As far as I understand you can hook up one of those DB25 daughter cards to the P1 expansion connector.
Just look if something is suitable? I guess the bitfile needs to be changed. I was not able to figure that out. (so far pre-configured ones that were provided by Mesa worked for me)

Some people used Modbus I/O expansion, I think that goes on the RS485 pins of the card. No idea how it works.

Hey chaps,

So I'm running out of outputs on my mesa 7i95t I have loads of inputs free. 

So my question is can the input pins be used as outputs?  If so how.

I have 6 ssr outputs on the card all are used for loads such as solenoids and relays.

I now need outputs (24v) for my drivers enable/alarm clearing functions.

I have ordered a 5 axis bob but it seems they are all inputs not outputs.

Any suggestions on how to get more 24v outputs? 

Thanks. Yes. This is what I have. Thank you.

Is this enough?

For that board to work with the inputs you will have to connect a 12-24V supply to the terminals on the relay side of the board.

 I am using byte2bot and currently trying to use homing. I pressed the limit switch, but it still doesn’t trigger the homing. 
Regardless of whether I press the limit switch or not, it always returns TRUE.(Like the attached picture.)
Here are my HAL and INI files.

Hi Kam,
thanks

the warning and BadWindow stuff can be ignored

Cheers

controlword and statusword are part of the cia402 standard. We write to control word and read the results in status word. Just look at the examples and make sure you have the ones that connect to cia402.comp.

Use AI to get a tutorial on cia402 state machine. your manual is saying there is a 32 bit value (2 x 16 bit values) and it rx (receives a value) so it is an S32 in pin in hal
 

cool entered those. no change. (which i assume is expected)

I am looking at these hex things. where do i find the values? in the drive manual it lists them and then says the range.

eample:

<pdoEntry idx="6040" subIdx="00" bitLen="16" halPin="cia-controlword" halType="u32"/>
<pdoEntry idx="6060" subIdx="00" bitLen="8" halPin="opmode" halType="s32"/>
