I don't think I've lost the network.
I've selected the pci card to connect to my network (in fact, I can normally access internet).
BTW, this evening (here's almost 6 pm) I hope to make another try (if my wife allow me image missing /media/kunena/emoticons/unsure.png)

Sounds all sensible to me but I really don't feel competent to comment on the proposed path.
I certainly like the structured approach of your initiative, that is something that has been sorely lacking in other attempts.
I think/hope that Rob will be able to give an educated opinion on it and shape it into a concrete roadmap.

Note that Mitsubishi SSCNET requires a servo cycle <= 222us
forum.linuxcnc.org/9-installing-linuxcnc...cnet?start=70#256576
 

defenetly is great to have something faster then 1ms .. ethercat can run at 50us with 16axis but this complex calculations are far slower for now 

I think 250us is very pretty goal (common industrial standard) at any hardware and then reduce it based at used hardware 

HAL file (with @andypugh suggestion) attached, as well as current ini file

I am new to this forum. I read a post where he Addis he was retrofitting a Kuhlmann machine with new electronics. I am in United States and have a Kuhlmann with a burnt board and need to get it running again. I think he might can give me some direction.

@meister, thanks.
I can only get linuxcnc top load if I revert to my original HAL, and with your suggestion the results of the grep spindle command are as in the screenshot 

Hello I am new to this forum, but I have a Kuhlmann Engraver and a board died. I am looking for anyone who has information about converting it with new software and controllers.

 

Ruckig, I think we just need the math based on the math paper I think. Don't actually need to build the thing inside linuxcnc.
I proposed a minimum of 250us because that's what other users here expressed, otherwise you could run ruckig in the servo, but I thought better keep it out, even if advertised as 50us, some calculations seems known to exceed this advertisement. The handoff was my concept idea. Inspired by how CPU have predictive branching

my calculation of the DEADBAND value:

pid_setup["DEADBAND"] = round(1 / abs(joint_config["SCALE_OUT"]) * 2, 4)

works for me

Ok so before i am breaking everything do i need something else apart for the hostmot2-firmware/tree/master from the git in order to compile a framework?

In the first file that you send to me PCW you added 4biss chanel insted of 3 and "IOPortTag & x"03" & BISSTag & BISSClkEnPin, -- I/O 16 PIN 13"
i was curious about this line?

I was going for a conf like that for 7i76_7i74biss3d depending on that this line does.

use work.IDROMConst.all;

Do you know of Freecad works for plasma cutting with freecad and linuxcnc?
