Did you try another LAN cable?
Is the machine and the PC grounded properly?
Use a DVM and measure between Mesa 24V GND and machine case, in AC mode, while the machine is ON, post result.

Those seem like two separate issues, one remap is not doing OK and the other complaining about gcode, are you running the default "Linux CNC" gcode?

<pdoEntry idx="60FD" subIdx="2" bitLen="32" halType="complex">

does control the enable - or at least whatever that line in the object dictionary refers to.

I have no problem sending values to the drive, and can change the value by changing the bits and 'padding' in xml file.

What I don't know is which bit(s) - what value - the drive requires to turn the outputs on.  As I mentioned earlier I've mapped bits 1 & 2 to both sub-index 1 and sub-index 2 and turned both 'on.'  Tried the same thing for bits 16 & 17.

I guess I could just brute-force it and try ALL the 32 bits for botrh sub-indexes.

Ist die machine ge-erdet?
Ist die PC ge-erdet?
Beiden mussen sein.
Lauf gcode ohne die spindel (spindel auss geschaltet), pasiert die selbe fehler?

Sounds like host or 7I76E issues

Whats does

ip a

report?

oops should be
Code:
<pdoEntry idx="60FD" subIdx="1" bitLen="32" halType="complex">

Also
<pdoEntry idx="60FD" subIdx="2" bitLen="32" halType="complex"> seems like it will control whether the IO is enabled or not

To test output , connect one output to your coolant in hal and see if it triggers.

ok, seems its like
Code:
<syncManager idx="3" dir="in"> <pdo idx="1a00"> ....... <pdoEntry idx="60FD" subIdx="0" bitLen="32" halType="complex"> <complexEntry bitLen="1" halPin="CW-limit" halType="bit"/> <complexEntry bitLen="1" halPin="CCW-limit" halType="bit"/> <complexEntry bitLen="1" halPin="in-home" halType="bit"/> <complexEntry bitLen="13"/> <complexEntry bitLen="1" halPin="in-1" halType="bit"/> <complexEntry bitLen="1" halPin="in-2" halType="bit"/> <complexEntry bitLen="1" halPin="in-3" halType="bit"/> <complexEntry bitLen="1" halPin="in-4" halType="bit"/> <complexEntry bitLen="1" halPin="in-5" halType="bit"/> <complexEntry bitLen="1" halPin="in-6" halType="bit"/> <complexEntry bitLen="10"/> </pdoEntry> </pdo>

Keep the rest of the entries there. Things like status words are important
Also make sure the total bits adds up to 32, pad out unused ones

What does:

sudo chrt 99 ping -i .001 -q -c 60000 [card_ip_address]

report? (it will run 1 minute then print statistics)

[card_ip_address] is either 10.10.10.10 or 192.168.1.121 depending on 7I76e jumpering

type:
ethercat pdos > pdos.txt
ethercat sdos > sdos.txt
and share the output here.

Probably something like
Code:
<pdoEntry idx="60FE" subIdx="1" bitLen="16" halType="complex"> <complexEntry bitLen="1" halPin="out-1" halType="bit"/> <complexEntry bitLen="1" halPin="out-2" halType="bit"/> <complexEntry bitLen="14"/> </pdoEntry> also adapted from my GitHub example

Thanks Rod, I found another example - which pointed me to your GH example.  I've now got the XML and HAL configured like your example, and evern figured out how to use the "sub-index" stuff.

Remaining problem is that the manual is missing the bit values for digital outputs.

There's no corresponding chart or description for index 60FE like there is for the inputs.

I can 'talk' to the 60FEh address and write values - and see them change in the tuning software - but I've no idea what values turn on/off the outputs.

 

Based on the two output-related sub-indexes I'm also wondering if there's some requirement to first enable the outputs, then activate them.

I checked the OEM servo manufacturer's manual and no luck (JSS servos - JSS715N).

I tried bits 1 & 2, as well as bits 16 & 17 - based on the now-obsolete T7/leadshine servos.  Wild chance, but no dice.

Also tried turning both sub-indexes on, still no joy.

I've emailed Stepperonline, no response yet.

Anyone have a suggestion?
