EMC - Estop & Active high and low

[ADucci]

hi... i am struggling to get my estop configured properly...

in the manual it says that the code to enable estop is..
linkpp parport.0.pin-01-in iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in

and the code to enable an active low is -invert

i cant get my estop pin inverted, no matter where i place the -invert...

please help

I think you do this

linkpp parport.0.pin-01-in iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in
setp parport.0.pin-01-in-invert 1

Thanks Samco.... this looks right... i will try it tonight...

i can get emc to not give an error using that exact code you specified.. namely
setp parport.0.pin-01-in-invert 1

however, my Estop is on Pin10... when i change this code to pin 10, it gives an error...

[samco]

what is the exact errror?

should be
linkpp parport.0.pin-10-in iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in
setp parport.0.pin-10-in-invert 1

[samco]

so - on the irc chat I found out I was wrong.

Inputs have 2 pins already.

parport.0.pin-10-in
and
parport.0.pin-10-in-not

so the correct line is
linkpp parport.0.pin-10-in-not iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in

you don't need the setp line - as that is only for outputs.

sorry about that. I assumed something I should not have

[ADucci]

thanks, that worked perfectly!
