I've finally been able to circle back to this, thanks for the feedback. I do use pncconf and have the spindle display selected with encoder feedback, but it looks to me like the filtered and abs signals are from the encoder feedback input rather than the motion command output and so not suitable f

[Emc-users] 0-10V spindle control via Mesa 7i33

2012-11-18 Thread Scott Hasse
All- My Sieg KC4S lathe conversion is moving along, and I have a question about driving a spindle motor controller using a Mesa 7i33 servo controller. According to the docs, that daughter card uses sign/magnitude mode , which will generate 0 to +10V analog out when the direction is positive and 0
