Over the weekend I managed to get relay 2 and 3 controlling my servo motor and its direction using a Mk3/9-axis controller along with an output board.
I have a shielded 2-core cable connected t othe 0-10v and ground which in turn powers the speed control of my servo.
However, when testing the output with a multi-meter I only get about 1.7-2.3V's out of the +ve line... thus my AC Servo motor (and driver) only spins up to about 850.... now there must be a little bit of noise going through the output board, as the voltage swings a little, but the RPM changes are round the 850-837-865 mark, which I can cope with.
I have not yet ran a shielded line for POWER IN (or GROUND), but mesuring the power on the terminal registers 12.6 or 12.7 (on a second test) and stays constant, so I am not worried there.
The 12VDC is coming from a transformer that is 12V/16.5A and it is not controlling/charging/powering anything else.
I have tried testing with 1 relay on and looking at the multi-meter, with 2 relays on and with no relays on.... seems to make no difference to the voltage output.
One other thing I find kinda interesting is when I apply the +ve line for the multimeter to the +ve terminal and NOT connect the GND line to GND, the voltage roughly doubles coming out of the output board? I assume based on the resister it has to pass is causing some sort of extra current on the +ve point?
Any thoughts or advice on how to get the max power output?
I have tried 400, 800 and 1200 hz as the frequency setting which makes no change...
I have also set the minimum speed to 0 or 200, and the max to 6000
However, when I sent M3 s1000 or s6000 it seems to make little to no difference to the voltage out from the output board.
Any recommendations much appreciated.
