Sorry, i thought i filed it in the "German" section. Could someone please move it there?

I've been having a hard time trying to figure out how to get my router's Yaskawa 616g5 vfd connected up and running with my 5i25 - 7i77 setup.
I can't seem to find a good example of the HAL code and I'm not across HAL enough to figure it out for myself. 
Just trying to get the absolute basics working. Spindle on is already connected and working. I just need to figure out the 0-10v output from analogue5.
The VFD can be configured for 0-10v or +-10v. I'll be setting it to 0-10v, no need for it to reverse direction.
I've seen versions with scaling and versions without, versions that set the scaling directly in HAL and others that set the scaling parameters in INI.
As I understand it I shouldn't need any scaling, just SCALE, MAX and MIN values of 24000 and 0 (or maybe 6000, the slowest the spindle is rated for) 

I think I had it close to working at one point but the scaling must have been off. I've not gone as far as connecting the vfd to the 7i77 yet, just probing the output pins on the 7i77 with a multimeter. I was reading 0.4v when the spindle was on and 0 when off but in trying to figure out why the scaling was off on that particular iteration of the HAL file I deleted something and couldn't get LCNC to run. That was about the 15th attempt so I gave up for the day.

Most of the code I've tried to work from has looked like this or some version of it.
If someone has a similar setup and could share their HAL file or give me some direction on the bare bones that are required to get 0-10v working I'd really appreciate it.

ec_generic was not loaded.
After modprobe it I can see slaves
How to autoload it?

 Hi, mal wieder eine Anfänger-Frage... Ich bin mit meiner gerade erst fertig gebauten Fräse bei den ersten Tests und habe mir mal einen Stift eingespannt, um erste Schritte zu machen. Als Übungsobjekt habe ich den LinuxCNC-Schriftzug aus "Axis" genommen und ein paar mal mit unterschiedlichem Vorschub geplottet - F400, F1200, F2400, F3600 und nochmal an der gleichen Position F900.



Beim untersten Schriftzug sieht man, dass unterschiedliche Kurven enstehen (aussen F3600, innen F900). Jetzt frage ich mich natürlich, ob das Schrittfehler sind, oder woher das sonst kommt und was man dagegen tun muss?

Danke im Vorraus
Chris
 

Still struggeling a bit with the homing sequence.
In addition to the home switches I would like to use the encoder index to home. But the index is not found while homing.
So if I write "HOME_USE_INDEX = YES" in the INI, then the homing sequence does not end, even after 4 or 5 motor revolutions the index is not found. The index signal itsself is present- can see it in the oszy, it is also wired to the 7i80, so I assume it is not linked in the HAL correctly.

I hope someone can help me with this issue.

Thanks
Sigi.

 
 

Getting the control box together some is being reused from the original system such as the transformer the motor starters. 

The phrase "again" wasn't referring to a previously asked question, it's just a "turn of phrase".

Like the other members responding here, I am a bit confused as to "MEM" in the context of Linuxcnc, as far as I was aware gcode isn't "stored in memory for reuse" but reread from a loaded file.

Now whilst you appear to frustrated it is no use getting upset when you are not getting the answer you require.

Now if you can give some details regarding your OS, version of Linuxcnc and any configuration files, that would be great. Even better would be a short video of what is happening.

One must remember that this is a multinational forum and whilst some are fluent in English it is not their native tongue.
