I am in the beginning stages of a PC conversion using a Galil motion control card and am having trouble identifying wire numbers for the axis enable and command enable. I think the X command is wire 208 (Galil's term is MOCMDX) and the drive enable is wire 367 ( Galil's term is AMPENX), ground is wire 366. If this is correct, I'm well on my way. If not, I'm in trouble. If I get confirmation on X, I can extrapolate for Y and Z. I'm also not sure of the terms Can anyone verify or dispute these ideas? I sure could use some help on this. Thanks |

| Tom, Not having any replies, I may be able to help, but I am not familiar with the BP wiring but am with Galil hardware, If you are stuck for responses, post the BP drive input connections or schematic and I could probabally help. The MOCMDX is the ±10vdc analogue to the drive and asociated common for it, the analogue command is generally fed to the drive in a shielded pair. The enable on your drive can be active HI or LO and this can be changed by chip type in the ICM2900 or other ways. Al.

Thanks for the offer. Right now, I am re-reading the theory of operation on the system to try to identify the appropriate connections. The schematics only show 4 wires going between the FMDC and Axis drive boards, so I'll start there. Someone suggested connecting a 5 volt power supply to each wire pair. The logic signal should turn the drive on, and the command should move the motor, so I'm told. Your comment identifying the MOMCDX as 10 volt analogue was very helpful. I know I will have other questions on the ICM2900 - hopefully you can help me on those, when I get to them. Thanks again. |
