Hello,
for my planned toolchanger I need spindle orientation. Actual I only use the analog output on J12 for spindle speed control. My drive is a Kollmorgen servo motor with a S600 amplifier.
The S600 supports a incremental-encoder interface output with A, B and Z
Has someone experience of how to do something like this
Many thanks in advance

Hello,
had a quick look to S600 Manual. it has a internal Position control.
maybe you can use this, an enable the positioning via digital Input.
Do the feedback (in Position) via digital Output.
thats how i did it on my machine, but with a Lenze 8400 Topline
controller.

Hi Tom,
thank you for your quick answer. That's what I thought, too. Switching between speed and position control should work. But I don't know how to move to index position.
Maybe there is a Kollmorgen specialist here who knows how to trigger this via a second input.
Unfortunately, I don't find the software "Drive" very intuitive.
Greetings from Lower Bavaria ;D

It might be possible to align the encoder so that it aligns with the proper position and then home the spindle to the index pulse from Mach.
