I agree that the ModIO and ModBus are different parts of a system that
can be developed and operate in their own realms. But for me, it is too
big a project get my brain around how ModBus works, how different ModBus
units work, and how the different Modbus units should work together. In
trying to eat this elephant, I thought the first spoonful could be the
absolute minimum system to have EMC use one serial port to request one
task at a time to one ModIO, no or minimal buffering, addressing,
scheduling, prioritizing, etc. Since the ModIO could do quite allot in
this configuration, I thought it worth while even if the effort can't be
applied to a proper end product.
I haven't though about this for a while, so it's a bit foggy. But I
think this might work.
An HAL component is needed, which describes a black box in software,
which has pins, bit pins for each ModIO digital IO, float pins for a PWM
output value, bit pins to enable the PWM's, float pins to read the
counters, etc. The HAL component would have a read function and a write
function. The write function would run once every thread cycle and read
one EMC output pin and send its value to the ModIO. On the next cycle it
sends the next pin value, and so on. The read function would do the same
except data goes in the other direction, ModIO to EMC pins. ModBus can
set multiple registers in one frame but that makes things much more
difficult and there is a limited amount of time in each cycle.
The HAL component is a C program with features added to allow C
variables to be seen by EMC as pins. So far, I have a stand-alone C
program to output a command to read a ModIO digital pin (actually a
register):
http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/EMC2/modbus/read_Din-1b.c
http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/EMC2/modbus/
The main features are:
...
/* Fill command buffer */
int cbuffer_bytes = 8;
static unsigned char cmd_buffer[] = {
0x06, // slave address
0x03, // function code, read registers
0x04, // starting register address, high byte
0x7F, // starting register address, low byte
0x00, // number of registers, high byte
0x01, // number of registers, low byte
0x00, // low byte of CRC
0x00, // high byte of CRC
};
...
This is a preformatted message and would need to be changed to set
variables from HAL pins.
and:
...
main () {
prep_serial_port();
int cycles;
for (cycles = 0; cycles <= 100; cycles++) {
printf("Cycle - %3d\n", cycles);
display_cbuffer();
msgCRC = CRC16( &cmd_buffer[ 0 ], 6 );
printf("CRC = %2x\n", msgCRC);
send_cbuffer();
usleep(1);
recv_response();
rmsgCRC = CRC16( &response_buffer[ 0 ], 5 );
printf("Local Rs CRC = %x\n", rmsgCRC);
printf("\n");
}
return;
}
...
This would become part of the read and write functions which would take
the data from the current EMC pin and set or read a feature of the
ModIO.

Actually, I think I had a concern about the fact that the modbus library was LGPL3 instead of LGPL2. I'm also not sure if we want to include the modbus library in the EMC2 source tree (though it's pretty small). I'd like to have a generic modbus infrastructure that allows the user to specify sets of registers, coils and whatnot (there are 4 memory areas in modbus, if I remember correctly) and the HAL pins they correspond to.

Re: [Emc-users] ModIO, Serial IO Interface
I think that using Modbus to operate a vfd for spindle control is ok, but again the discussion is going back to issues of timing critical functions such as motor and drive control. Simple digital I/O functions would be a much better use for modbus. In my view functions such as home and overtravel switches, E-Stop and power on and off circuits as well as feed hold should be handled by the servo board I/O pins. This brings the hardware watchdog into play on motion critical I/O. The modbus would be useful for things like hand wheel pulses (MPG), external tool and pallet changers and other operator push button functions that are not timing critical. Work lights and coolant on off are not timing critical to the motion control. Machine operators are not consistant in the speed at which they press a button. The software and hardware that reads and writes these functions does not need to be accurate within 20ms. The integrator has to use his head in selecting what I/O point in the entire system is used for what purpose.

Re: [Emc-users] ModIO, Serial IO Interface
Sorry Kirk, I wasn't referring to recent postI should have specified that. A while back the discussion started out with digital I/O but if I remember correctly it went to issues of timing and servos. I believe it was dropped because it was thought to be unsafe. The only point I was trying to make was that the option to use it or not should remain with the end user and integrator, and that careful planning is required by the integrating person(s) to ensure the safe operation of the machine for the sake of the operator and machine. I think that safety is being being addressed by all involved in this project and great lengths are being taken to provide that safety. My goal is not to offend, only to help in any way possible to help progress with EMC. Again, offense is not my goal and you have my apology! I do agree with your view on spindle operation timing. I just wouldn't trust it with servos. Just my view.

I think some confusion is because of your use of the term "thread". EMC and HAL use the term "thread" to specifically refer to a _realtime_ thread with a specific period, but you seem to be using "thread" while talking about a non-realtime component. Realtime HAL components export functions, and those functions are linked into realtime thresds. Each function in a HAL thread runs one after another, and all of them _must_ be complete before the next time the thread is due to run. Non-realtime HAL components do not export functions. A non-realtime HAL component is an ordinary Linux process. It has its own memory space and runs just like any other user space program. It has no restrictions about calling blocking functions. It can use read(2) and write(2) to access files (including /dev files). It can use select(2) with or without timeouts. It can use sleep(3) if it wants to poll HAL pins periodically. And it can use normal Linux drivers for things like the serial port. Such a component will _usually_ be quite responsive, but response times are not guaranteed. Spindle control was mentioned as a use case - that would be fine for normal milling, but I wound not use it for rigid tapping. EMC issues a command to reverse the spindle as the tap approaches the bottom of the hole. A user space HAL component would probably send that command to the spindle drive quickly 99% of the time, but it only takes one time with a half-second delay to break a tap.

If you bring an index pulse into the PC and sample it with software, you might miss the pulse unless you limit the speed. That is one reason for the HOME_LATCH_VEL setting in the ini file.

You create pins and parameters exactly the same as for a realtime component, but then you skip the function export step, and just drop right into doing whatever your component does. You need to install a signal handler for shutdown - most user space components run until killed. > >> Realtime HAL components export functions, and those functions are linked >> into realtime thresds.

Reading this after I sent it, I realized that I didn't go into the list of things that you can't do in a realtime component. Basically, you can't do anything that might block, and you can't use most of the standard library functions. >> Non-realtime HAL components do not export functions.

The problem with Modbus in realtime is that your component needs to interact with the hardware without Linux's help. In userspace, you can just use the normal Linux serial port driver, by way of /dev/serial or something along those lines. That isn't available when you are writing a realtime component. You basically have to talk to the UART directly, which can be tricky when you don't know anything about the UART. Things like USB-to-serial converters are completely useless from realtime, but perfectly acceptable in user space (if Linux understands it, a user space HAL component can use it).

[Emc-users] Classicladder/MODBUS
7.124 is included with EMC TRUNK . TRUNK gives you all the cutting edge work that people have included. It can have bugs of course. It's possible to add classiclader 7.124 to a production EMC (like 2.2x) but probably not worth the trouble. The version 8.02 you found on sourceforge is the parent program that Marc Le Douarain wrote/develops. We take his work and adapt it for EMC and develop it for our needs/wants.

[Emc-users] Does not Motenc-lite detected
Hello everybody,
I recently bought a card Motenc-lite and when it started EMC2 with the
configuration of motenc, I get an error card not detected. Anybody can help me
identify the problem?. I attach the "dmesg" if it helps.
I hope the message will not be too long.
Thank you

Re: [Emc-users] Does not Motenc-lite detected
Looks like the board configuration is not correct. do you have access to windows machine? I will email you a windows program off list. this will allow you to reconfigure the board eeprom. thank you Anton From: Chris Radek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Enhanced Machine Controller (EMC) Sent: Thursday, October 23, 2008 1:11:25 PM Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Does not Motenc-lite detected On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 09:58:02PM +0200, Alejandro wrote: > Hello everybody, > > I recently bought a card Motenc-lite and when it started EMC2 with the > configuration of motenc, I get an error card not detected.

Re: [Emc-users] hot wire cutting
Don't know that much about Ubuntu but my xorg.conf file looked the same till I plugged in a different video card. I read somewhere if Ubuntu didn't recognize the hardware it just use a default... and the Kbuntu was a bit better at recognizing hardware for some reason...

In a terminal session: "sudo su -" "nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" Then edit the Device, Monitor and Screen sections to suit your hardware. One of my xorg.conf's looks like this but your will be different. ... Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" # Driver "nvidia" Driver "vesa" EndSection ... Section "Monitor" Identifier "Configured Monitor" Horizsync 30-66 Vertrefresh 50-130 EndSection ... Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Monitor "Configured Monitor" Device "Configured Video Device" Defaultdepth24 SubSection "Display" Viewport 0 0 Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection ... Then close all open windows and Control-Alt-Backspace to reload the config file. There is a danger that your changes might keep X from starting again, if so, edit xorg.conf in a text session (Alt-F1) to fix it and then use the command "startx".
