converting a tos/intos fngj 40

Category: Milling Machines

Hello,
unfortunately I ran into the next problem :D.
I was tuning my servos, in the calibration tab and saved the settings. The Machine behaved as expected. when i restartet LCNC the movements of the machine were jerky and ended up in positioning errors. So I set the the values back to something that just moves and repeated the process. Saved the settings and even checked the .ini if the values have been stored correctly. no problem. But as soon as i restart LCNC same problem. The values of the second tuning process ended up being more or less the same as the first time.
Am I missing something here?

EDIT:
The problem was me... i messed up something in the ini Seems to work now.

MPG wheel connection - fixed

MPG ENCODER INPUTS

Standard 7I95T firmware provides 4 quadrature MPG encoder inputs on isolated inputs 0 through 7.
Since the input threshold on isolated inputs is about 3V, its best to use sinking inputs (with the input common terminal tied to +5V) with TTL output level MPGs.

INPUT ENCODER 
0     QUADA-0      MPG 0
1     QUADB-0 
 
2     QUADA-1      MPG 1
3     QUADB-1 
 
4     QUADA-2      MPG 2
5     QUADB-2

6     QUADA-3      MPG 3
7     QUADB-3

 


The problem for me is that the MPG hand wheel function for inputs IN 00-07 cannot be selected from the submenu in the PNCONFG menu.
I don't know how to manually edit HAL.

Error in PnC Conf. connecting to Mesa 7i96s

Category: PnCConf Wizard

Hello All,

I am trying to connect a Mesa 7i96s on a new installation.
I do not have much experience with Linux.
Running 6.1.0-40-rt-amd64
This error comes popping up, can any one give me a reason why this is happening?

Thank you,

Antony Manuel.

I think something is wrong with these 2 cfg files
turning.cfg
tool-change.cfg
both don't work, the rest seems ok

File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/ncam.py", line 1914, in from_src
exec(self.attr["init"])
File "<string>", line 2, in <module>   <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Which module??
NameError: name 'parent' is not defined. Did you mean: 'reparent'?

Only in this files, "parent" is used.
I deleted these blocks with "parent" as a test, and it worked. However, I don't know what the potential effects might be; I'm not familiar with this.

Carousel with counts move x amount of pockets

Category: Advanced Configuration

Sorry, but to test I would need to know the actual encoder/step counts that were being fed into the component at the point of failure.

But, I am sure that the code linked above is very wrong, and is likely to be the problem.

Can you:
1) Make sure that you have the linuxcnc-uspace-dev package installed.
2) Download the attached carousel.comp file
3) From the folder where you saved the file
sudo halcompile --install carousel.comp

And see if the problem is fixed?

Important EtherCAT configuration option

Category: EtherCAT

No change needed to linuxcnc rt functions.
There is already the functionality needed to modify the call to nanosleep.
There is now closed issue at github where I look at that github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/issues/3564

What is new is that the option is made an explicit option syncToRefClock.
The old way to invoking the functionality, which works already now, is to
set a negative refSyncClockCycles value. The "-" triggers the function to be on.
This continues to work in linuxcnc spirit, and is now made clear with
both documentation of the function and an explicit option.

iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in probably needs to be true to release the e-stop condition. Is that happening?

Category: EtherCAT

From that example/template I linked to before, you need
net emc-enable => iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in
sets emc-enable 1
in the hal file.
That should allow it to start I think.
That example/template is a working example. You have a bit different naming due to two motors per drive, but other than that it should work.

Werkzeugaufruf nach Toolnummer, nicht nach Pocketnummer

I think that you need to control the tool changer to use the iocontrol.0.tool-prep-pocket number rather than the tool number.
Then you need to set up the tool table to say which tool is in which pocket.

Yes, I am confident that LinuxCNC can do this.

You might prefer to control the machine with a Python script linked to a GUI, but using G-code is also possible.

Adaptive G-code could handle the different punch maps, but Python (which would send G-codes using MDI, probably) might work better.

An example of a GUI that calls adaptive G-code is my lathe macros, here is a link to one of the G-code routines:
github.com/andypugh/LatheMacros/blob/Py3_GTK3/turning.ngc
The subroutine is called with #1, #2 ... #6 specifying various parameters of the actions to be taken.

3) I don't really know the answer. It would probably be automatic at the end of the cycle?

4) The maximum length is much longer than the known universe. (10^308 units) but is practically limited to 15 significant digits, so using mm and 1 micron basic precision it would be approximately 10,000km.

Hey, thanks for that. That did send me in the right direction.  It was a comms problem over TTL to the VFD, now fixed. I see I need to check the HAL files themselves for error message outputs. I keep thinking it is something internal to linuxcnc. I am a seasoned noob, but a noob nonetheless. 

I appreciate the help!

Category: EtherCAT

I had a bit of time today to try things out.
I did as you suggested and commented out the line which includes the basic_sim.tcl line
This produced a different error - it was unable to add all the servo-thread entries
" HAL :  ERROR: thread 'servo-thread' not found  "
 Looking into basic_sim.tcl I can find no instances of servo-thread.
However, basic_sim.tcl includes another file in line 33 called sim_lib.tcl
sim_lib.tcl has servo-thread appear in a lot of places
So it seems like some version of it is needed if we go the route of recycling one of the sim configs as a starting point

Any ideas on how to solve this one?

As a different possible solution, I created a different XYZ machine using two units of 2CS3E-D507, where the first one handles X and Y and the second handles Z. That way we start out totally away from the possible comlplications from the sim universe and directly go to a machine that only has two real, Ethercat devices,

This seems to load OK, but LinuxCNC starts up with the e-stop engaged and won't let me toggle it off.

The configs I created for this are:
ethercat-conf-xml:
<masters>
  <master idx="0" appTimePeriod="1000000" refClockSyncCycles="-1">
    <slave idx="0" type="2CS3E-D507">

Any ideas on how to get this one to start? I tried to make it as basic as possible to avoid anything else distracting things.
To reiterate, it loads correctly and LinuxCNC starts without an error screen popping up, but the e-stop on the top left of the axis interface screen is toggled on when it starts and can't be toggled off.
