General Mach Discussion / DC Servo Understanding / Help with Mach3
« on: July 19, 2013, 03:28:47 PM »
I want to use Mach3... If I have Baldor DC Servo drive for X & Y, TSD-050-05-2-U running Baldor DC Servo Motors BK-2250's .... I need help finding out how I connect these drives to a PC
To run Mach3...
1. do I need a breakout board... if so what can you recommend?
2. Do I basically have to go from PWM to Step/Dir
with a breakout board or something? or is there a board that does PWM from Mach3...
People are telling me I lose "real CNC" or I am not doing "real CNC" with Mach3 and servo drives/servo motors cause the Mach3 and the controller just do Step/Dir ... if it's equal then I guess I don't care... but am I just buying servo to convert it to step/dir...
help!
