I can't say for certain without knowing more about exactly what you have but
Fanuc of that era should use ordinary encoders, fed directly to the control,
the control then sends a synthetic analog tacho singnal and analog control
signals back to the servo amps, which are fairly ordinary DC servo
Heidenhain also sells absolute encoders that output SSI.
I've used them before. They are expensive. As I recall $800-$900 for
a rotary one.
If they are wired wrong they can easily be destroyed... An electrician

intervene.

My friend speculated that maybe the updates that installed (over 60 MB
worth of packages) included a different video driver that greatly
decreased the latency problem and I commented that this seemed like a
probable explanation based on my limited knowledge. The difference was

I just went to look at a '80s Bridgeport VMC with Heidenhain controller
and Fanuc yellow cap servos (didn't get inside a cabinet for closer
investigation - yet). The beast has a tool changer and a bad controller.
Anyone have experience with that particular configuration? Particularly,

You can buy demo boards from digikey and I think they have versions up to
14bit (?). 12 bit for sure. Also, they have ABI output (channel a,
channel b, and index) as well as pwm and ssi. Hmm, ABI wouldn't work

Possibly not enough resolution for a rotary table.
Something like the Heidenhain angle encoders might be better, they
turn up on eBay occasionally.

Hi Andy,
My definition of absolute encoder for this exercise is as follows:
Given a rotary table of infinite rotations I want the encoder to count to
359.( depending on resolution) and the next position to be 0.000.
The axis position of 90 degrees is always the same place.
The sign +/- tel

What sort of absolute encoder? What do you want to do with it?

If you can't fix it, you don't own it.
Gentlemen,
I desire to use an absolute encoder.
I will work that direction if someone will point me to a good starting

There is, but licensing problems mean that it can't be a part of LinuxCNC.

Well, to give my understanding,
To have a real time interface to physical world, there is the need to
use some hardware. When you speak about hardware, you mean as well
driver, and this start to be quite complicated.

Thanks. I realize the question was about specific Mesa choices but at one
point it was like "I have a servo, what Mesa card do I use?" Not stated was
whether there were any options. Like "I have a servo, what's the best
servo/encoder controller out there?"
So I was curious.

That is not true at all.
LinuxCNC supports a fairly wide range of I/O devices.
Jon Elson offers a line of products that we have drivers for.
We also have drivers for a couple of older servo boards, but the manufacturers
of those boards haven't been keeping up with the changes in the computer wor

Not at all.
The Pico solutions are well
I'm a little puzzled.
Lately the discussion on servos and LinuxCNC appears to give the impression
that the only solution is a PC and boards from Mesa. Does that mean

7i87 is a +-10vdc analog input card. Connects on the sserial connectors of

There's at least 3 ways to use a 7i77. I think pci 5i25, pcie 6i25 and
ethernet (7i80 or something close to that).

Hi,
I may have a nice project of retrofitting a lathe (about 20kW, quite a
nice toy, but with an old control that is dead)
I tested servo driver, they work. So basicely, all I need is:
- 3 output +- 10V (to give speed consign to servo amplifier)
- 4 quadrature input encoder (I checked this, its
