OK so the next question is which Ethernet interface is the 7I95T connected to?
(enp8s0 or eno1)

(quick way to check is unplug the 7I95T RJ45 cable and see which interface shows "NO-CARRIER"

copy from terminal :

eebee@debian:~$ ip a

Hi FOrum!

i have a Foxconn A74 Mainboard with 4GB DDR3_Ram, AMD Athlon X2 250 3Ghz.
I tried to upgrade to a graphicscard, i bought an Asus Radeon R7 240 with 2GB of DDR3 Vram.

Now my problems.. The latency overall is the same as with the onboardgraphics, bit i have massive spikes, up to 600000..

I tried: 

1.  Grub "radeon.dpm=0"
no luck, LinuxCNC greets me with a Readerror.

2. Grub "radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.dpm=0"
no luck, LinuxCNC greets me with a Readerror. I checked which driver is used, it was amdgpu, but no luck.

As far as i can tell, the version without any kerneltweaks worked the best for me.

I have 1 Core isolated for LinuxCNC, nothing fancy in grub customized. 
Is there anything i can try to get the graphicscard to work properly?

Thank in advance, greets, TOm

Ich freue mich auch sehr darüber das NativCAM eine aktuelle Überarbeitung bekommt und bin allen dankbar die daran arbeiten.
Ich bin jemand der auf einer CNC umgebauten Langlochbohrmaschine Kleinigkeiten bearbeitet. Das was halt so in einer Tischlerei anfällt...
Hierzu ist NativCAM ein top Programm dafür.
So ähnlich wie WoodWop für eine Homag Maschine. Hier wird auch vieles an der Maschine programmiert.
Ich bin mir sicher, das dieses Programm künftig noch viele Möglichkeiten bietet. Ich werde mir mal die neue Version installieren und mich damit intensiver beschäftigen. Die derzeit installierte Version läuft leider etwas labil.

Danke an alle die diese Software am leben erhalten....

What does the command:

ip a

return?
 

thanks, forgot to mention I already tried these hints also.

I repeated them anyway

board adress changed to 10.10.10.11 and ping to 10.10.10.10 gives destination host unreachable. Ping to 10.10.10.11 is successful.

Netmask for board connection reads 24,( I entered 255.255.255.0 )

I checked " use this connection only for resources on its network" in routes
Nothing shows in this window "Editing ipv4 routes for 7i95t" under Address. Netmask, Gateway and Metric. 7i95t is the name I gave to this connection. I did not add anything here since I have not (yet) been advised to.

For both addresses (10.10.10.10 and 10.10.10.11) mesaflash answers no board found.I am in germany. I remember rumours different regions or countries might require specific ip addresses in order for this to work

The procedure you suggest in this thread does not work for me.
Further aid will be appreciated

thx and best regards

I don't like using backports. Never have used them.
 

"I don't use it" and "I don't like it" are not substantive arguments.
The problem is that there are newer versions of the libraries in the newer release. First of all, it is about Python, in which the authors constantly change or remove something, so even relatively new programs (from a year or two ago) do not want to run, or some of their functions do not work.
However, backports repositories are optional, you can activate them, install only what you need and then turn them off again.

Hi

I do not succeed in flashing any firmware to my 7i95T mesaboard.I can ping it under adress 10.10.10.10. Its debian 13, linuxcnc should be 2.10, I replaced 2.9 to master in etc/apt/sources.list.d. and reinstalled according to post from RodW in this forum. ( I would have to look for the exact thread) Mesact lets me select 7i95t board and ip adress 10.10.10.10 in Machine. Verify board says device found at 10.10.10.10 is not a Mesa Board, not surprisingly Find IP board Results: No ETHER board found.  In terminal mesaflash (version 3.5.11) answers No 7I95T board found . Same behaviour with adress 10.10.10.1. No firmware found, I copied firmware according to instructions in window I/O Map in mesact. Thanks for any assistance

cheers geebee

 

I'm working with a TORNOS-BECHLER ROBOBAR SSF automatic bar feeder mounted on a Tornos Deco 2000/20. It's a base configuration unit — no DPL/MDI operator console, so I'm limited to the front panel (SA2 mode selector, SB1–SB5 buttons, HL1/HL2 indicator lights).Looking for general input from anyone who's operated, maintained, or programmed one of these:

• Tips, gotchas, or common issues you've run into with this feeder, the Deco 2000/20 control in general
• Workarounds for running it without the operator console
• Anything about parameter setup, calibration, or troubleshooting that isn't obvious from the manual
• Sources for parts, documentation, or people who know these machines well

I've got the full manual and electrical schematics on hand, so I can share pages or details if it helps narrow things down.If anyone with real hands-on experience wants to help more in depth — a call — I'm happy to pay for the time. Just reach out. 

It seems that its recognized as a cia402 device. at this point, with LinuxCNC open, open another window and type: halcmd show pin lcec

This will list the pins they were found. You can use them in your hal file and follow the cia402 templates.
I have a feeling you need to command your drive using a mode not supported by the cia402 component. It will need modifying and rebuilding to support it. But I can't help you there as I have no expereince. Someone else may be able to help.

I do know one user using an abb VFD but they are using MODBUS 485 to avoid buying the FECA-01 interface

I found this document:
library.e.abb.com/public/52b4831c464449e..._CiA402_Rev_A_EN.pdf

that is where I found which parameters to set to enable the ethercat module. at the moment I have:
1) set 50.01 parameter to 1 (enable the module)
2) 51.01 to 135 (set to EtherCAT)
3) 50.04 to 4 (reference is speed)
4) 51.02 to 0 (CiA402 drive profile)
and attached is the XML file. I would appreciate any hints on how to get it move the motor (I am looking for basic functions - start/stop and set the rotation speed). any extras, like spindle-at-speed signal, what is motor load etc is optional
I am looking at that manual and it is very confusing for me about the bits of command word and status word. I believe it is handled by cia402 component and I just need to connect proper HAL pins. is that correct?
