Hi friends
Just lately I replaced my lathe spindle induction motor with an AC servo, I purchased a new motor and matching driver. I also went to Smoothstepper ESS rev 2 to replace the two parallel ports I was previously running.
I have configured the ESS with little difficulty and everything works as it should, X, and Z axis both move and inputs and outputs work just fine. Now for the spindle side of things, I have read the manual and double checked all, but can not get any response from the servo motor at all. I have read through some old posts in using a servo as a spindle and followed all the information from there but nothing will happen. Where am I going wrong.
My set-up in ports and pins is as follows I am using Spindle step pin 1, direction pin 14 both port 1, and have tried both low and high. Motor tuning Steps is 10000, speed 2500
Acc 40. On the smoothstepper I have ticked use Step/Direction and frequency is 516Khz.
From port 1 I have a wire going from pin1(step) to pin 6(driver) pin14 to pin 7(driver) as per manual, I also have +12v to pin 18 and 19(driver), another +12v to pin 8(driver) The negative(neutral) to pin 21(driver) and get absolutely nothing!
Attached are the set-up pages from the driver manual, I have configured this based on pages 12 and 21
Maybe somebody can point in the right direction.
