Have you found a manual for the drives? It sounds like they take step-dir but I wouldn't like to assume that from the data you have given. ------------------- What I find for these say pulse type or pulse train. http://db.sanyodenki.co.jp/downfile/manuals_en/SANMOTION/M0008554.pdf The file http://www.sanyo-denki.com/Data/Servo/manuals/M0008544.pdf appears to be identical, same drive model number on the first page.
There's nothing specific at all about what kind of controller they work with, just that it connects to one. In the system diagram there's just a box labeled Controller. Whatever happened to putting info in the manual like pinout diagrams and communication data formats? Remember when dot matrix printer manuals included a big section on programming to control each pin of the printhead and moving the carriage? Looks like Sanyo-Denki is keeping that kind of information a secret. They do have an RS-485 serial connection which is apparently only for setting some configuration functions with a Windows program, not for sending control commands. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.
