FAQs / Re: delta ac servo and Mach

« on: March 22, 2012, 07:23:25 PM »

I like the idea of mixing and matching, being more noise immune would be a plus for sure, I have ran to some noise problems on a cnc plasma tube coper running on Mach that I designed and was using one of the SS usb connection on a laptop, the SS can't be close to the plasma at ALL that thing would work perfect one time and the next it would go crazy, might do anything, then I changed and ran Mach on a tower with the 25 pin parallel port and I actually believe you could sit the pc tower on top of the plasma and not have any problems, oh yeah forgot to mention that I had the SS hooked to the tower usb and it acted the same as with the laptop, I have not did anything with ethernet SS yet but I like the performance of the SS, the only down fall i saw was the loss of the backlash comp.

Looks like you moved right along in development, your right on the low numbers manufacturing, the cost can get scary!
You get this new BOB out and I will be one of your first customers.

I have worked in prototyping new products (mostly mechanical and fluid power with some electronics) for years and one of the most important aspects is manufacturing cost.

Thanks for your help, I will research this and see where it takes me, I want promise you that I will not be SCREAMING HELP later...

I wondered about the line driver thing, which line driver do you recommend and where do you buy it.

Thanks

I guess it would be a BIG help post more information!

I have a C11 breakout board from cnc4pc.com, I was told that board would work, I wasn't for sure how to connect the step/direction terminals to the pin#'s on the ASDA-B2 Delta AC drive to interface.

Like I say the drive is a Delta ASDA-B2, (750W).
Here is the link to Delta manual     http://www.delta.com.tw/product/em/download/download_main.asp?act=3&pid=2&cid=1&tpid=1

Thanks

FAQs / delta ac servo and Mach

« on: March 20, 2012, 03:56:43 PM »

Will the Delta ASDA-B2 750w ac servo drive work with Mach step/direction output from the breakout board? 2nd if Delta ac servo will interface, which pins on the ac drive do you connect the step/direction from the breakout to? I was wanting to use the internal power supply from the Delta drive but if I couldn't no big deal.

I have hooked up all kinds of stepper and dc servo configurations but just starting to get my feet wet on the ac servo drives, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
