[Emc-users] trying to trace a missing pwm signal

2020-10-19 Thread Gene Heskett
Greetings all; I am currently setup to use a 2nd pwmgen in a 5i25, which should come out on the bob plugged onto p2 at pin 5 dir as dir, and pin 6 for the pwm. I am not going to use the dir because these h-bridges need both a fwd and a reverse drive to cause the top half of the h-bridge to

For example my drives have two different modbus unlock commands, one unlocks the drive to accept normal inputs that you would use for controlling the drive every day. The other unlock command requires writing a pass code to a register to unlock writing to all the different parameter registers

If your Fanuc machine came with PLC editing installed and enabled, then doing that part will be relatively simple. (All of the Fanuc machines I'm currently working with have). But that doesn't mean that yours does. We have Fanuc machines from 3 different manufactures all built around the

All of the VFDs I've used with modbus (a very small subset) have had the capability of accessing all of their parameter settings via modbus. You'll have to consult your drives documentation. Todd Zuercher P. Graham Dunn Inc. 630 Henry Street  Dalton, Ohio 44618 Phone:  (330)828-2105ext. 2031

Hi All I'm looking at getting a small VMC that has a Fanuc 0M controller on it. Much to my chagrin, I found out that there is no I/O on the machine. (for fixtures, probes etc.) I was expecting a Harting plug on the side. So any functionality has to be 'enabled' and hardware added and brought
