I have the err/res tyed to the breakout boards and hook upto the proper point but the drive resets at less then a second. there is no high friction or jamming...
Randy, You say changing the velocity higher made it better, this sounds like noise on the encoder line. It needs a shield and ground it at the controller end...
I have tried that it doesnt work. Thanks Randy ... From: geckodrive@yahoogroups.com [mailto:geckodrive@yahoogroups.com]On Behalf Of R Rogers Sent: Tuesday,...
How are the encoder lines routed? Do they share a same conduit with the motor leads? I tried running them in the same conduit and every axis cross-talked. It...
I don't want to move the problem if I can help it. But I think buying a new drive will be best. this has went on all summer of trying things and it just points...
... Sure sounds like a noise issue to me. I found with single ended output encoders especially ones with fairly long cables, it took very little to make them...
You say you think this problem started after a move. Check your power system out for good grounds and a good ground bond to netural. Check the power pannel and...
Rapid have caps too, and had a 15% off everything day last Friday. I buy nearly a grand a month from them. My Servos are 140V, +/- 10% I’m looking to use...
Hi Mariss There are various opinions here in the UK, and many many groups publishing advice again with many opinions. I must also say this is my present...
... There's also the new cnc teknix drives, I'm evaluating one now, But thats getting very off topic for this group ;-) I do wish there was a higher voltage...
Mark, I want to thank you for the clearest exposition on the subject so far as well as for the .pdf link. That means my understanding is cloudy now instead of...
What is it about lead that freaks the Eurocrats out? Are they afraid solder-connections will be eaten by tots, reducing their IQ's? Or nervous teens will...
... Boy, people really like to harp on the whole RoHS / WEEE thing. Consider that most electronic products (by sheer numbers, price, and total mass) are sold...
Please, let's not rehash the subject again in this vein. It adds nothing of value. ROHS is a reality. Constructive posts should address practical methods of...
The trouble is Mariss that business is getting too much like gambling with these eurocrats. It's been implemented by people that haven't a clue, and its...
Damn, I missed their 15% off day. I did look into mains tool transformers. The probalem is that they are normally centre tapped with the centre tap connected...
Hi Les Thanks on the centre tap to earth bit, should have thought of that, but that cog in the head must be stuck. I looked to use lower voltage, but received...
... Not that Avon that was at G&M Tools is it? :-o We ran one of those machines once with Anilam control, hated it!! Getting transformers custom made is not...
I thank you for the time explaining what could be my problem to a person that has little knowledge of electronics' can build and repair anything I can see and...
Hi, I have a quick question for anyone using the disable input on the 202 or 201. I assume that you ground this to the 5 volt dc return and not the motor...
Regarding ROHS and new methods: One thing folks need to keep in mind is "tin whiskers". They are conductive crystaline growths that can "bridge" between...
Having found that document on the Rutex site I see what they mean. The braking current limiting resistor will have a noticeable effect on the top speed. I'll...
Hi Mariss, Thanks for the fast reply, I now have a second question as result of your anser. I have moved the current set resistor from the drive terminals to...
... No doubt some of those folks would say we already are... :-) ... That's already been tried, actually. Or at least the use of lead shot in areas which...
Seems like a wastefull way to limit current. A 140VDC motor limited to 20A requires a 7 Ohm resistor. That same motor running at 5A would dissipate 175 Watts...
It will. Terminal 12 is actually ground just like terminal 1 is. The difference is terminal 12 is a "quiet" ground meaning no motor currents pass thru it...
