I got my motor working ,on the bench, using Pico systems pwm controller, brushless servo amplifier and Fanuc encoder converter.
I had a few minor problems but Mr Elson at Pico systems was most helpful by telephone and e-mail in solving my problems.
Due to low humidity in my basement I have quite a problem with static electricity. Every time I get out of my chair it generates enough electricity to make a 1/2 inch long spark. Needless to say, I ended up zapping the servo amplifier a number of times. Even though the the damage caused by this was completely my fault, Mr Elson graciously repaired it free of charge .
I was a bit discouraged ,for a time, because the motor would not run at all with the PID tuning settings in the INI file that came with EMC. Mr Elson gave me some settings to try and it has worked like a charm ever since.
My machine won't be ready for some time so I rigged up a wooden brake on the shaft coupling to give the motor a load to work against.
I'm running the motor at 60 volts for now( I plan to up that to 100 volts later)and it runs smoothly and has a fair amount of torque. I can barely stall the motor by pinching the coupling between two fingers.
As you can see from the photos it is quite a large motor. The servo amplifier is rated 20 amps . After running for a few minutes I can feel a couple degrees of warmth on the heat sink but no sign of overheating.
My next task is to figure out how to use the HAL oscilloscope feature that is included in EMC and do some fine tuning of the motor performance.
