Re: Oak controller with ACDC-60s on Fadal VMC3016; control issue questions

Woohoo! Looks like that was my problem - still having the default home switch numbers as inputs. @cncsnw, maybe that needs to get added to TB127 as a revision saying to confirm zero if no home switches are present? Also, I didn't see anything in the documentation about the default homing motions bei...

Re: Oak controller with ACDC-60s on Fadal VMC3016; control issue questions

When manually jogging I can see the asterisk on all three axes. I was able to even jog and land on the index pulse (asterisk stays on) with the machine Y axis.

Re: Oak controller with ACDC-60s on Fadal VMC3016; control issue questions

Oops, pulled the automated backup instead of the one I manually created after I tried to switch to the Ref HS setting. Both had the same date which is why I missed that.

Here's the one from a few minutes ago.

Re: Oak controller with ACDC-60s on Fadal VMC3016; control issue questions

Update, I did switch the Z and Y axis so now the actual Y axis on the Fadal is labeled Z in the controller. Same issue. The motor just keeps moving in one direction multiple motor rotations. This axis has the Centroid provided encoder cable going from the 10k line encoder to the ACDC-60 drive.

Re: Oak controller with ACDC-60s on Fadal VMC3016; control issue questions

Sorry, completely forgot about attaching the report.

Is there a way to edit that program code to have the X or Y axis go first? I suppose alternatively I can rename the axes accordingly to have the X labeled as the Z for this purpose.

Re: Oak controller with ACDC-60s on Fadal VMC3016; control issue questions

Thanks! I'm finally back at it now that I'm wrapping up a composites project. I got the values entered and ran a dummy program followed by a program I had to write in a pinch to run the VMC as a lathe to get a custom taper and everything looks steady. A new question ... not sure if it needs to be a ...

Re: Oak controller with ACDC-60s on Fadal VMC3016; control issue questions

eng199, thanks for the feedback on the current limits. I knew they could be higher than the continuous but didn't know how high and figured starting lower was better than too high. The motors are GM6060-50, not GM6090-50 (I got caught too looking at the wrong one a couple times because they're close...

Re: Oak controller with ACDC-60s on Fadal VMC3016; control issue questions

Well shoot, that's interesting! Can you point me to where it says not to use those values for the AC/DC? I'd like to be able to point to it if someone else has to take over one day. I started and reduced the Kg to 0 and that eliminated the quick jump at the first jog after power on or releasing the ...

Re: Oak controller with ACDC-60s on Fadal VMC3016; control issue questions

Hi, You are correct, it's GM6060-50 (listed generically by Fadal as a GM6000 but based on the current ratings, resistance, inductance, etc identical). I do already have the poles setting at 0 but that was a good check. No error messages have been displayed. I was able to start with values for the Gl...

Oak controller with ACDC-60s on Fadal VMC3016; control issue questions (Resolved)

I'm converting a Fadal 3016 with original electronics (in other words a mostly stock machine meaning Glentek RM6060-50 servos) to use a new Oak controller with Centroid provided ACDC-60 drives, PLC 1616, and touch screen console with built in PC. Eventually I'll have it as a fully running machine bu...
