Like i said the machine that i own is a cnc router and it controlled by alphacam , the original problem is that i had to buy like license or some code to activate the software in order to get the machine work , so i dicided to modif it with a simple controller and simple software
I think the original controller generate an analog data
So i will chage just the mode of control to pulse and some wiring
Hi,
well I did not find that, so yes it can be programmed by button pushing, but good luck with that. There are hundreds of parameters and while most
can be left alone there are still several dozen that you need to take control of.
Some of the numbers you have to enter are 32 bit integers which require 10 decimal digits, and the display on the drive is only five or six digits wide, so you can't even
see the complete number....a PITA. If you can get the software then buy the cable, manual programming is a joke.

Hi,
there are likely to be dozens that you will tweak until you are happy.
The main ones are the parameters controlling the pulse input, their polarity and filtering.
The next most important are the numerator and denominator of the electronic gear ratio.
Thereafter parameter that affect max acceleration, velocity, current , voltage , torque.
You will also need to set the 'Following Error Window' and the 'Zero Error Window'
That should allow you to start using the servo but now you have to tune it. There may be an Auto-tune feature but often
you will still tweak the tuning parameters by hand. Its a slow process involving a dozen or so parameters.
Craig
Hi,
setting up an servo may seem daunting, and it iU]is[/U] a learning curve. The good news is that once you learn it you can apply it elsewhere.
Almost all modern servos a broadly speaking identical to each other, so if you can program one you can program them all. Every manufacturer
has different terminology which may trip you up, and some have features which are seldom found, or go about calculating parameters in a different
manner, with a different numeric result thereby preventing you from swapping numbers from one drive to another, but despite the extraneous details
are the same.

Hi,
I'm off sailing for the day, big racing regatta this weekend...

You have had a lot of replies, I have not seen anything on your startup.
First you need to use Jog mode to see if everything is working correct before moving on the the next step with CN1 connections
So once your power connections are verified as correct, then you can with the KeyPad use the mode key to set the Jog settings if you have the manual this is in section 6 Operation Jog operation
this will also get you familiar with the KeyPad use.
If you need the manual, you can find it here

You only need the servo motor and Encoder connected to the drive then the main power input connections make sure you have a disconnect for turning it On / Off
Don't forget the Ground wire connection from the incoming Main Power supply to the servo drive.
Do you have the CNA, Plug, this has the main Power and control power connections.
No CN1 connections are not needed for Jogging
You don't need the control Board to setup and do Jog Testing

The machine was working well the only problem that i have is alphacam software demande a licence maybe or a code so i want to change all the control systeme to mach3 or nc studio
So i think for jogging it will work well and for the power supply and all the conection are aleready exist
My ideas is just modifying parametre for control mode a simple wiring with the new controller board

Woo slow down, Alphacam has nothing to do with your machine control. Alphacam is the cam software that you make your programs in,
You don't need to do any of this, your machine is already a wired running machine
What is your Machine and what kind on control is on it? take some photos of everything
Mactec54
You have to take some photos of your machine and control, so we know what your machine is and what control it has.
You don't need to do this Jog test, unless this was a new machine build, you would do this as the drives where being installed, your system was already installed and has been running
What control does the machine have.
