Ok, It appears that the system is already wired this way. I am now wondering if the 2 legs coming off the capacitor weren't providing power to something else.

How would I go about isolating the power from ground?

I got another response from Servo Dynamics today that said the 100vdc must be supplied from a source that is isolated from ground and has to be clean.

I am using a board from mesa electronics for the analog signals. I am not enabling the boards at the moment, I was trying to get everything wired up first. I suppose I will hook up the enables and go...

I'm not getting power to the motors.

Also, I didn't mention the drives do power on and the Voltages LED lights. Bu I check voltage going to the individual controllers and it is 72v so it is well within the drives range before error.

I do have the 70vac transformer connected, but the power from the capacitor came from a separate source. The driver panel I left completely intact, SD gave me 100 VDC for the power source but I dont...

Contacted Servo Dynamics and the capacitor receives 100vdc but I still cant source where it was getting its power

Hello,

I am in the process of finishing my conversion from the centurion 4 over to EMC and have one question. I ripped out all of the wiring and now I can't figure out what power goes into the...

Ok, I got all the encoders to atleast work now, but I have some issues I don't understand. First, the z axis encoder was bad so that was it's problem. The issue I have now is all three encoders are...

Ok, I have one last question, I hope. I wired the estop as the pinout says to in the 5120 file but if I press the button emc doesn't recognize anything happened.
Do i need power in the circuit?

Also, The outer diameter is not critical, it can be anything up to 1.25.

It has been attached, weird that it still show up for me when I look at the post.

hmm, I checked and it worked, Ill try again when I get home.

Please quote me for 4 pieces of the attached drawing. Tolerances should be +-.002. Material: mild steel. Shipped to Broomfield, co 80020

Ok thanks, I know the computer doesn't have any 5v connectors available. I will try powering the encoders separately.

From what i understand the encoders are differential they have a a/ b b/ z z/. They are all the same encoders and x works fine. I'm measuring 4.86 volts on the encoder power coming from the mesa...

Hello,

I am working on retrofitting a cnc with a mesa 5i20, 7i33, and 7i37. I finally got to the point today where everything is pretty much ready for testing. I have a problem though. The x...

Ok so I reread the section you provided, I think I understand better the hal code would be something like this correct? m5i20.1.digital-in-00, if it is correct how would I then make emc recognize...

I guess maybe I just have more reading, I kept looking for something like choosing pin 2 on P3 is estop and pin 4 on P3 is x home or something, like how i setup the pins in mach 3.

Does anyone know what the pin numbers for the home and limit switches are, I believe I have the complete manual but I can't find this information. The closest I found was each axis grid wire, I think...

Hello,
I have what may be a dumb question, I have read through the entire Hal tutorial
and looked at all the configuration files for setting up the Mesa 5i20 but I can't figure out how to assign...

I may be interested, where are you located?

Year I have checked power coming in and out of all fuses and transformers. They all get power, there is an LED that is on inside the black computer box but I am not getting any readings coming out of...

I was using everything as you just mentioned but it would still not do anything. Yesterday as I was working on it a little more I believe the computer fried. I get no interaction and no visual on the...

Ok, so I got a new cable and used all the recommended settings and it almost work. I can receive a file from the machine in both hyper terminal and dnc server . I can't figure out how to send a file...

Hello,

So I got my machine hooked up with single phase power and can program and cut parts using the controller, but I can't get a computer connected to it. I have read all that I can find on...

I got the replacement fuses in the mail yesterday and powered the machine up. Everything works great. Now I am going to see if I cant come up with a way to wire the VFD so the original speed control...

Well, Since my manual didn't include the wiring schematics ( must have been taken out and given to the companies maintenance dep. or something) I spent a couple hours and traced all the wiring that...

All the parameters are still loaded, that was the first thing I checked. I don't believe I have a yaskawa spindle drive. The mill is just the standard 4,000 rpm. I am just not getting power to the...
