I built a new controller for my 9x20 lathe using a 5i25/7i76 combo. I thought I had everything working but I still can’t get the spindle working correctly. I have a 1.5hp PMDC treadmill motor that I am controlling with a Cycletrol-150 DC controller. The am using the analog out from the 7i76 to

Update, I found some old photos of the motor’s id plate. I thought it was rated at 6000 rpm at 110 volts, but it was really only 3000rpm at 110volts. When I adjusted the maximum rpm in PNCConf, suddenly I was getting a solid “At Speed” indicator. John, I will still try measuring the analog

add a 10uF 16V capacitor across it. Then see if the voltage level changes from 0V to 10V. Baby steps... John > -Original Message- > From: Alan Condit [mailto:condit.a...@gmail.com] > Sent: September-13-21 1:52 PM > To: Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Emc

John, Peter and Gene, I have the Cycletrol-150 Manual. It says that you can replace the 5k ohm potentiometer with a 0-10v analog signal. The 7i76 manual says that you can use it to replace a 5k potentiometer control (0-10v). So that should work and indeed seems to be working. I have tried
