Thanks for bringing this up. I will report back here how this works out. Reading the user guide for the REL and its software I found some references to Copley, The data sheets look like replicas of the Xenus XTL and User guide for their HDM software looks like the Copley CME2 software. The links from the Copeley Controls Data sheet on "HD SYSTEMS FHA Series Rotary Actuator with AC Brushless motor With Copley XTL Xenus Amplifier" to HD systems motor data files no longer worked, but I was able to locate them on the HDM site. They included a file for my specific Actuator Model number so things are looking good. So hopefully in a couple of weeks I will have the answers. In the worst case I will be out some shipping fee's if I decide to return every thing. > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most > engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users > >
