Gentlemen, These pictures are from a Cincinnati 950 control. This I/O rack was removed to install other I/O hardware. I now have two more machines with this same control. I would like to use this I/O as installed. Does anyone have information allowing LinuxCNC to interface with this I/O rack? Any and all information is greatly appreciated. thanks Stuart http://s1272.photobucket.com/user/stustev/library/?sort=3&page=1 Let me know if this link does not work. -- Addressee is the intended audience. If you are not the addressee then my consent is not given for you to read this email furthermore it is my wish you would close this without saving or reading, and cease and desist from saving or opening my private correspondence.

Heh - I have asked MAG (Cinci now) for a protocol. They are very responsive and helpful with other issues. They do not answer this issue with a positive or negative. It is as if I had not asked the question. :) On Jul 25, 2013 9:37 AM, "Peter C.

I just talked to Siemens. There is a USD330.00 charge to talk to a technician about a mature product. If I thought for a second they would give/sell me the communication protocol I would do it.

The problem is finding the right place to put the message so one of the guys who knows will actually notice it. Hope you get hooked up with somebody who knows it. Does the old Cinci control still work? It might be possible to put a scope, logic analyzer or protocol analyzer on the connection and discover the protocol. I think somebody indicated it might just be RS-485 serial? You could probably rig a level converter and connect it to a PC serial port (or USB serial pod) to record the traffic. Click some stuff on the control, record what lights on the I/O modules change and compare to the recorded traffic. I suspect the protocol would be dead simple. Jon |

A scope will be enough to determine what the most basic signalling protocol is, but you might then need to record it with something that can capture a long record of data. If it is a serial async protocol, then a PC could record it through the serial port, which would make it REALLY easy to decipher. Jon |

Well It turns out that the 3-531-4370 IBA is not a serially interfaced device
but rather a parallel bus adapter (decoding,latching,buffering), so no real
protocol, but just a simple parallel bus.
The basic I/O cards (DCI,DCO,ACI,ACO) appear to be 1 bit data devices (a bit
address reads/writes a single bit from/to the card). I expect fancier cards
(Analog out etc) use a 8 bit data bus.
Once the signals are determined, it would probably be pretty easy to simulate
the bus with some parallel I/O.
So do your racks have a 3-531-4370(A,B,C) bus adapter?
