For Hickory, the main tuning done on the Centroid side is the delay. If you have scales, that will add another position loop on top.

They are set up mostly the same as the recommended way to set up the sigma 5 tech bulletin As I said before I had the same drivre working on another machine they work wonderful over a year Right, and we have no idea how the other machine was configured nor how the drives are currently wired to the ...

You may have already checked all of these things but: How exactly are they wired? The Sigma II manual I found says that they accept up to 12V for the pull up when using open collector outputs. Are the position error clear inputs connected to anything? If not, then are they set such that they will no...

I am not sure about reversing but they have a manual reverse switch available. It might be possible to replace that with a relay arrangement. That accessory board will let you use 0-5 to control the speed with that drive. It seems like other series of their drives might have 0-10 with the correspond...

Can anyone recommend a supplier of industrial, lighted switches that have 5V LED's in them? I'm not talking about $3 switches from Amazon either. My supplier that I use for all my industrial switches only has 24v DC and then AC lighted switches. I think they might carry 12v also but I've not seen a...

I think you should find out what the current or power rating of that motor is and then find a DC motor drive to match. They are not hard to find, AutomationDirect has some options here https://www.automationdirect.com/adc/overview/catalog/drives_-a-_soft_starters/dc_drives/high_voltage_(%3E_50v)_dc_...

Hello,
You should connect the Delta ASDA-B2 drive with the screw terminals as shown in schematic S15102.

I will ask about correcting the number of pins on the connector in the drawing.

On my lathe I really only need to use two of the rotary encoder knobs: one for spindle speed and one for feed rate. I don't think I need to control rapid speeds since it's a very small lathe. Can the third rotary encoder be used as a multiplier for the X and Z MPGs I'm going to add? eg: 1x, 10x, 10...
