Would you expect to see half the full scale speed range available when connecting single ended to a differential input? For example, you command +10V on your single ended output. But the...

If the output from kanalog is single ended, are you sure it will work when connected to a device that is expecting a differential input?

Hi Tom,

It sounds like you are suggesting the axis will be able to servo without any C Program? If so what is it's purpose?

It's not clear to me if the axis will be able to servo with my...

So I'm more familiar with how to connect the boards to the drive now, which is good. But I was wondering if the +5V and ground for the encoders should sourced from KAnalog or can I use a seperate...

I'm rebuilding a CNC mill with analog servo drives and want to run it with Mach 3. I have KFlop and Kanalog but the documentation on how to connect anything to Kanalog, or how to actually program it...

I'll try and find out the model numbers for the drives, and I have used Mach before, so I understand the concepts there, what I am having difficulty with however, is how do I program the servo...

I have an older mill with analog +-10V servo drives, the parameters for which were normally setup using the Allen Bradley 8400 MP control, but the control is no longer working, how do I change the...

I'm looking to retrofit an older CNC mill with analog +-10V drives, the existing Allen Bradley controller is no longer functioning and will need to be replaced, can anyone suggest a suitable...

I have an older mill with analog DC servo drives, the parameters for which were normally setup using the Allen Bradley 8400 MP control, but the control is no longer working, how do I change the...

The machine I'm using has the older analog DC motor drives, how do I program/setup the drives without the original controller?

I've recently aquired some analog servo drives which run DC motors on a mill, however the original controller on the mill does not function so I am unable to command the drives to move.

If I can...

This might seem like a stupid question, but considering it was originally stated that missing steps via the use of steppers is not an option, why are pulleys being considered, I would have thought...

I currently have my two VSD-Es, one in dual DC, the other in parallel DC.

In dual DC mode, I am running two KL23-130-60, for X and Y axes, current limits set at 11A cont. 20A peak. I increased...

Really as per the title, I have some motors hooked up to a VSD-E in dual DC mode, however I'm having trouble with them because the drive is constantly entering fault mode and then slowly moves to...

Why would fine tuning be necessary? Surely the number of pulses per inch should be consistent?

So I'm trying to enter the correct value for pulses per inch in the motor tuning dialog. My values are as follows, 512 pulse encoder on motor shaft, connected to gearbox with ratio 42.920634:1 ratio....

Issue has been solved, the problem was a bad encoder.

I'm having a little trouble wiring from the CMD connector to a 3rd party BOB in Dual DC mode.

What I currently have is below, CMD pin names are from the dual Dc manual. I can get the X axis to...

The problem is motor dependant, swapping harnesses has no effect. Shielding is foil, on encoder lines and braid over the power. Should shielding be terminated at both ends or just the drive end?
...

Yes, sorry I should have specified, the problem remains with the same motor regardless of which channel is being used. If the encoder is losing counts, shouldn't that show up when I have "detect...

Can someone please confirm the 6 pin SPI header pinout?

I have swapped both motors to the opposite channel with no change. Does this sound like an encoder issue though? The drive is clearly over shooting and undershooting but the 0 point is drifiting with...

I have 2 identical motors attached to a VSD-E in dualDC mode. Using identical settings one of the motors settles in approx 30ms, the other is unable to settle and very quickly becomes unstable. In...

I have recently got my hands on a VSD-E card and flashed it to the dual DC firmware. I can connect and alter drive settings using the DCtool software, but I get "communication error" fault when...
