output-15 startup error

Ive started trying to get this EMCO running and its getting there. while trying to start LinuxCNC, It says that hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.output-15 does not exist. One of my buddies helping with this said it is most likely a syntax error and to figure out what output 15 does and that I might not even need it and to just turn it into a comment. I am getting confused with what could be wrong as it looks fine in the HAL. anything helps!

Thanks,
Wally

Output 15 is the first output mentioned in the HAL on the 7i76.

The most likely explanation is that there is no field-ppwer supplied to the 7i76, so the 7i76 internal logic is not active and the 7i76 GPIO has not been created.

Comment out any offending lines so your config runs and while it is running open a terminal and say
This will give you a text file with a list of all the pins present and assuming you have field power you will get all the 7i76 pins too if not only the 5i25 pins will show up.

just tried to comment out that line and it still terminated with error

Same error or different?

Talking about this line changed from:
net machine-is-on hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.output-15
to:
#net machine-is-on hm2_5i25.0.7i76.0.0.output-15

I changed the line to a comment exactly the same as your example and got the same error

the number at the end of the "does not exist" turns from a 3606 when I comment it out to a 3961 when I return it to original.

Can you copy and paste the exact error and attach the changed hal file?

I repeat: Do you have field-power connected to the 7i76?

no, I don't believe I do.

Here is the entire error doc
