Mesa 7i76eu gpio pins not working

Hello,

I am using Mesa 7i76eu card to operate my 3 axis CNC mill. I connected the stepper motors and they work, I can move them with linuxCNC. Now I tried to connect PNP proximity sensors to use as homing switches, but they are not working. At first I was also getting an error when starting linuxCNC, but i noticed that is because W1 jumper fell out while wiring. I set the W1 jumper back to its original left position but the pins are still not working. I also noticed that i have a CR11 LED light turned on indicating field i/o fault. Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem.

Had the same issue, need to wire the "orange block" so that your inputs and outputs have power. You should see a yellow light only with only Ethernet or 5v power..... and a red or green light with field power.

I think it's just the bottom one on that orange block that needs 24v and the top one needs ground but that's from memory.... please check the manual

Do you have power connected to the orange TB1 header? The Jumper W1 connects VIN to VField but you still need to supply power to VField/VIN and GND. My 7i76eu is powered entirely by 24V going to both TB1 Pin 5 / Pin 8 for field voltage and TB3 Pin 21/ Pin 24 for logic power. My PNP sensors work flawlessly although it took me some time to figure out how to set the inputs to sinking/sourcing.

This is using the 7i76e but more or less the same

Hey thanks for such a speedy replys i had the orange block wired wrong.
