Hi all,
I hope someone could kindly provide instructions on how to setup an encoder input in Mach 3 Mill.
I have searched the forum, but am still unclear on how to do this.
The encoder I'm using is a 1 ppr Hall effect encoder (
http://radionics.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=searchProducts&searchTerm=715-134&x=25&y=14) on the end of my spindle shaft.
It outputs 1 pulse per rev (a/b =50+/- 20%)....Shaft speed is generally 500 - 3000 rpm.
Motor speed is controlled by an external dc drive with a pot setting the speed.
I am unsure of the steps to take for the DRO to indicate the true speed.
Many thanks,
Aidan
