I have just developed a signal converter that allows Fanuc red cap brushless motors to be used with Pico Systems, as well as other brushless drives. The problem was that Fanuc had a proprietary scheme for encoding the commutation information. My converter reads the proprietary position information at startup and converts to standard Hall signals. Once the motor has passed the index position, the converter counts the quadrature pulses to determine the right commutation phase.
I will be demoing a prototype of this at the EMC Fest in Wichita May 21-27, and should have it out as finished product in about a month after that.
