Well, I've done some work with Yaskawa ServoPak drives, using my Universal Stepper Controller. Since the Yaskawa uses a very high resolution encoder (is it 4000 cycles/rev, giving 16,000 quadrature counts/rev? I think it might be that high.) you need a very high step rate to drive this in the step/direction mode. Or, you can use my PPMC boards to drive it in the velocity mode with +/- 10 V analog commands. The earlier drives had only one mode available, there were SGDP and SGDS, P for step positioning and S for speed or velocity drives. I think I've got these model #'s right. The later drives could do either by programming selection. Jon ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
