Subject: [Emc-users] A hal question?

Greetings; I am trying to reduce the f/r error in an ATS667 based
encoder.

The index pulse  is turned upside down by a reversal of spindel
direction.  Tts the nature of the beast to remain in this stable
state until the approach of the triggering ferrous metal causes
the first reversal which the edge ignores, and then goes back true
or false as the ferrous piece crosses the center.

So I break into the index signal path with a comp looking at the
velocity to generate an nearly instant direction signal and use it
to diddle an xor which will restore the upside down index signal
to same side up, this is then fed to an edge detector which fires
on the positive going edge, giving a consistent to the degree
reset back to the encoder regardless of spindle direction.

Does anyone see any problems with that?  The reversal of the pulse
at the spindle reverse point should become the out of time and
possible way early pulse that sets it up to actually trigger as
the piece crosses the center of the ATS667. According to my
thinking anyway.

Poke it full of holes if I'm wrong.

No index patching is needed as the index is only looked at when
going in one direction

which I would naturally define as a + output at velocity-out?

The text reads like it resets the counter to zero everytime this
index pulse goes true, although that isn't stated, could be false.
Confusing to be sure, so which edge is the active edge when waiting
to start a G76 or G33.1?  rising or falling? the first edge as the
index piece is approaching could have have some timing error, while
the 2nd edge as the pole piece crosses the centerline of the hall
elements should be pretty accurate.

At the FPGA pin the default index polarity is falling edge (but you
can change this with the index_invert pin)

Doesn't exist.  Or is this one of the fixes in the latest 7i90.zip?
Its always been there

on a 7i90 encoder 0 it should be

hm2_7i90.0.encoder.00.index-invert


Thank you Peter. Stay safe now.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
