General Mach Discussion / Unidex 511 Motion Controller
« on: October 01, 2008, 04:51:01 PM »
Is anyone familiar with the Unidex 511 Motion Controller?  I have one that I picked up at a excess sale and was wondering if g-code can be downloaded to this controller to run some servo motors.  I have a variety of AC servo motors, but need to know if this will run g-code.

General Mach Discussion / Aerotech Unidex 511 servo controller

Does anyone have any background on a servo controller made by Aerotech model Unidex 511.  I picked it up from a surplus supply place and it is a brand new controller.  It looks like it does a lot of stuff but was wondering if it would work with mach3.  I couldn't fine anything on step and direction, but may not have enough information.  Any information would be helpful.

What do you look for on the motor specs to determine what drive to use?  When I look at the specs I get overwhelmed with the amount of information that is listed.  I am use to the stepper motors where most motors can be hooked up to my stepper controller.  Will the controller blow if I use a motor that is drawing too many amps above what the controller is rated for?  Can I still use the motors and just not max out the amps on too big of a load?  I am just interested in learning about servo motors now with the encoder feedback.  I do have a stepper motor system that is working good, but just want to expand my horizons.  Thanks for all your help on this subject.  I also just picked up another Rexroth Ecodrive CS drive that I think match right up to the rexroth motors I have.  I am just not sure if the controllers are step and direction driven.

The Reliance motors I have 2.  I have 4 IDC motors.  I have 2 Rexroth motors.  The part number for the Ultra3000 drives are 2098-DSD-005 and I have 4 of these.  The version on the Ultra3000 drives a Firmware V1.32.

I guess you don't know what you got until its gone.  The motor part numbers are at the first of this topic.  The exact model number of the drives I will need to get next week when I pick up the drives.  I do know that the Reliance motors are 115 v and the Rexroths are 114 volts.  I can't find anything as far as voltage for the IDC motors.

Is it just AB that is difficult to match the drives with a motor or is that a general rule with AC drives?  I know that AB is a very good product, but seem to only work with AB motors.  Is there a generic drive that would work with the different motors I have.  I just don't come across very many AB motors in surplus.  I don't have the Ultraware software to set up the motors.  Would I be better of selling the AB ultra 3000 drives on ebay and take the money to buy a generic AC drive?

I am planning on sticking different motors that were listed at the first of this topic onto the AB drives.  I have a couple of the motors pinouts that I can work with in connecting the motors up to these drives.  I am just not familiar with what to hook up to and where with the AC servo motors.

The drive states the input voltage as 100-240 volts.  When connecting motors to this drive do I look at the specs of the motor rating and make sure the input voltage is higher?

Thanks

I also have the Allen Bradley Ultra3000 drive.  If it states that it has step/direction option, will this work with Mach3?  Also how does the voltage work with the AC servo drives.  Do I look at the max rated voltage on the motor and get a controller that is above that rating or below?

Thanks.
