Is there an easy way for me to check on the console if the ladder is

Also, if I want to ditch the controller at a later stage, are the Fanuc

Only if your firmware has that pwmgen. Which firmware is the 5i25 flashed with?

Some are.

Hat just saw this. I'm currently stripping a old fanuc lathe to run
linuxcnc. I found that the fanuc servo drives are too hard to with with.
But to mention so old. I just buy new Chinese servo motors and drives.
They are $300 usd for a 2.4kw matching drive and motor. And really high
quality.

I'm not going to be any help there either. Never tried to retrofit a Fanuc
machine. But my understanding is the older the better for trying to retrofit.
The newer all digital amps (they are more amps than drives because even the
commutation is done in the control) with optical connections and

Can you say what servo amps you have? The oldest Fanuc had
standard analog velocity servos, but instead of a DC
tachometer, they synthesize

Woot.com (Amazon discount site) is selling one for $89. I think they

Work pretty well. I have 3 on my Bridgeport Series II

I didn't think that we were talking about positioning.
I thought you were talking about a spindle drive.
I think it could be used as a low performance positioning drive.
You would need an opto coupler setup for the command obviously if there
is no isolation.

Just in case anyone is interested I grabbe
Doing some searching, both on mesanet.com and on my 3 wintel machines,
there is not a linux version of mesaflash I can find thats newer than
2014. The linux version is no longer part of the 5i25.zip, nor the
hostmot2.zip downloads.
So what should I use on that elderly Dell, to reflash a 5i25?
The KB drives are solid. They have been around for many years and work well.
The last one I used was for an index motor on a large lathe and it ran for
years no problems. I don't think it is fast enough for a servo.

KB makes SCR and PWM motor drives, but rather than spend the $$ for a KB PWM
I'm leaning towards an MC2100 treadmill drive for my JET 9x20 I put a DC
treadmill motor on. Just have to build a PWM control circuit to replace
whatever would be on the treadmill control panel.
