Thanks for the reply - didn't get a notification of it, sorry for taking a little while to respond.

Okay noted, I will do my best to configure a cia402.hal file instead of the method i've been doing it...

but good news is that i've been able to move the drive to an "OP"erational state. very happy with even this little progress haha. will post my cia402.hal once i've got it to compile.

Mill as lathe with probebasic

Category: QtPyVCP

can't imagine why not. is this a traditional xyz mill? I have not done this in PB before, but you may be able to simply go into the custom_config.yml and expand the mills tool table columns to include the X and Y offsets and use those for setting up your lathe tools to align them with the work centerline. I can confirm when using stationary offset mounted touch probes this works great. I think if you are just looking to do simple turning (actual turning in X and Z axis only like a traditional lathe) that this would work in that manner.

you may need to adjust the turning post to call tools as a mill post would in order to utilize those X and Y offsets.

I think that the dro control box section will likely soon become a user tab module that can be setup per the users requirement and kept in the config folder. seems too many configurations to keep up with otherwise and really taxes the ui build having to keep so many dro's running and active.

I will take a look and see what would be required for that.

So far, this method is not working well.
Nothing happens when I load the NGC. For now, I would like to try a different method.

I am considering creating an action button that retrieves the first WSC from the loaded NGC and sends it to the MDI. ...

If I am not mistaken then 600 vertical is not enough for the regular version, maybe this custom config for 800x600 helps:

Typically you want to use the cia402 component with such a drive.
The cia402 component is in your installation already, here is an
example of how to set it up in  hal.

RTelligent EtherCAT Servo Drive Setup: RS750E

Category: EtherCAT

Good day

I am currently trying to configure my linuxcnc to communicate with an RTelligent (Shenzhen Ruitech) RS750E AC Servo Drive. 

So far, I think I've correctly compiled an ethercat-conf.xml file for the single slave (for now) (from here) but am struggling with any further steps. I can successfully read registers (ie cia-controlword) and things like that, I can attempt to write them - by setting pins eg setp lcec.0.0.cia-controlword 15, but there is no change in cia-statusword. The same applies for opmode. 

Additionally, my drive never seems to exit PREOP. sudo ethercat states -p0 OP doesn't change state from PREOP. I figure that there is something I might need to do with registers, either in a specific order, or through the PC software (RSConfigurator), but the latter is rather confusing and i've had no success attempting such. I can change it to and from INIT (without errors) to PREOP (without errors), but as soon as I try SAFEOP or OP it stalls back to PREOP and has an error flag. I assume this means my XML might be wrong. 
I've also attempted to set up my ethercat.hal and changed the joint/axis info in my axis-edited.ini, but still no change occurs on the drive or servo. 

I cannot find any documentation on these AC servo drives from RTelligent here, but I will also be sending their support a ticket to see if they can help me. The appropriate files are below:

Category: Basic Configuration

Personally, i would not update if everything is working properly, i still have plenty of machines running 10.04.
The main reason being, 10.04 uses RTAI kernel, while everything after Wheezy uses RT-Preempt kernel that is better suited to new PC's, so it might limit the step rate you can get/machine speed, sometimes a lot.
-
If you still want to move ahead, upload the old and the new configs here.
Usually the wizard will convert working configs form 2.5-2.7 to 2.8-2.9 without issues the first time you run the old config, so what happened? Does the machine have non standard ...something or anything?
Right click on the old .ini file, choose open with, type linuxcnc near the bottom of that window, click OK, what happens?

Calling next subroutine messes up offsets

Category: General LinuxCNC Questions

The 'F' word in the 'G0' line does indeed only apply to G1, G2, G3 moves. The F value is retained though and some of the first G1 moves in the subroutines are actually missing the F word which seems a bit odd but it works I guess.:
eg line N3620
N3570  (Engrave) 
N3571  O103 SUB
N3580  G0 X0 Y0 Z1.0 
N3590  G0 Z0.0
N3591  M01
N3600  G0 X-0.7617 Y-1.2343 
N3610  G0 Z0.8681 
N3620  G1 X-0.7617 Y-1.2343 Z-0.0500 
N3630  G1 X-0.7983 Y-1.2510 Z-0.0500 F70.0000


G92 affects all coordinate systems, this can be handy but it can also be a bit confusing.
linuxcnc.org/docs/html/gcode/g-code.html#gcode:g92


The difficulty I am having is moving from the end of the 4th position of the first subroutine back to the start (first) position of the second subroutine (o103) and repositioning the Z axis.


The first round (o100) is done with 'G92 Z0.75' while the second (o103) is done with 'G92 Z0.0'. It seems that there is no tool-length offset used (ie no G43). I don't know what your tool change work flow is but this would require that the tools used have exactly the same length OR the G92 offset is used to compensate for different tool-length, which would be a somewhat odd way of doing things.

Hi, the config generator looks like a helpful tool. I have one Rtelligent ECT60 stepper drive running and I now need to figure out how to add two Rtelligent RS750E AC servo drives.

I apologize for asking such a simple question, but I am not sure how to run the lcec-configgen. Maybe I don't have it installed. I am clearly inexperienced, so I could be missing something simple.

I appreciate everyone's help on the forum.

I've attached a picture of my terminal and my version of Ethercat. My linuxCNC version is 2.9.2

@Murphy I'm not sure if I understood, when you ping to change, are you talking about Ethernet communication? If so, what is the relationship between being able to upload Remora to the cloud? Sorry for my lack of understanding, I'm just trying to understand, because Ethernet communication is one communication, and CMSIS DAP via USB is not another? Or do I have to configure an address for the USB CMSIS DAP

Excellent! I just got my new mill converted to LinuxCNC, and was thinking that maybe I should tackle the gui before going too much further. Did a search to see how you were doing, and look! A new release. :-) I like the idea of starting with an axis-style gui -- after all, it's what I'm used to.

Looking forward to giving it a try!
