i was gifted a servo3IO rev 010605 and looking for some information on it
i have 2 fanuc 5M dc servos ( 151v and 9A each )and one 0m (96V 7.2 A) will the servo 3IO handle them
i was looking for any documentation on the servo 3IO
any help is appreciated thanks :)

Chances are good that you could power any of those motors with the SERVO3IO unit.

If you want to run all three of them, they will all have to run on the same bus voltage.

You will need to keep the bus voltage below 130VDC in any event. The SERVO3IO has lower-voltage components than the current Allin1DC.

You will, of course, need a Centroid CPU board to talk to it: either a CPU7 or CPU10 board with CPU7 PIC (not IO2PIC); or an MPU11 board with the LegacyAdd interface.

If your motors do not have Pulse Coder feedback (5VDC, quadrature, differential) then you would need to install suitable encoders on them before you can use them with any Centroid control system.

Probably. You still need a servo power supply suitable for the motors, and you still need a compatible controller board.

For my next dumb question
AC servo for a spindle motor
Will the servo 3 io run it
What is the signal that the board puts out

Thanks for all the help

SERVO3IO puts out analog 0-10V (optional 0 to 5, -5 to 5, or -10 to 10) for the spindle. You will need a spindle drive that can be controlled by analog voltage level.
