Replied by PCW on topic 7i96 Configuration Problems
Electrically, for the isolated inputs
you would typically wire +24V to
one side of your float switch and ARC_OK
contacts and connect the other sides to 7I96
inputs. Then the 7I96 input common (TB3 pin 12) would
connect to the 24V common. These inputs
(TB3 pins 1 through 11) map to GPIO hal pins
0 through 10

The information in a pin listing other than the pin name
is the pin type (bit S32 U32 Float), The state of the pin
(true or false for a pin of type bit), the pin direction,
and the owner

OK, so added in the SSR type pin for torch on (hm2_7i96.0.ssr.00.out-00) and changed the pin for float to hm2_7i96.0.gpio.009.in. The same error comes up.
 

There is no entry for the float in the connections.HAL file, can I just write in the float here? Why isn't the configurator doing this?

 

Then if I go back to the configurator to reconfigure, I get this:

The connections.hal file looks totally wrong, it should have content similar to below.

what version of LinuxCNC are you running?

Warning: Spoiler!

It's version 2.8 I think.

Does plasmac do a bunch of stuff the first time it runs? I have yet to run it because of this missing db_float dealy.

It probably won't even load until that error is sorted.

The file contents I posted earlier is where that component is loaded.

Should I try just adding that db float thing in?

The other thought I had was start over and try a fresh plasmac conversion from my base axis build.

If you have a good base then I would be tempted to start a new PlasmaC config.

BTW, it wasn't anything you did, I see a problem in the configurator when it trys to reconfigure.

I will push a fix for it shortly, but it won't fix your config, you would be best to make a new one.

Oh, don't worry, I have done many things wrong!

On that wiring question, do I need to provide 24v to the 2 wire components? My drivers and stuff are 36v.
