Digikeijs DR4088LN - Issue

I only included the image because you said...

 

diagrams would make your posts much easier to read - whilst in your minds eye you understand what you describe, for those of us at a distance the words are difficult to comprehend.

 

I agree with what you said and am going to remove all others and start from board-1, the second or bottom picture above.

 

I will have a look at this later... look in your dr5000 program and set all the S88 to zero

 

Thanks for your guidance

I have stripped out all wires  to all feedback modules, run a live to the first DR4088LN

 

The settings were as follows, but it didn't work, same issue as before?

 

I include all these to at least make sure settings are correct before replacing and adding another DR4088LN

 

I went into DR5000 and to ext88N IN, in this section have I set the following...

SETTINGS

Number of 16 input modules 1

Number of 8 input modules 0

Number of contacts 16

First contact in feedback space 0

Report all contacts after power on 1000

 

ext88 modules

Number of control  modules 1

Type Dr4088

Channels

1 - Pair - Throw Ticked - 1

2 - Pair - Throw Not Ticked - 1

3 - Pair - Throw Ticked - 2

4 - Pair - Throw Not Ticked - 2

up to 16 (1 ticked 8, one not ticked 8)

 

LOCONET 'T'

Programming

Left as no DR4088 in options

Module address 1

CV number values 0

Settings

purge time 0

Fast clock rate 0

Enable slow module timing not ticked

Baudrate tuning 110

Comparator tuning 1.80

RailCom Sense direction OFF

 

Thanks for any help

Hi Iain

 

Before finishing, with just 4 feedbacks in a single outer loops, everything else is stripped out, wires, codes the lot, I gave it a try. They all worked!

 

I wish I had asked about the settings first but as you said to many things going on, also time has dragged on somewhat.

 

Anyway that initial test was encouraging, hopefully now I can get this first board pulled together and get started on board two in a weeks time. I will add a final update, hopefully no more issues, 27 feedbacks to code, wire and test.

 

Many thanks for your help

UPDATE

 

All working, many thanks for all your help.

 

Hopefully get ready to start board 2/4 from tomorrow.
