What kind of machine is this? What make/model are the servo amplifiers? its a 1980 mazak micro turn slant 15, im using china 1.5w ac servo drives in velocity mode. Vfd is a mitsubishi one that came on machine. same as this one https://atlasshipcareservices.com/d/mitsubishi-electric-diarol-dl-scz-sp...

Also im uploading pics of the wiring on the spindle on this machine Do i have to use the -15v to +15v for the signal? meaning do i have to use that power from that power supply and or somehow tie that into oak to use?

Will just changing the parameter allow me to use mdi and get correct voltage output? Or is that something that wont work till plc is made completely?
Cause im just trying to make sure i have right stuff working before i start the final wiring and routing.

If you are using a Centroid factory PLC program, you change the spindle analog range by forcing (Ctrl-Alt-F) OUT15 and/or OUT16. I think for +/-10V you set both OUT15 and OUT16 on. If you are using one of my PLC programs, then you add 4 to Parameter 178 to select +/-10V, and the PLC program then co...

Looking good.

ALso bench tested the oak and everything is fine spindle has right output voltage. I have the x axis working with servos drive. But i need to change the spindle to -10v +10v output. I can't seem to find anything on this in parameters or searching manuals. Trying to test my spindle drive with oak now.

Wow im doin a 1980 micro slant 15 as we speak. Lol.

If the servo drive provides its own 24V for sequencing, then you probably want to connect the commons ("24v return" or "ground", not to be confused with chassis ground) together, but you would neither connect Oak's +24V supply to the drive, nor connect the drive's +24V supply to...

Question i have is im using the oak and a servo drive with 24v on the servo drive to power it per manufacturer pinout (velocity mode if it matters) . And i noticed on the oak header pin we have +24v pin and +24v return (- ground i assume). So on the oak is the a 24v power output from header to servo...

Position mode is the preferred interface. The control loops are all tightly integrated on the drive in this mode, which gives the most potential for high performance. I didn't see a brand mentioned, but can tell you that Yaskawa will give excellent results in position mode. Other modes require the ...
