Hi Marius Maybe a small Delta Plc from Electro Mechanica could do the job. I managed to control a stepper with one of them. On Wed, 28 Mar 2018, 17:46 Marius Liebenberg, wrote: > Hi all > I have to put together a system that will use one servo to drive a small > platform

Hello An Arduino would work I think, if the driver takes step/dir inputs then motion is simply a pulse loop. Speed control or travel ends can be added easily too. On Wed, Mar 28, 2018, 18:46 Marius Liebenberg wrote: > Hi all > I have to put together a system that will

Many Digital servo drives can be configured for simple motion moves via their internal logic. Automation Direct and Teco servo drives can do that.   You can trigger the motion with digital I/O.   The motion is basic but that may be all you need. Dave On 3/28/2018 11:15 AM, Marius Liebenberg
