thanks, will have to add some temp probes and try to leave some space for a heatsink in the chassis layout.
on further inspection my 24v supply has a pot on it, so i should be able to dial back a few volts.
I have braked motors so have the brakes and drives on this 24v supply. Both this supply and the dc bus supply are on an ssr which is computer controlled. I have done this because i need to be able to ensure the disabled pins are logic high before turning everything on. Does this seem like a logical way of doing things? (brakes are not stopping anything moving, so startup safety shouldnt be an issue).
after i have provided dc bus and logic supplies, but have disable held high does the encoder power get supplied?
when i set disable to low, how long a delay do i need to leave for startup before my pc starts sending commands?
on logic current requirements, am i right in thinking that you draw 200ma plus the encoder load?
if any of this isnt easy to answer dont worry, i can always do a bit of experimentation.  |
