rodw, thanks for the detailed explanation. appreciate.
I will also add to the manual for understanding my LinuxCNC.
I am writing to tell people other than myself about LinuxCNC in Japan.

andypugh, I didn't have enough info on my Servo.
An absolute encoder is implemented, but I use it as an incremental in the amplifier settings. Absolute's system will cause the amplifier to generate an alarm when the cable is attached or detached, so it will not burden the final user.

After getting a lot of advice from everyone, I decided on a solution for the time being.

1. Use the servo amplifier in the interpolated position mode in the position control mode.
2. Set the TouchProbeFunction to trigger on the C phase of the encoder.
3. Trigger detection uses TouchProbeStatus bit7 toggle signal.
4. Use TouchProbe1PositionValue for the trigger position.

The previous toggle2index has been rewritten as follows.


#!/usr/bin/env python
import hal
h=hal.component("toggle2index")

h.newpin("tgl-in",hal.HAL_BIT,hal.HAL_IN)
h.newpin("index-enable",hal.HAL_BIT,hal.HAL_IO)
h.newpin("tp-pos",hal.HAL_FLOAT,hal.HAL_IN)
h.newpin("scale",hal.HAL_FLOAT,hal.HAL_IN)
h.newpin("fb-pos",hal.HAL_FLOAT,hal.HAL_OUT)
h.newpin("tg-pos",hal.HAL_FLOAT,hal.HAL_OUT)
h.newpin("cmd-pos",hal.HAL_FLOAT,hal.HAL_IN)
h.newpin("sv-ac-pos",hal.HAL_FLOAT,hal.HAL_IN)

h.ready()
ib=False
ofset=0
scl=0.001

while 1 :

    if ib != h['tgl-in'] :
        ib = h['tgl-in']
    if h['scale']!=0 :
        scl=h['scale']

        if h['index-enable'] == 1:
            ofset=h['tp-pos']
            h['index-enable'] = 0

    h['tg-pos']=h['cmd-pos']/scl+ofset
    h['fb-pos']=(h['sv-ac-pos']-ofset)*scl

When setting the scale of the servo amplifier coordinates and the joint command and checking the C phase of the encoder during homing, the command system coordinates were reset, the encoder and offset values were memorized, and the coordinates after homing was completed were determined. So far it seems to work like that.
In the future, I would like to write this python program in C language as a hal component and add some functions of the encoder module. You will learn how to create components. I would like to refer to cia402.comp that you introduced.

Thanks for all your advice.

I had a good look at the homecomp today and its now a lot more user friendly than it was when I last looked (which has obsoleted all of my earleir work)

If you have absolute encoders I think the cia402.comp will be all you need. Just follow the examples.

If you have drives that home to a sensor, it will also require a custom homemod.comp and I think it will only need a few lines of code to configure it to talk to the cia402.comp

One day I will set up an ethercat lab and give it a go.

I edited my post because the python program code I posted didn't display properly.

Thank you Andy, tristate_bit was the trick for me to use index-enable as an input.

Hi Masa,

May I know if you are using Yaskawa Ethercat drives ?

Hello Abhishek

Sorry for my late reply
The servo I used is yaskawa's sigma-X series amplifier with EtherCAT connection.
We tested position, velocity and torque control modes.

I may not understand as I am new but why not simply attach
joint.N.home-sw-in to our's servo home input, and
joint.N.index-enable assuming that drive can map encoder index to any of its inputs
and use linuxcnc internal homing procedure?

hello saiko

I am currently using the Llinuxcnc internal homing procedure. The reason why servo amplifier homeing is not used is for synchronous operation with other servo amplifiers. For example thread cutting.
If the problem is solved, please tell me how to write the HAL.

Currently Home-Switch is connected to joint.N.home-sw-in and joint.N.index-enable is controlled by an external module I made.
The external module processes the Touch-Probes signal of the servo amplifier, etc., and performs coordinate reset and index-enable processing.

thank you.
