It would seem that those are normal VFD. A servo drive and a VFD are not 
the same thing. If you want to drive a spindle then the VFD is good 
enough but for servos you should use a matching servo drive. The servo 
drive has a control loop that requires the encoder to be connected to 
the drive itself. I have not tried to use VFD in a servo loop but I am 
fairly sure that it will not work as well a servo drive but I might be 
wrong about this.

 Aram, these are the differential inputs for the INDEX signal from the
 quadrature encoder. You can use that in several ways but mostly it is
 used when doing threading. There are other uses as well as I said.

Re: [Emc-users] mesa board --7i33

2014-12-14 Thread Dave Cole
Servo drives and VFDs are two different animals.

VFDs are typically designed to spin squirrel cage induction motors 
(think standard 3 phase motors), where rotor slip is used to generate 
the magnetic field in the rotor.   Servo drives are designed to spin 
synchronous AC motors/servo motors that typically have a magnet rotor.  
The rotor never slips out of phase with the field.   And that is why 
servo drives/motors can be used as positioning systems.
Some servo drives can be dumbed down to spin induction motors but there 
is little point in doing that since servo drives are typically much more 
expensive.
Trying to mix servo drive and servo motor manufactures gets very 
tricky.   You need to fully understand the motor and its specs and then 
you need to have a Servo drive that is adjustable
and adaptable to that motor and encoder type.Many cheaper drives are 
designed to connect to one or two models of motors and that is it.  This 
is not a good place to guess at anything.

This is the encoder index signal, typically used for accurate homing

No, this is the 5V power that runs the 7I33 (typically it comes from the FPGA
card)

This is a 5V output signal that can be used to enable a drive
