I have some Electrocraft drives that have 50 I/O to the controller. So the breakout board is rather large yet sparely populated. I have bare 50 pin connectors and some breakouts that have 14 and some that have 15 pins. If I just have the analog command (2), enable (1), fault reset (1), I/O common (1). I/O power (1), and the encoder passthrough (6), that only leaves 2 pins on a 14 pin breakout.
Looking at the possible outputs, there is a differential drive ready, and a couple of other ones. I am thinking that the ready is the only status line I really need. Actually, the "ready" signal is a relay, so I could hook one line directly to ground and the other through a pull down resistor to I/0 power and free up a second signal on the 14 pin breakouts. Anyone have any experience with this that would suggest adding another status line? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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
