Servo (0x0056) and spindle (0x0040) meter records are 8 bytes:
[i32 value][u16 base][u16 exponent], the same self-describing envelope as the
position blocks.
Servo: offset 4 was read as a decimal count. It is the BASE (a steady 10), so
every load was divided by 10^10 and published ~0 -- the sister ignitionoee panel
read servo 0% on every axis of a Makino cutting at 20,000 rpm. Loads are now
value / base^exponent, a direct percentage.
Spindle: the raw meter is a 1/16384 fraction of full scale. Settled on the real
Z-34184 by regressing the type-1 meter against cnc_rddynamic2 spindle speed over
596..20,000 rpm (rpm = 1.220749 x meter; 16384 x 1.220749 = 20000.75). So:
- Spindle/{name}/Load publishes % of rated load (Float64; was the raw Int32
count -- a reading of 9155 meant 55.9%).
- Spindle/{name}/MaxRpm is RENAMED Spindle/{name}/MotorSpeedPct (Float64, % of
maximum speed) and is polled with Load. The old node was actively wrong: the
type-1 meter is the live motor speed, and it was read once at bootstrap and
served forever as if it were a max-RPM constant. Client-visible: FIXED: tags
on .../MaxRpm must be re-pointed.
- The spindle read no longer stops at the first zero after slot 1 (which dropped
an idle second spindle and kept non-zero residue); every slot is returned.
A record whose envelope is undescribable (base not 2/10, exponent > 18 -- e.g.
residue past the configured axis/spindle count) publishes BadNoData, never a Good 0.
Ported from the sister ignitionoee FOCAS driver v0.17.2/v0.17.3 (Focas.Wire-019);
live captures live-spmeter-{load,maxrpm}-0x0040.bin added as fixtures.
Every 0x0026 position block is self-describing: [i32 raw][u16 base][u16 exponent],
value = raw / base^exponent. The live 31i-B capture (ref-dynamic2-axis1.bin)
reports base 10 / exponent 4 on every block, so axis 1 is 280.1574 mm, not
2801574. The driver ignored the envelope and instead sent 'cnc_getfigure'
(0x00D3) -- a command that does not exist in the FOCAS wire protocol, served only
by the in-tree mock; the real control refuses it with rc=1, so on hardware every
position fell back to PositionDecimalPlaces (default 0) and published raw counts.
- ParsePositionBlock decodes the envelope into FocasPosition; the driver applies
raw / base^exponent at publish. PositionDecimalPlaces is now only the fallback
for a scale-less (4-byte) block.
- A block describing no position (0xFFFF vacant marker, base not 2/10, exponent
> 18 -- raw / 10^400 would read as a Good 0.0) publishes BadNoData on that node
alone; siblings are untouched.
- ReadPositionFiguresAsync / IFocasClient.GetPositionFiguresAsync and the
per-axis figure cache are deleted.
Ported from the sister ignitionoee FOCAS driver v0.17.0 (+ Focas.Wire-014);
live axis-scoped captures live-dynamic2-axis{1,2}-0x0026.bin (Z-34184 X 0.0374,
Y 370.177) added as fixtures.
First real FOCAS hardware contact (Makino Pro 5 / 31i-B @ 10.201.31.5). A full
v3 data-PDU capture corrected the initial diagnosis: the v3 block envelope is
identical to v1, so only specific payload structs / request math / one client
robustness gap were wrong — not "framing rewrites".
Fixes (all re-validated live through the fixed driver):
- version gate: accept inbound PDU {1,3}, keep emitting v1 (FocasWireProtocol).
- cnc_rdtimer: 8-byte {minute,msec} payload is little-endian (ParseTimer) — the
only decode with an in-range msec field.
- pmc_rdpmcrng: request range widened to the data-type byte width
(end = start + width - 1) so a Word/Long isn't truncated to 0 values
(was spurious BadOutOfRange); decode extracted to ParsePmcRange.
- cnc_rdsvmeter: per-axis LOADELM is 8 bytes (not 12) and names come from the
0x0089 block — ParseServoMeters fixes the misaligned 655360 garbage. Also the
"hang" was NetworkStream.ReadAsync not aborting a stalled socket: ReadExactlyAsync
now disposes the stream on cancellation so a stalled peer can't wedge a poll loop.
- cnc_rddynamic2: contract guard rejecting axis < 1 (driver poll already 1-based).
- FocasDriverProbe: run a real wire session (initiate + cnc_statinfo) instead of
degrading to Ok=true "TCP reachability only" when FWLIB is absent — a bare TCP
listener no longer reports HEALTHY.
cnc_rdparam (0x000e) is unsupported on this control — EW_FUNC across 14
request-framing variants x 4 known-present params; needs a reference FWLIB trace
or is restricted. Deferred (deployed config uses macros, not parameters).
Tests: FOCAS suite 234 green (+16), full solution builds 0 errors. Raw v3
