Re: Acorn output states not changing. Possible fried Acorn?

"Which two pins did you have incorrect Nate? Glad you got it worked out! Thanks for bringing closure to your issue. Would be nice if you posted a schematic(IF it differs from the Centroid Schematic), parameters for your Delta Drive and working report. It may well help the next person. Marty&quo...

Re: Acorn output states not changing. Possible fried Acorn?

Just wanted to post an update to this issue. I installed a new acorn, and decided to triple check my wiring from the acorn to the Delta Servo drives. I had two pins incorrect. Once fixing the pins, I am fully functional. Went back to the original acorn and it works perfect. Furthermore- I installed ...

Re: Acorn output states not changing. Possible fried Acorn?

I have a geckodrive G213v stepper drive, 70vdc ps and a stepper. I will try that and see.

I have an oscilloscope, but only the faintest idea on how to use it. Its a 100mhz digital techtronics.

Acorn output states not changing. Possible fried Acorn?

Morning everyone. Happy holidays! I have been working on getting my lathe running with an Acorn and Delta ASDA-B2 drives. for the moment, the Z is the only axis I have hooked up. Actually, its not wired into the acorn right now, as I discovered that the Z would only move in one direction. Having rea...

Re: In Preperation for hooking up Delta ASDA-B2 to Acorn.

Curiously, the symbol shown on the Acorn Diagram appear to have the little question mark style features that I believe are the "overload" symbols. However the parts numbers shown above do not appear to me to have thermal overload protection.

Re: In Preperation for hooking up Delta ASDA-B2 to Acorn.

If i'm reading the OAK schematic correctly, the delta Axis drives are fed 2 phases of the 3 phase input power (labeled L2, L3) through CB3/4 and CB3/2 presumeably this is referring to Circuit Breaker. The (NB1-D10-2P) shown in the legend appears to be the following CB- https://www.ebay.com/i/1844074...

Re: In Preperation for hooking up Delta ASDA-B2 to Acorn.

I have asked Centroid to clarify....they drew the schematic. Overload relay contactor...where is the coil? It appears to me to be logic power to the drive. Which, I would want to come on when the cabinet is powered up and stay hot with the control. Hence my guess is that it should be a circuit brea...
