Yes, the component can just feed a rotating field to the motor until index is seen. This does mean that the machine will move a bit during the motor-homing phase. > Also, I don't seen anywhere how to go about using a home switch + > encoder index to accurately home. I haven't tried that in conjunction with index-based commutation, but I don't think that they would interfere with each other. (I think that I would normally choose to home the motor commutation at machine-on rather than as part of the homing sequence. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
