Need Help!- Driving a sureservo with Step+Direction

[AKFALAR]

from a Camsoft / Galil setup.

I'm replacing the servos and drives with sureservos. so far i am having trouble getting signal to the drives. the servos jog thru the drive unit but are not responding with the signal from the galil.



Thanks so much!

Check to see if you are getting the ±10vdc at the drive, or at least some analogue voltage.
I like to tune and test using the Galil Terminal direct first.
Why are you using step/dir with galil? or are you using the stepper output?

Yes, the previous setup was setup as step and direction. so i thought i would do minimal disturbance so we could get the machine up.

I am getting a signal from the galil. i think i must be missing some servo enable or other limit type error stopping it from responding. do you know which inputs are required? the drive has a servo enable mode and even when its enabled it does not respond.

If the drives take ±10vdc I would set them up that way from the Galil, if you command a move, you should see the analogue output on the motor command output.
Use the DMCTERM or equivalent from Galil to get the motors set up with the native commands first.
