@ Kim. Yes, I have the controller, and as far as I can tell, my setup is an older version of this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/JUKI-Control-Box-Servomotor-SC-922-M51N-/160747923257 I haven't torn into it too far, but the controller takes a 3 phase input, which I don't have. Also the plugs were cut off of the controller, and the colors of the wires on what I'm assuming is an encoder, don't completely match the controller. @ Andy The motor has 4 wires: red, blue, white, green. What I'm assuming is an encoder, has 8 wires. For now, I'm assuming that it's +A, -A, +B, -B, +C, -C, +5, and GND. C could also be index. When the shop cools off tonight, I'll look at it again. I'll have to unpack my scope, and see what I can get out of the encoder. -- -Mark Ne M'oubliez ---Family Motto Hope for the best, plan for the worst ---Personal Motto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
