My understanding is that one should check the motor and driver specs for voltage limit, and supply with the lower of the two voltage limits. Then start with a low driver current limit, let the motor come up to temp, test the temperature, then turn the current up and repeat until the motor runs at the desired temperature (usually barely touchable). I believe that the motor sitting at idle will produce the highest temp. In addition to the Jones link, this should also have some good information: http://www.geckodrive.com/support.html -- Kirk Wallace http://www.wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/ http://www.wallacecompany.com/E45/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
