cdesilva Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Hi All, The project that I am involved with requires cloning an existing Power PMAC code. I am a Turbo PMAC user (NSLSII GEO_BRICK) and am new to Power PMAC. I went over the documentation and was able to connect and add the existing project code successfully. I was also able to successfully build the code as well. Also I would like to note that the IDE version that I am using required me to migrate the code, which I was able to do successfully (please refer to the attached screen shots). 1. As a first step I simply tried building the code. That went successfully. 2. I then tried build and downloading the code. I am getting an error; ( error #70) Please find the attached PDF file where I have copy paste the relevant output messages. Afterwards I tried going over the software reference manual, but, did not succeed. Some more detail about the system. I am trying to use the POWER PMAC (model information is attached) to drive a servo motor using it's driver. The source code that I am trying to clone it from have the exact same driver+motor combination. And there are some differences which I would like to note below. a. Existing project uses a Power UMAC instead of a Power PMAC. This should not be a significant difference. b. Differences between control signal I/O and limits Existing project: AMP3 ; New project: AMP1 Existing project: ENC4 ; New project: ENC1 Existing project: GPIO on J7 ; New project: GPIO on X15 Existing project: Limits on J4 ; New project: Limits on X13 I have also attached a ZIP file of the project code for your reference. I appreciate your help in getting this going. Thank you, Chanaka De Silva NSLSII controls groupProjectBuildRecord.pdfPowerPmac_VCII.tar.gz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdesilva Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 Hi All, I was able to find a possible culprit for the error. The UMAC that has been used in the existing project has modules inserted, whereas Power brick does not. I herewith attach a picture of the UMAC controller. I would assume the processors are the same. I am going to try making the appropriate changes and see how it goes. Thank you, Chanaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Hotchkiss Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Dear Chanaka, Your project got an error on this line: EncTable[1].pEnc=Acc24E3[0].Chan[0].ServoCapt.a The line should work on all hardware if you change it to: EncTable[1].pEnc=Gate3[0].Chan[0].ServoCapt.a Gate3 can be replaced by a hardware specific alias. On a Power Brick the alias would be PowerBrick. On a UMAC the Gate3 chip is on the accessory 24E3 so the alias is Acc24E3. Regards, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdesilva Posted June 24, 2017 Author Share Posted June 24, 2017 Thank you Eric. I was able to get pass that error. I am now getting the proper encoder feedback from the external Nikki Denso driver. I am still working on getting the SERVO motor JOG going. I will get back to the thread if I come across any further concerns.
