well for starters it's good news that all i need to buy is the rutex drive that would help in cost i have in the cabinet a power supply putting out 75- 100 Volts DC there are other taps on the transformer that i have not checked i don't plan to chuck the power supply just all the other electronics would any of the break out boards work on the rutex drives or would it be a special board just for those drives.

Thanks for the info on rutex what other parts would i need in addition to these drives power supply pixes and an interface card?trying to figure what the cost for everything to get it to work correctly dose rutex have support the drives are pretty good price baldor and servo dynamics also make drives for these motor's but they are way more money.

Well sat down today and figured out the current supply problem to the drives and it turned out badly the drives have a secondary power supply this provides the +15 & -15 volt's to the drives it's bad and may have damaged the drive's talking to servo dynamic drive corp they say to repair just one drive is $900.00 so i am not going to even play with them everything is coming out and i'll start from scratch.
 In looking at the only other drives i have found so far that can handle the power of my servos which is 120 volt dc is the drives from AU do they have a US dealer?

The drives have some kind of fault and have shut down from what servo dynamics says so i have to figure out what that is and get it fixed first what ever that is.

We were talking about 2 different drives, and yes that's my problem the machines computer has a fault and it's such old technology i don't want to bother with it but in order to get some direction now that i know the geckos won't work i need to know if i will have to replace the drives or not thus the reason for asking about testing them i did get some info from servo dynamics just trying to make sense of it is always the curve of this stuff i will just have to work through it thanks.

Since you already had a set of these boards can you tell me how to test them i would like to know if they work rather then buying new boards now that i know the geckos won't work.

I don't know if the drives are dead or not as i can't get the system up and running who ever had the machine originally bypassed all kinds of stuff to the point it now only makes sense to him in order to get it to operate this is why i was hoping to gut all that out of the machine and switch it to geckos then go from there the motor's are 15 amp the encoders are Sumtak dc 5v 160 ma they are 8 wire opitical it says the no on them is lbl-007-500 dose that mean they are 500 line encoder? or half that at 250 can't find any info on the net for them.
