Subject: Re: [Emc-users] pncconf error under 2.7.14
Peter,
I have a separate 24V 2.5amp DIN rail power supply that powers fieldIO and a
small pcb power supply (7805 plus a couple caps) that comes off of it to
supply 5v power. I had the jumper in the wrong position for separate powers
for field IO and separate 5v power. I changed that jumper. I was getting
both oranges LEDs lit before and after the change, but could that have
caused a problem?
Its not likely but if you supply external 5V and you have the jumpers wrong
you can possibly damage the 5I25 card or the cable (thats why theres a warning
in the manual) That said, a 7805 is not likely to have enough current
to do any real damage
I checked all the other jumpers on both boards and everything is now
correct. I have a short DB25M to DB25F ribbon cable to bring the 7i76 out to
the back of the cabinet. I disconnected it and connected the 6ft 25pin DB25m
to DB25m cable direct from the 5i25 to the 7i76 but no change in behavior.
I noticed that in pncconf there are no tabs for TB2 or TB3. Also on TB4
there are no lines for SPINDLE-ENA or SPINDLE-DIR. Is that normal?
I would not worry about pncconf at this point, if you have no 7I76 pins its
likely a hardware or firmware setup issue
I bought the 5i25/7i76 pair directly from you so I assume that it has the
correct firmware???
I would check just to make sure
sudo mesaflash --device 5i25 --readhmid
Did you get the DB25 M-M cable from us also?
Are 7I76 W1 and W3 in the left hand positions?
What else can I do?
Alan

So what is the remedy for this?
typical issues:
No or too low field power
No 5V power
5I25 / 7I76 5V power options dont match
wrong firmware on 5I25
7I76 run/setup jumper in setup position
7I76 on wrong 5I25 connector
wrong cable

Actually rather than a pncconf error, this sounds more like the 7I76's I/O
section is not found so no 7i76 pins will be present in hal
