I bought an encoder so I could play with it and learn Linux CNC. I found that hostmot2 has a lot of PINs and PARAMETERS for the encoder.
Code:
Component Pins:
Owner Type Dir Value Name
11 s32 OUT -114937 hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.count
11 s32 OUT 0 hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.count-latched
11 bit I/O FALSE hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.index-enable
11 bit OUT FALSE hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.input-a
11 bit OUT FALSE hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.input-b
11 bit OUT TRUE hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.input-index
11 bit IN FALSE hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.latch-enable
11 bit IN FALSE hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.latch-polarity
11 float OUT -114937 hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.position
11 float OUT 0 hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.position-latched
11 bit OUT FALSE hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.quad-error
11 bit IN FALSE hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.quad-error-enable
11 s32 OUT -113080 hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.rawcounts
11 s32 OUT 1857 hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.rawlatch
11 bit IN FALSE hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.reset
11 float OUT 0 hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.velocity
11 float OUT 0 hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.velocity-rpm
11 u32 IN 0x017D7840 hm2_7i96.0.encoder.sample-frequency
11 s32 IN -1 hm2_7i96.0.encoder.timer-number
Parameters:
Owner Type Dir Value Name
11 bit RW FALSE hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.counter-mode
11 bit RW TRUE hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.filter
11 bit RW FALSE hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.index-invert
11 bit RW FALSE hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.index-mask
11 bit RW FALSE hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.index-mask-invert
11 float RW 1 hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.scale
11 float RW 0.5 hm2_7i96.0.encoder.00.vel-timeout
Unfortunately, I can only estimate the meaning of some PINs and PARAMETERS. Is there a manual or help that I can study? I am mechanical designer.
