I started a cnc knee style retrofit to emc about 6 years ago. I haven't
done anything with it since then. Marriage and kids took a priority. I am
starting to have some more free time and would like to get back into it.
Some of what I have is:
3.0 ghz pentium 4 dual boot with Ubuntu/emc2 ready to install, but i'm not sure
abou the ini file installed off of live cd. and xp on other hard
drive-disconnected when installed ubuntu, I just select through bios.
ppmc purchased from pico systems:
-motherboard
-dac card
-dio card
-encoder card
2 copley control servo amps model 422 (what I could afford at the time need
more servo amps but would like to see progress first)
I looked at an encoder on the end of my brushed dc servo. This is what I seen
pin# 1 vdc
2 common
4 A output
5 B output
6 M output
7 A comp
8 B comp
9 M comp
from motion control devices I would assume era early 1970's
Model # 80-dm-1000-5-C0-C-T
they originally only used pins 1,2,4,8,9
I would guess this to be a differential encoder with a index (M?)
If possible I would like to prove this at home(basement) with power supply,
servo amps etc(not the mill for now, I have more time at home than in the shop)
I am not sure if my encoder board will do differntial or just single, I think
it is just single because I don't see any jumpers.
I breifly started to look over emc2 users manual, and I didn't see/overlooked a
lot of servo information. I believe it said something about a different manual?
I would apreciate if I could get some information on a good way to get started
and some help or direction with the ini file for use with servos
Thank you
Mike Langeweg
