Re: Can Centroid Control this?
You can probably run that system with Oak (+OpticDirect) in analog velocity mode. The drives need the tachogenerator feedback from the motors, to do their speed control. The Oak needs quadrature position feedback to know where the axis is. No, there is no way to usefully generate a quadrature encod...

Re: Can Centroid Control this?
Hello, I've seen some DC motors with both tachogenerator feedback and encoder feedback. I see a lot of references to "measuring system" inputs on the controller and they sure look a lot like encoder inputs to me. The language in the manual suggests that they are linear encoders on the axe...

Re: Can Centroid Control this?
Also, just checked. Oak is only 4 Axis, correct? I need 5.
EDIT, watching a vid on the Oak board, there are additional Axis via the 'daughterboard'. Question about encoder feedback however will still remain. Thanks.

Re: Can Centroid Control this?
I believe you would be able to control these with an Oak in velocity mode. The wiring would probably be a little annoying since it looks like you'll have to wire the encoders directly to the Oak rather than to the drive. From reading the manual, I would try wiring like this for velocity mode: pin 1...

Re: Can Centroid Control this?
I'm assuming this is the inner working of the controller - not sure yet, so reviewing.

Ive looked at the programming manual, that doesnt cover the interfaces etc.

Re: Can Centroid Control this?
User manual for the drives attached.
Page 28/68 shows the inputs / outputs. The -10 and +10 Speed reference are what looks to be for tuning. The actual control is 9 and 10 and called 'Differential Analog Input'.
Thoughts please?
Thanks

Re: Can Centroid Control this?
Just checked, the drives are made by Control Techniques and seem to be plentiful, just trying to find a manual.

Can Centroid Control this?
Looking at a Gate machine, 5 axis. It currently has a Hedenhain controller - TNC407 / TNC 415B / TNC 425 (one of these, all in the same manual, not sure which one). The X Y and Z are all DC drives and are Maestro 140X8/16. The A and C Axis are Mini Maestro 60 x 7/14. I dont know if they are DC but l...
