CT identifies it as Mesa 7I92 and suggests corresponding files for upload.
I uploaded several files to it as a test. It works fine.
Test assembled on the table CNC program moves the motor + outputs and inputs work.

Hi,

I was wondering if any could give some insight on this one.  I tried to use the M6 subroutine that orangecat made.  I was able to get the probe working, change the ini and hal files accordingly.  I got to the point were the tool would probe, but my tool table won't populate with that number.  When I debug the 5063 in mdi I get ###### not an actual number, however the 5063 variable will show up in the var file in the config folder as a function of the 38.2 probing routine as an actual number.  I tried to debug other variables like 5181 which is the x position for the G30.1 command and although the var table in the config folder would populate with a number, when I debug the 5181 in mdi I still get #####.  I'm assuming the debug should yield the same number in the var file and not this symbol #####?  Which might be one of the reasons my tooltable is not populating?  I'm happy to provide any files, youtube videos, or anything else needed to help solve this problem.  I've learned a lot in the last month trying to solve this problem, any advice is much appreciated. 

Thank you in advance.  

Are you really using 2.8.4 rather than 2.9.4?

This problem was fixed in 2.9.5. Do you have a good reason not to update?

(rather than 2.9.5 you should probably use 2.9.7. See:
forum.linuxcnc.org/21-axis/57364-axis-co...-9-6?start=10#336658 )

Yep, consider that when static, a 5A stepmotor may only drop 3 VDC so ~15W.
So with a 48V driver, only about 400 mA at 48V is needed to get 5A at the motor.

 

Think of it as a buck converter...

First, it's still not clear whether you have a 7I92 or 7I92T(x)

The support software zip file that has all the sources and project files
needed to build firmware files is downloadable from Mesa's webstore
(in the specification tab for the appropriate card)

The Leadshine manual I read (prior) says this:

Regulated or Unregulated Power Supply
Both regulated and unregulated power supplies can be used to supply the Driver. However,
unregulated power supplies are preferred due to their ability to withstand current surge. If regulated
power supplies (such as most switching supplies.) are indeed used, it is important to have large
current output rating to avoid problems like current clamp, for example using 4A supply for 3A
motor-Driver operation. On the other hand, if unregulated supply is used, one may use a power
supply of lower current rating than that of motor (typically 50%～70% of motor current). The reason
is that the Driver draws current from the power supply capacitor of the unregulated supply only
during the ON duration of the PWM cycle, but not during the OFF duration. Therefore, the average
current withdrawn from power supply is considerably less than motor current. For example, two 3A
motors can be well supplied by one power supply of 4A rating.

Perhaps Leadshine is a bit too conservative, I guess you can get away with even less power supply capacity.

First, make sure what 7i92 you have, there is 7i92/7i92M/etc, then there is 7i92T/7i92TM/etc, meaning with T and without T, they have the same functionality, but use different FPGA so flashing the wrong firmware is not good.
They always have a sticker on the back with the model written.

Young??? I am 55!
And the dog got banned from the shop for a while as i got tired of monitoring her so she does not pee at everything!

The cutting machines and the many, many other things are great! Who is this young gentleman with the pretty white hair, and where is the dog? Thanks and have a good time!

Hi I found a 7I92_7I76x1dpl.bit which would be good.According to its description, it also has 2 PWM outputs onP2 7-8 I/O.Unfortunately, the description and reality are not the same.It doesn't have a PWM output.
The card has 2 IDC 26 connectors.
1 connector standard LPT assignment 1-25. 26 pins +5V
2 connectors 1-17 pin input 18-25 GND 26 pin +5V

Where can I get the 7I92_xxx.vhd files?

I assume you have a 7I92T{x}, the 7I92 uses a Xilinx tool chain, not Efinix

Can you post the pinout of your expansion card?

Note that pinouts are more flexible than you may think
because of the ability to trade off GPIO with specific pin functions,
so its likely that if you expansion card has a parallel port like pinout
that an existing configuration will work.

In the source, the files that determine the configuration pinout
are all named PIN_xxxxxx.vhd. taking an existing one of these files,
copying it to new file, the editing the new file to suit is the normal
procedure to create a new configuration. In addition to creating new
pinout file, the new pinout file needs to be added to the project
and included in the top level source.
 

Guess it's more prudent to look at the entire signal.

It should link two pins like this:

 

of course the second pin wont be qtplasmac.cut_feed_rate-f  It will be whatever the plasmac equivalent was (should be similar)

Was hoping for a 0 feed rate as that's the easiest thing.

You could have them use Halshow to "SHOW" the plasmac.cut-feed-rate pin.  It should look something like this:

 

If it looks like this, then the pin has been unlinked (or is not being linked) for some reason:

 

If it looks like the first picture you could have them add it to the WATCH section and change materials and see if the pin ever shows anything other than 0.  

If it looks like the second picture then you need to investigate why it's not being linked.  

You could have them temporarily link it with the following command in the HAL command: section of Halshow:

It should work after that (for that session)

Hallo,
EOE ist im igh ethercat driver nicht funktionstüchtig( driver < 1.7 ?) und sollte beim kompilieren deaktiviert werden.
