15+ minutes later its still translating. I don't think google-translate 
likes my ancient version of FF any more when it sys https at the head of 
the cli. Sigh, we really really need a new LiveCD. I've had a new drive 
waiting, spinning for a year now.

The encoder is described as a "Resolver" in the drive manual, but is
an odd one with 4 wires, ABC and common.
The manual gives the resolution as 614,400 cpr, but as the sensor is
very multi-pole and analogue I think that is a drive limitation.
Repeatability is given as +/-2 seconds, which matches the CPR quoted.

The input is certainly three phase.

.01 degrees is 36,000 counts/rev.  Large diameter encoders 
(maybe with interpolation) can do more, but maybe that is 
the raw resolution of the encoder without the interpolation.


I do see that there are 18 wound poles on rotor, and same on 
stator.  So, that could possibly suggest a 3-phase arrangement.

It has a very high-count encoder, thought he serial terminal connected
to the drive only reports angle to 0.01 degrees.

The motor is an odd shape, the output flange is a ring, and there is a
static tube inside that. Looking around on the web I found:
https://forum.strojirenstvi.cz/viewtopic.php?t=21057
Which rather explains the odd shape. It seems to be a motor with two
sets of coils.

There is a toothed rotor rather like a stepper motor, with a toothed
inner stator.

Is this a variable reluctance motor? Do the outer magnets simply
magnetise the rotor, or would there be more teeth on the outside?

Does it have magnets?  Or, by "outer magnets" do you mean 
the outer coils?  Yes, it certainly is some sort of variable 
reluctance motor.  I think I can just barely make out in the


strojirenstvi

picture that there is a vernier sort of relationship between 
the inner and outer teeth.

How many phases does it have for stator and rotor?

I hope you got the driver for it with it. Dissecting that into a 
schematic might reveal some secrets. Likewise, I think I'd be looking 
for a way to get the encoders full resolution out of it as .01 degrees 
sounds a bit coarse.

I can't say anything else as I've never seen a critter like that, so I am 
curious too, Andy. My background in broadcasting rather demonstrates 
that simple things that Just Work are the general order so we don't get 
to see the exotic stuff unless theres nothing else to do the job.

Translating that site into our native tongue might be a good starting 
point. I tried to learn some Chech from my fav auto scrap yard dealer 
back in the '50's, but 60+ years has erased that now and I expect Joe is 
long gone by now too. I was 22ish and he was 50ish then. I was driving a 
52 Nash Ambassador and learning from his hints where another 100+ 
virtually free horsepower was hideing. I surprised many a hot rodded 
ford in their day with it. Speedo needle well past straight down (120 
was at about 4:30pm on the dial & still getting 19 mpg), I ran off and 
hid from anything I wanted to show how it was done. The only thing it 
didn't have to match was brakes. I hopelessly warped a couple sets of 
drums all around in gotta stop situations. Teeny little 9" stuff.

Tell us what you find Andy.
