I missed the beginning of this. What kind a machine is this? As for the power supply, they are very hard to debug if you don’t have a schematic. But what about replacing it entirely? Good motors are always expensive. But encoders have gotten cheap and easy to use. The last one I bout

Hello again guys, Well, I can confirm the encoders communicate with the control using serial interface. I have some heidenhain ERN471 encoders that I could adapt in case these can't communicate with LCNC, so that shouldn't be a problem. My main concern now is to interface all of this with the

You could try looking up the encoder part number or the motor part number in the Fanuc servo conections manual. There "might" be a pinout for the encoder cable there which would tell you if it is serial or quadrature. (Fanuc's "Info Link" CD is useful for this sort of thing.) Todd Zuercher

Leonardo, How many defective motors do you have? Here's the link for the STMB motor drive. https://github.com/rene-dev/stmbl I don't recall the web site for the forum. Andy might have that handy. Might be worthwhile posting on that forum with the motor and encoder information. Someone is likely

Well, from what I can see on Granite Devices website, their Argon servo drives are now discontinued so that eliminates one big possibility for replacing the fanuc drives and keep the motors. I don't know if Pico systems or MESA has a drive for the power these motors require. Although I'm not going
