Well, today we just finished doing the testing of the signals. Thanks for the advice off course Dave :) Turns out, all the inputs and outputs on the T1 work with 24 VDC. We fooled the CNC and the alarm dissapeared, so now it's functional, with the exception of the spindle. We tested the command velocity voltage and it's 0 to 10 VDC. There's another pin for direction so it's pretty simple to replace the original drive. Fortunately the only delay is going to be the arrival of the VFD because I'm buying it from a supplier on the US, and I have to wait 3 or 4 days for it to arrive to Argentina, but anyway so far great news. The plan of converting the lathe to LinuxCNC is still on the go, because once we have it turning again we're going to start gathering all the data and boards necessary to make the conversion. The critical part here is to define how the DC servo drives work, because the idea is to mantain the originals, because the are working great. I'll be telling you how this is going! But as always thank you guys for being so kind and helpful! -- *Leonardo Marsaglia*. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
