Hi
So can you set the encoder resolution or is it Fixed?

Cheers

Hi Craig

Yes will give it a go when I get back on Thursday. Working away for a few days in Bournemouth. I need to have a read up on the encoder set up and what steps to set in mach. I believe the encoders have 1280000 pulses per revolution? If so would mean 256,000 steps per MM in mach. Seems too high to me!

Cheers

Hi Craig

Thanks nice and simple then. My next question was what are tihose two diodes for.
Connected the z axis up earlier earlier. Can jog at ridiculas speeds way above what I need.
Auto tuned no issues.

Cheers

Hi Craig

With reference using a 5k resistor from the CSMIO to the servo input. I can't find anything in the manual that says it has a current limiter in the servo input circuit. Can only see the information on the attached screenshot. Should I wire in a 5k resistor on that 24v line from CSMIO to the Input?

Cheers

Craig if you're confused I need to throw these servos in the bin.  . What chance do I have? I can build a house with my eyes closed but all this electronic terminology is as confusing as hell.

Thank you

Makes some sort of sense now.LOL

Hi

Your switch is going to be the phototransistor
I was aware of this, I just wanted to concentrate on the servo side.

Using DI1 as an example.

output0 of the cluster to the anode of the drive input photodiode.

Is this pin 9 or 11?

and then from the cathode of the photodiode to 0V (purple highlight).

Is this pin 45, 47 or 49?

Cheers

Hi Craig

Still waiting for the adapter cable to arrive so having to use the HDI.

Can you please clarify this. I need to understand the wiring diagrams in the manual. I'll just use DI1 as an example.

Example of digital input with internal power supply (logic type 1):

Vdd pin 17 connects to DI1- pin 9 (Through a relay)
COM+ pin 11 connects to COM- pins 47,48 or 49.

Example of digital input (logic type 2) with internal power supply

VDD pin 17 connects to COM+ pin 11
DI1-pin 9  connects to COM- pins 47,48 or 49 (Through a relay)

Cheers
Mick

Ok making progress.

Had to set parameter p2-10 enable to 0001. (Di1)

Works now. Slight movement without any voltage applied but presume this will be down to turning?

Cheers
