Will Mach 3 work with my drive input. - CNCzone.com-The Largest Machinist Community on the net!

Hi I have a couple of Panasonic AC Servo "MUDS" drives, in the data sheet it says it takes the following input signals for positional control.

1) Quadrature (A and B) input
2) CW (PULSE)/CCW (SIGN) pulse input
3) Command pulse (PULS)/Sign (SIGN) input

Will any of these be suitable for Mach 3 output? PULS and SIGN sounds very similer to STEP and DIR but they could be nothing like each other?

Cheers

Yes, Mach3 outputs Step / Direction (pulse & sign) by the default so if you set the drive to accept that it should work fine.
