Galil / Re: Old Dynapath System 10 upgrading to Galil CS 18420 ICM 2900 No idea on wiring???

« on: March 04, 2014, 09:58:55 AM »

Thank you for the information!!

I have brushed servos and I have a good handle on the servos and encoders. I'm not sure on the other signals what type or how to communicate with the galil board.  Will I need to have a external power supply for the icm? I could not imagine the computer able to supply that much amperage.

Thanks again!!

No, camsoft seams way too clunky. Maybe I am expecting too much.

No-one knows? I have figured out the encoders and I'm pretty confident in the other wiring, but I have no idea how to get the connecters and pins within mach3

I also need some of these too. Does anyone know where this can be purchased?

Galil / Old Dynapath System 10 upgrading to Galil CS 18420 ICM 2900 No idea on wiring???

I have a few post on here about my old Kondia K-76 CNC and Dynapath System 10. I recently won an online auction for a full Camsoft retrofit. Including touch screen, Galil CS18420 board and ICM 2900, and Camsoft professional. The Camsoft software is SUPER clunky compared to the Mach3 stuff. So I want run mach3 on the camsoft hardware I have mach3 and the galil plugin installed. I have no idea how to start wiring the ICM 2900 or how to select the active pins within mach3. Anyone want to help a super newbie?? Pretty Please!

So I have replaced the encoder and have my rotary converter up and running. I'm ready to start the upgrading the system with the Galil CS18420 board ICM 2900 I/o thinggy. I have no idea how to select the pins and connecter in Mach3 or how to actually wire the I/O up. I have the Galil plugin but I'm still lost...

I just picked up a Camsoft Pro with a CS18420 motion card and touch screen. My z axis encoder keeps crashing and I think I need to replace it. The machine has a RS23 500 40/5 L on it now. Can I just replace the encoder with a similar unit? Or will I need to update the encoder for the conversion??? I'd like to fix the z axis issues before I start the upgrade...

Hi all,

I recently acquired a old Kondia-76 CNC with a Dynapath System 10. Everything works, but the 60k memory 2,000 lines is a huge hassle. I want to keep the the Servos and Drivers, but that requires a 0-10 +- volt signal..  I've tried to research and found a few options like the KFLOP or the YAPSC:10, I still don't really understand what else is required besides a PC. the YAPS looks to be no longer available, the KFLOP looks like it needs other stuff? Is there another option under 500 dollars?

Thanks..
