Eagle KM-750..Anilam Crusader GX-M

[HillBilly]

The head on mine is different than yours also. It has the variable speed pulleys. There were M codes that basically run the speed adjustment from one end to the other with an air motor in high and low gear ranges. This provided 4 separate ranges and the spindle inverter varied the speed with in them.

Example:

M41....60-165
M42....166-499
M43....280-1,469
M44....1,470-4,640

The inverter speed control is analog 0-10v also. I plan on doing away with the PLC. It was setup to handle the few M codes. The Original control was setup to do a MST transfer function to the PLC.

Your setup is much like the one that I have on my eagle I have a DL06 with an analog card running the VFD.

Mine has a larger motor on the X axis, which I thought was unusual. They are all made by SEM.

Now I'm getting ready for the pixie's.  I have taken a 300W power supply out of an old computer. I want to use it to supply 12v+ and 5v+ to the pixie boards.

The guys over at the skyko forum say that it should be plenty to run the boards.  I posted this question there, but they aren't as active as we are here.

Any ideas how I can turn it on without being connected to a mobo?

When I plug it in and turn it on the 5v leads are active.

Edit: Breakout board just arrived.

Think its the green wire to the ground next to it in the ATX plug but will get back in a few mins with a definitive answer.

Yes green wire to any of the grounds(BLACK) next will switch on the PSU, you will need a latching switch because as soon as you release them the power supply will stop.

It has a switch next to the 110, so I'll connect the green to a black.  Switch off = shut down, switch on = go.

OK?

Wayne,
That looks like a nice card

Brian I got one reserved for me to play with when they are available.   Want to take a look at this option then?  Might just be a viable alternative to the Galil cards.

If you are meaning the switch on the back of the PSU then you will need to undo the mains connection on it and join them together internally, then you could use the switch for the power on and ground wire on the ATX connector. Personally I would leave the switch the way it is and just add another switch or you could even just cut the green and black wire and connect them together permanantly and control the on/off by using the mains switch on the back of the PSU. Another option would be to just put a small jumper wire into the ATX plug, this would then be easy to remove if you ever needed to put the power supply back into service for a computer.

Wayne do you have a link that I can have a look at? Art and I have to get the delta tau stuff up and running but after that
