HiCON Motion Controller / Need spindle orientation for tool changer

« on: January 23, 2018, 09:08:43 AM »

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

dspMC/IP Motion Controller / Need VB6 Sample Projects for dspMC/IP Version 1

« on: December 06, 2015, 07:39:42 AM »

Hello All,

does anybody have a VB6 Sample Project for the dspMC Version 1?
On vitalsystem.com the files for Version 1 are no longer available.
I seem to remember, that former such samples are available, but Rufi from vitalsystems couldn't find them.

Thanks
Florian

HiCON Motion Controller / Closed Loop with HiCON Integra

« on: November 25, 2014, 04:58:55 PM »

Hi Guys,

I am using the HiCON Integra Motion Controller with Panasonic Servo Systems MINAS A5 and Mach3 for a milling machine. Today all works fine  
As a next step I want to activate and use the closed loop feature of the HiCON Controller, but I have no idea what is useful and possible.
In the attached PDF file you can see the actual configuration and two potential options.
Currently I do not understand what the advantage when I use the pulse output of the Servo Controller for the HiCON feedback. (Similar the Drive Interface Board EPx-DIB from Vitalsystems)
I think the use of an additional linear encoder is much better because of direct measure of the axis and backlash compensation...
Is it possible to configure this? Rotary- and Linear Encoder has different resolutions!
Has anyone experience with closed loop?

Many thanks in advance for your help
