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

ethercat pdos > pdos.txt

Probably something like

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?

Es handelt sich um LinuxCNC uspace 2.9.x

You don't need bitslice, just do it in the xml  NOte there are some unused bits in this example

I don’t think it is Plasma/EMI related. My plasma cutter was not connected or turned on.

Hallo, 
ich habe mein System auf einem Lenovo ThinCentre 710 mit i3 aufgesetzt, darauf läuft das aktuelle LinuxCNC 2.9.6/7/8 (alle 3 mit gleichem Problem). Falls es irgendwie hilft, habe ich meine Config mal angehängt.

Mein Problem ist, dass meistens alles sauber funtioniert, wenn ich aber einen längeren Fräsvorgang (5-10 Minuten) am Laufen habe, gelegentlich die gesamte Software einfriert - nur die Spindel wird nicht gestoppt und die Maus lässt sich noch bewegen. Alles an Bewegung friert ein und die Software lässt sich nicht beenden. Es hilft nur noch, den Ein-/Aus-Schalter so lange zu drücken, bis das System abschaltet und dann alles neu hoch zu fahren, "homen" und wider von vorne, in der Hoffnung, dass es dann durchläuft.

Hat jemand Ideen, wie ich das Problem untersuchen, debuggen, oder gar beseitigen kann? Ich stehe wie Ochs vor'm Berg... Ich habe den Verdacht, dass es irgendetwas mit "verpennten" Interrupts zu tun haben könnte, weiß aber nicht, wie ich das untersuchen kann.

Vielen Dank im Vorraus!
Chris

probably a Beckhof EK1100 and 2 x EL1008 will look after your inputs. you might need to add EL2008 for any outputs. an EL5151 if you need an encoder input for spindle
 

Is this possibly Plasma/EMI related?

That is, do you still get communication loss when the Plasma source is off?

I can't help with a fix, but it might help to work out where the fix belongs.
Try plotting the position-cmd in Halscope to see if the problem is in the commands from the WHB or is inside HAL itself.

I'm attaching a short video and my configuration files. I've been trying to use Halscope but I still don't quite understand it. Tomorrow with more time I'll give it another try.

  I ran pnconf wizard and made a configuration for my CNC plasma table. I am able to home and jog my machine for about a minute until I get this error. 
It seems like the ethernet connection is disconnecting on its own somehow. Any ideas on how I could get the ethernet to stay connected so I can use my machine.

I have a probe that bounces during the G0 move away after probing.

I replaced the optocoupler, and the output is working again.I attempted to set up the tool changer. Unfortunately, I keep receiving the following error messages when starting LinuxCNC. Attached is my .ini file.
