Re: Toroidal power supply question

That's expected from wiring in a transformer. Coils are just coils of wire after all. They'll have some DC resistance but not very much. If I remember correctly, you are using a circuit breaker upstream of this toroidal supply. I would flip the switch on the breaker to disconnect the toroid from the...

Yes, I would put that rightmost ground to the COM pin on the analog output header.

Re: Voltage divider/ cable ?

I have a prime weld cut 60 plasma cutter and the centroid cable from the plasma cutter to the THC board. I'm planning on changing the internal voltage divider to a proma voltage divider. My question is once I've changed the voltage divider to the proma unit can I still use the same cable from the p...

Re: G-Code

If I am understanding you correctly, you need the Mozaik Cabinet software to output GCode for Centroid? They appear to already have a Centroid postprocessor included or available. Does that postprocessor not work for your machine?

Re: Millport VMC1660 Centroid Upgrade (Leadshine EL7)

In the pictured schematics, it looks to me like that spindle chiller would be turned on by CNT4 when CNT1 is closed (not in E-stop) and PLCIO2 H7 OUT 30 is closed. To replicate that on S15259, I would add a CNT5 and OCR4 following the pattern of the CNT2/OCR2 block. Of course, you'll need to put the...

Re: AUX MPG Inputs on MPG terminals of USBBOB

USBBOB communications protocol information is attached to this post. It is very similar to the Ether1616 protocol.

Re: Anilam Crusader series M converting to Allin1DC

No ventilation at all? It should be fine like that.

However, our recommended cabinet setup is a sealed cabinet with filtered intake fans mounted towards the bottom and unfiltered air exits near the top. Our stock and custom built system cabinets have louvers near the top of the door.

Re: Anilam Crusader series M converting to Allin1DC

I don't recommend having unfiltered fans blowing across the ALLIN1DC even if the cabinet air intake itself is properly filtered. I've seen enough drives damaged by conductive dust blown into them to recommend against that.

Re: Deckel fP4A Dialog11

I cannot say I have done such a retrofit and I have not seen any Deckel specific documentation but from what I have read about those machines, a Centroid controller would do very well. I read that model would have Siemens DC servos fitted with Bosch amplifiers. If you can get specifications for the ...
