OK guys,
I'm working on that last thing I wanted (for now anyhow). I have a used mpg I got from an old Okuma turning center. It has 4 screw terminals on the back, 2 are labeled source, (12v 0v), the other 2 are "A" & "B". My first question is, 12v is DC voltage, correct? Doesn't say AC or DC just 12v.
I'm pretty sure I can handle the set up in Mach3, CONFIG>PORTS AND PINS>ENCODER/MPG'S>MPG#1
(enabled) port1,pin10,port1,pin11,counts/unit4,velocity100.00
I have 12v DC available on the same power supply I'm getting the 24vdc from for the servo drive control circuit so that's no problem as long as the 12v on the mpg is DC. And I know the "A" & "B" go to input 10 & 11 on the BOB, but there are 2 screw terminals at the BOB for each of input 10 &11, How do I know which screw to put "A" & "B" on?
The encoder is a KURODA PC-100A-WSTF , I tried google for a data sheet and got nothing. Anyone have suggestions for me?
