[Emc-users] Tuning low resolution axis

2012-04-24 Thread Eric Johnson
Hi all, I have a servo motor axis configured angular with a relatively low resolution encoder / gear ratio. One revolution of the shaft is 19600 counts, or 54. counts per degree. I was having a very difficult time tuning it at 54 counts per degree, so I set the counts per engineering unit

Hi all, Somewhat off-topic, but did something change at SourceForge, and is there anything I can do about it? Specifically any email to this list from my original registered email address is now getting bounced. The error message is: 550-Response: 553 sorry, mail to that recipient is not acce

[Emc-users] Mesa 7i37 board

2008-07-30 Thread Eric Johnson
Hi all, I need some 24V I/O in an application already using the Mesa m5i20 controller, and was looking at the 7I37. The inputs are obvious. As for outputs, the manual only refers to 48V. Am I correct in reading the usage as whatever voltage is supplied to the drains (OBITx+ or odd pins between

Re: [Emc-users] More outputs on m5i20

Peter, >From the perspective of the m5i20, etc. they do not need to be isolated. The actual BCD inputs are 24V, so I have to go through relays anyway. Thus TTL (5V or 3.3) as on the m5i20 will work fine. Regards, Eric > Do the outputs need to be isolated or would a simple SPI-TTL > I/O card do?

[Emc-users] More outputs on m5i20

2007-10-10 Thread Eric Johnson
Hi all, I have a project which requires interfacing to a laser having 2 x 8 bit BCD inputs, which alone would exhaust the available outputs of the standard configuration on the m5i20, and I need a few additional outputs beyond these. I have plenty of inputs available, so a 24 / 24 split on inputs
