dspMC/IP Motion Controller / Servo amplifiers that work with dspMC

« on: December 02, 2008, 09:35:18 PM »

I've been intrigued with the dspMC and have wanted to do a servo conversion of an X3 mill using this controller box.  However, all of the servo drives (amplifiers) that I find web searching are all stand-alone closed loop systems; i.e. they may take a ±10V velocity signal, but they also expect the encoder to be attached to them.  Where do you find simple servo amplifiers that allow the dspMC to close the control loop?

I'm also looking at an EMC2 based solution using the Motenc-lite card and have the same issue there.  For EMC2 to take the encoder inputs and close the loop, you also need a simple amplifier and not one of the "smart" ones.

Cheers,
