

Interesting. But for us newbies, how do we use this mesambccc command? There's a detailed description, but no example of how to use it.

Generally people use separate power supplies. Something like a Meanwell MDR-60-24 24 volts and a similar one for 5 volts. Meanwell MDR-10-5?

These are not expensive.

I want to add a rotary encoder to my mill spindle so that I can do rigid tapping. 
I see that there are choices for PPR from 100 to 600. I'm going to be using a Mesa 7i96 card.
Is there a reason to pick one resolution over another?

50:1 would be OK with with thcad 5 volt scale.
on 10v scale, Use 20:1 which is 200 volt full scale. That will be more accurate. It will probably go off that scale briefly when piercing but  it won't matter as we don't care about the voltage until it settles back to cut voltage of about 130 volts. The THCAD can handle the over voltage.

Hi Rodw,

My automation card divider is 50:1 by default but can be set to 80:1, 40:1, 30:1, 20:1, and 16.7:1. Would you still suggest the 20:1 or would the default 50:1 work just as well?

 As you mentioned before usb to rs485 is an option, I will go that way until I will be able to spend the next bucks for an ethercat VFD.

I think once you get that going, you will find it works so well, you will never go to an ethercat VFD.
Does Optidrive have a separate ethercat interface module for your VFD? A number of manufacturers do.

You don't need a relay as your card has 2 amp relays built in to the high current outputs, Use one for the torch on. Adding a relay would just add an additional failure point and add some lag into the signal.
I think your plasma has the same divider as the TD  A120 I had. In which case, use a 30:1 divider without any scaling resistors on the THCAD's 10 volt scale. If you do have a 20:1 divider (I didn't)  you could use that. set the frequency divider to 1/32 and scale the sticker frequency by the same amount when configuring qtplasmac
You do need to use a pull down resistor on the ArcOK input which is discussed in the QTP manual.

oops here is the new file.
