hey andy my motor feedback type is a fanuc incremental encoder. i think it is a sin cos. I did go throught it and checked that it was not a serial encoder a couple of months ago but I wil try dig the info out later I think it is 2048ppr
I think they are able to be read without any converters but will check later. in any case though if needed I can get rid of them and use a standard incremental encoder if things get desperate. next question and a answer to your questions.. what does a rectifier actually look like? and how important are the specifations on them. eg will a rectifier work with a wide range of voltages and currents or is it something that is a bid touchy. I have never used them before... I think they are just a square block with 4 pins coming out of it. but are not sure regards Andrew On Sat, Jun 6, 2020 at 11:40 PM andy pugh <bodge...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Sat, 6 Jun 2020 at 12:25, andrew beck <andrewbeck0...@gmail.com> wrote: > > So I already have 240volts ac three phase power in the machine.
