Title: Amp enable pins
Post by: john15 on October 07, 2013, 11:06:13 AM

Hi all
I am trying to set up a 2160 with 1900ICM and the plugin
DC servo's  on an old Bridgeport interact, Bosch Z15 servo amps.

Do I use the normal galil ampen,xyz  pins for enable or use output pins 1,2 and 3

Thanks
John

The Galil controls the amp enable vial the SH and MO commands.  This is the ONLY thing that will drive those.  The plguin issues SH and MO appropriately.  However, if you want to control the enable of your amps directly from Mach, you will need to use output and map the mach enable signals to them.
