Title: Spindle Encoder OA+- OB+- OZ+- or EA+- EB+-?
Post by: McRoth on April 24, 2023, 09:26:45 AM

I'm working on trying to hook up this servo spindle motor via step/dir: https://www.automationtechnologiesinc.com/products-page/cnc-milling-spindle/3-7kw-2-2kw-8000rpm-milling-spindle-motor-and-inverter-220v , the 3.7KW 220V single phase version to my ESS with a C82 board.  ESS only wants an A, B and Index input, but this encoder has OA+- OB+- OZ+- and/or EA+- EB+-.  How would I go about getting this to work?  Do I need some kind of converter?

Thanks!

Mike

I also just noticed that the step/dir input for the driver wants a EA+/-, EB+/-, 4 wires, where ESS wants 2 wires.  How would I go about this?

Thanks,
Mike

Here's the pinout from the manual.
