Don't know. I rebooted and it worked. Glitch in the Matrix?

When I try to run a program it stops and says Y travel exceeded. The move was 5.5" I have 6.5" of travel in that direction. When it stops and says exceeded it is nowhere near a limit switch. I probed the stock which was much larger than the move, and it had no issues. Thanks

Thanks Marty, The colors of the wire are different from the encoder. But straight through they match yours. Listening to what you said, I ordered a double shielded cabling and solder on DB9's. Appreciate the input, I'll report back when I get everything in, at least for everyone else's benefit.

I opened the case of the connector so you could see the type I used. The other picture I just reused the terminal block that was in the machine. Thanks

This is for my spindle I have it plugged into #6 and made sure it was 6 in the parameters. The encoder used is the ***.VD model

I looked at the post for "encoder basics", I think I am somewhat, sorta, maybe correct on this ...

Thanks everyone. Everything works OK. I don't care about the spinning as long as I have my mpg. The only thing odd, is regardless whether I have the knob at 1X, 10X or 100X it still turns the same distance.

Ok, 2 more questions. I promise I won't ask anymore questions until I have another question.

1) It does not matter if it is in incremental or continuous mode; as soon as I touch 4th + or - it just keeps rotating and won't stop.

2) How do I get it to work with the MPG. The wireless screen shows A ...

Thanks, my question was poorly worded. Where I am confused is what is the proper rev count for 360 rotation. I confirmed 20,000 count and 90:1 but should the number be? for the other axis it like 10.XXXX / inch. this is rotational

Thanks again

Hi All,

That did correct the axis assignment. But I am a tad confused on setting the counts/in. The servo I have is a Centroid GM3340-* 16in-lb. Nowhere have I been able to locate the counts/rev of the encoder on this motor on the site. The Nikken rotary is 90:1.
