Hi Craig

I'll try searching that.

The screws to hold it in are 47mm apart. It only has 2 rows of pins unlike the standard SUBD 50 which has three. Searching RS components who sell everything but still struggling.

These will be a pain in the A*** to solder.

Hi

Picture attached.

Two rows of pins.

Hi,
that pic is TOO big, try cropping it and resizing so it turns out about 500kB.

I suspect it is micro D. What I can't decide is whether its meant to have four rows of contacts of which only the outer two are used.

Hi,
that last link was for the plug, you probably need the receptacle:

Hi Craig

The picture I sent was the drive. The connection is receptacle on the drive. Just looking at your link.

Hi,
I think SCSI cables are 50 way micro subD.

Craig

Hi,
yeah, SCSI II cables:

Hi Craig

Yes, you are right. Looks like an SCSI connector. I don't think I cant use that pre-wired connector. The data sheet shows different twisted pairs combinations to what comes out the servo drive? 

Cheers

Hi,
to be honest at the price of the cable I was looking at I'd have a go even if the cable pairs
were not quite correct. I'd be gambling that the mismatch of the twisted pairs doesn't matter.

Otherwise you are going to have to solder it all together, not easy, I've done it.

All these delays....are going to cost you a fortune in flowers etc to keep your missus sweet!

Craig

  Lol

I was under the impression that not using twisted pairs was a big no-no on the encoder channels?

Cheers
