I have run similar motors, it should be moderately straightforward.

Inelegant as it might be, I tend to just run through the bldc patterns
in halcmd to find which make the motor spin, then see which of those
spin it best.
You can start off in h mode, so that bldc.comp stays in
trapezoidal/6-step mode while choosing the best Hall pattern, then
change to qh mode and connect the encoder rawcounts pin if you want
to use sinusoidal commutation.

The 7i39 firmwares don't claim any pins for Hall sensors, simply
leaving a gap in the pin allocation as gpio. This sometimes causes
confusion.
SVTP6_7I39.BIT is probably the firmware you want.

[Emc-users] Pittman BLDC + 7I39 experience?

2012-07-21 Thread John Kasunich
I recently picked up a couple Pittman ELCOM ST brushless servo motors.
I haven't been able to find data for the exact part number, but
everything
appear to match up with the N2311 with 18.3V windings as described in
this
data sheet:

www.control-drive.com/Products/Servo_Motors/PITTMAN/est_Brushless_2300.pdf

The ones I have include both hall sensors (color code matches that
datasheet)
and a 1000 CPR encoder.

I would like to drive them with a 5i20 and 7i39, and LinuxCNC's bldc HAL
component.  I haven't really started digging into the docs yet, I was
just
wondering if anyone has any experience with these or similar motors.

Thanks,

I have had a Pittman 4443 motor on my minimill for several years.  It is 
the long, skinny
motor, not like the picture in your link.  I don't know if that makes 
any difference.
It works quite well with six-step drive.
