I will be back at work in a few weeks, and i can look up the manuals for it then. These older ones can be tricky to find digitally, but sometimes one gets lucky.

I am pretty sure the drives need to be in ethercat OP state before they start to act on cia402 commands/changes.
Read/write of PDOs is only in OP state. You can read and write SDOs with "ethercat upload/download " to modify config in PREOP.
lcec and ethercat-conf.xml should bring the slaves to OP state.

Debugging tool is apart from the normal text output from linuxcnc, the system log;
"sudo dmesg" for recent messages and "journalctl" for the history.
Ethercat server puts out quite some informational, warnings and error messages there.
Debug output can be had with the "ethercat debug 1" but then the problem is to decipher that. "ethercat debug 0" resets.

Sadly not. At least so far. But i saw it in motion and for Y both axis where moving. Also when i looked behind the work envelope where the column is traveling i could see the y and x at an angle ( i assume 60° between them). You can see it even a little bit on the picture if the ATC I've posted ealier.

But concluding i dont need to switch the kinematics between Mill and Lathe. That makes things easier. Its year 1998 Integrex 200Y

Sounds like the MAC/cardname/ipaddress/netmask EEPROM has not been programmed

That is correct. The ones i have worked on are mostly newer ones and have straight X and Y axis. Do you have the manuals for it? All the geometry should be specified there. What year is it?

Building 7i92 firmware for a custom board. I've had to play around with

Turn on board everything seems ok, user leds count packets
IP set to 192.168.1.121
Responds to pings
When jumpered for bootp an ip address is received and I can ping it.

This has me stumped 7i92 mac is ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

$ mesaflash --device 7i92 --addr 192.168.1.121 --verbose
Unsupported ethernet device ��������������������z at 192.168.1.121
No 7I92 board found

��������������������z bit will change on each mesaflash run

I'm guessing the data in the last packet isn't right.

 

hello,

this topic is quite complex if you dive in it.
First of all, the mentioned github repo is intended for 3d printing, so maybe thats why it works with positive coordinates, which is usual for 3d printers.

i would recommend checking out DauntlessAq fork and PR, where he corrected some issues:
github.com/scottalford75/LinuxCNC-3D-Printing/pull/8

There is description of the issues.
 

I would like to suggest a feature to fine tune ohmic probing.
Problem: When I set the probe height to an optimal setting for a thin steel setting, it will be too low for thicker steel, and set for thick steel it has excess travel.
My solution would be to add the material thickness to the plasmac.probe-start-height.
Keep the probe height setting function the same, but add a new setting into each material entry for material thickness.
To try to see if it would work, I used the puddle jump delay setting and used the sum2 function to add that number to the probe height. It seemed to work as expected.
With material thickness added the probe height should be more consistent with the top of the material.

This is the code I added to the custom_postgui.hal file.

Thanks, that's exactly what I'm looking for. We'll be experimenting with it.

I know the Y axis is interpolated. So for a straight Y movement 90° to X the X axis need to move as well. Is that correct ?

yes switch will be necessary but my pain was that mixing stuff ... and therefore I erase all switches out to separation possible cases of mixing...

I will try and let you know

thanks

The ? would always be Y. I havent worked on these for a while, but generally, axes stay the same when shifting between lathe and mill on mazaks, but geometry switches between diametral/radial.

Fun project! Integrex's are great machines!

Bonjour,

J'ai câblé un switch sur le pin d'entrée n° 11 de ma carte d'axes.
Je voudrais exploiter cette entrée dans un programme avec la condition if.

Comment faire pour affecter cette entrée à une variable utilisateur, par exemple 40 ?

La ligne pour cette entrée dans le fichier hal :
net din-01  <= parport.0.pin-11-in
La ligne du programme avec if
o100 if [#40  EQ 1]

Merci d'avance

 

Excuse my crude model of the Integrex, but could someone tell me if my axis naming is correct for a lathe configuration?
And how is the axis called with the "?". Of Course for a Mill configuration it would change. Would be happy for input

Hi all!

I have been trying to get a Z compensation thingy working for a while. 

github.com/scottalford75/LinuxCNC-3D-Pri.../master/compensation

I have gotten the script working, in the way that it is incorporated in LinuxCNC, and it reads my probe data, sorta. I have two problems with it.

First problem: It doesnt read negative coordinates in X and Y. It only understands lower left corner being zero in the gcode. Which is a problem, since my machine zero is in center of worktable, and i make all my gcode with zero in center. I have worked like that for ages, and i dont feel like changing my workflow. 

Second problem: The outputed coordinates only work from machine zero. It doesnt follow if i have a work offset active. 

Has anyone had the same problems? This is over my skill level, and i cant get it to work.

I am attaching a number of files. Compensation.py is the script i am using now. probe-results.txt has only positive coordinates and works. probe-results2.txt has both negative and positive, and does not work. Or, it works for a while if i only move in positive area, but after a while the whole compensation just dies and i have to restart LinuxCNC. Z_level_compensation.py is a file i found in another thread here, that i believe morley(?) has modified. It is based on the script i am currently using, but it looks like work offset has been fixed. I have not gotten this script to work on my system, but maybe someone can tell me how to fix my problems based on that.
