I would have thought that if the motor turned more than 1/2 a turn or so but the encoder feed produced no pulses then this would be an easily detected error condition? If you are getting pulses from one channel only, then that is very easily detected ... Surely a 'runaway' like this SHOULD be handled by the servo driver? Is there a market for a module to monitor the two encoder feeds and us it in conjunction with either the index pulse or an extra source that indicates that the encoder should be giving output? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
