optic direct

[jfavre]

I am using an oak board with a LC4DBRKOUT connected to an OPTIC DIRECT board on the DELTA slot to control a 5th axis. Is there a pinout for the LC4DBRKOUT or OPTIC DIRECT board? Will be using Kollmorgen drives.

Normally LC4DBRKOUT is used with the Yaskawa header H2. Pinout attached for H2.

The cable was marked DELTA, that is why I used the delta header, are the cables header specific?

I don't know if the ribbon cables are header specific.

If you wish to use an analog output from your servo drive to drive a load meter in the Centroid control, then it will be a little easier to do through the Delta header H3, because that header includes analog input lines. When using the Yaskawa header H2, you have to run a separate pigtail to plug J1 to get the analog load signal into the OpticDirect.

Here is the drives page of a schematic for a router retrofit I did, with Kollmorgen Servostar Cd drives connected to an Oak plus an OpticDirect.

See lines 9-12 for the OpticDirect H3 pin numbers that correspond to the various required drive signals.

The Delta cables are slightly longer than Yaskawa. There is no other difference.

The analog input is the only reason I know for using the Delta header with the breakout board. It is more convenient than using J1, just as cncsnw described.
