I should have mentioned that the motors are DC and their ratings are:
Fanuc 5M - 9A peak, 151V, 2000 rpm, 2000 count encoder
Fanuc 10M - 12A peak, 165V, 1500 rpm, 2000 count encoder
NosmoKing, I took a look at the AMC 100A25 drives; I think they are on their way out (their status is reserved). I'll give them (and Galil) a call to see what they recommend.
Smurph, running one single Ethernet cable is going to be soooo much easier with my machine. I should have thought of that, but I didn't; thank you for saving me that hassle of finding that out by myself.
I read the sticky that you posted about "Galil controller compatability" and you mention that the Econo controllers have a 350 ms delay over the Accelera controllers (because the Econo has to convert the commands from ASCII to binary). How does this affect the overall performance? Does everything happen just as fast, except that there is a 350 ms between when Mach starts sending the program and when the Galil starts sending signals to the drive? Or does each command sent to the Galil take 350ms to be interpreted? I'm guessing that it's not the latter, but I figured I would ask. Is the extra cost of the Accelera worth it?
Thanks again,
Chris
