 Hi .
I recently purchased HCFA HN-Y7FB040A-S servos. Linuxcnc installation with Ethercat went well, but I don't know what to do next. How to configure it all. I've been working on it for a long time and nothing comes to mind. I'm mainly interested in the .xml file, how to go about it.

I received a configuration file from the manufacturer, but what to do with it next?
I'm new to ethercat. If I don't have a problem configuring mesa or lpt cards, I don't know how to deal with ethercat.
I have a project to complete to build my own machine and I would like to use these servos in it.
Please help. I'll be happy to return the favor.

 

The setting of the Pid regulator seems not good

7c81 configuration with 7I77 on P1, MX4660 on P2 and just GPIO on P7:

 
 

Currently I'm using that:
freeby.mesanet.com/7c81_mx4660x2d.zip

Can I ask You to make it in way:
P1 = 7i77
P2 = MX4660
P7 = GPIO
if it's not plenty of work?
I'm asking because that will help me with arrange space in cabinet.
Thank You in advance

and in connection with photos above
I manually added config for pncconf for 7c81 and 7i77 and mx4660 but something is wrong in comparision to 5i25 + 7i77:
  i cant find where is mistake, everything looks ok, maybe You know?
 

I'm not sure what you are suggesting

What firmware are you using currently?

I would probably make firmware something like

P1 = MX4660
P2 = 7I77
P7 = GPIO
 

Wow!!!

do you have a servo driver that can work in two independent modes step/dir (position), and analog input (velocity mode)? take a look at the video, I did it by introducing ``A `` as standard axis for changing the position, and the motor rotates like a classic lathe through the gcode M3 ``S``command by analog signal.

A bad 40 pin cable would cause different types of errors
(the 7C81 itself would cause errors)

Might be bad 7C81, bad 7I76, or bad 26 pin cable.
mis-jumpering is unlikely to cause damage.

Do the 7I76 step/dir outputs work? That would be a quick test
of the firmware, cable, 7C81 and 7I76
 

Cant do this anymore bye all wrote:

Ahh I messed up there my apologies.
 

I also had forgotten about the pin file options and that most of the
newer ones show daughterboard pinouts. I only noticed when I looked
at the actual distributed files.

The difference is this:

mesaflash --device 7I97t --addr [card_ip_address] --readhmid > 7i97t.pin

mesaflash --device 7I97t --addr [card_ip_address] --dbname3 7i85 --readhmid > 7i97t.pin

I edited num_encoder to be 1.
I just used pncconfig to create a new 5i25 file set and then made the changes for the 7c81.
I am still getting the error message on "hm2_7c81.0.7i76.0.0.output-00" that this pin doesn't exist.
I think I will order a new 40 pin cable to see if that fixes the problem.
Is it possible that the 7i76 could have been damaged when the power jumper was misconfigured?
The other thing that I could try would be to take the 5i25 files over to my machine that actually has a 5i25/7i76 pair and see if it will load there.
If I sent you the .ini file and the .hal file could you see if there is anything obviously wrong?

Shouldn't be much different from a hal_button,
open panel in glade add 'HAL_ToggleButton' and assign some ID (eg 'hal_togglebutton1') to it, save
Start config, open 'Halshow' and the pin should be visible as 'testpanel.hal_togglebutton1'

Ahh I messed up there my apologies.

I'll appreciate it. I'd like to connect via P1 because i leave it for encoders in future and time has come (based on other users experience). I already use P2 and P7 for communication with mx4660.I've tried to add configuration to pncconf but TXEN2 TXDATA2 and RXDATA2 don't want appear, do someone know what I'm doing wrong?

This is great now. I'm using the test panel you sent. I can see the normal buttons in Hallshow. However, Toogle buttons are not visible in Hallshow. Can you teach me this too?
