  1. Fake Yaskawa SGDB servo drives (NOS still in the box)

    Hi guys,

    This is just an FYI, I got called in to a friend's shop because his "brand-new-NOS-Yaskawa-still-in-the-box" SGDB-ADG drive wouldn't work. Subsequent investigation (we disassembled the...

    Re: Fuling DZB200 Inverter

    I'll pass that along to my friend. He's got two or three that have gone belly up and need repair. The panels that these were mounted in have no cooling or air filtration. We plan on fixing that.

    One would hope so. I read the manual as those settings are for the source for controlling the drive, not programming it.


    The manual mentions an external keyboard, but doesn't elaborate. But I...

    Re: Fuling DZB200 Inverter

    Hmm, it made sense to me, but I've commissioned dozens of these kinds of drives. Mostly AB, GE, and Cutler-Hammer, with a smattering of Robicon, Yaskawa, and Fanuc. But like I said, I don't have this...

    We're testing out the spindle drive and we've run into a problem, the old Servopack CPCR-QR drive requires a speed reference and a run command. So I apply a few volts on terminals 1 & 2,...

    Re: Arduino Tape Drive Emulator for Fanuc 6

    No, it uses a 50 pin SCSI connector. But that appears to have been the handiest connector available to them at the time. It certainly doesn't need anywhere near that many pins.

    Hi guys,

    The first question is "How do you want to control it?".

    Hi, thanks for your response. :)

    Yes, I saw where the CS16600 card (Adlink PCI-8136) can do either. And the encoder that is giving us trouble is a single-ended encoder with A+, B+, and I+ (what I...

    Ah! Thank you!

    That clears that up. :)

    I did notice that the IO list that came from CamSoft has the E-Stop on pin #37, but the manual specifies pin #57. But that can get sorted out in debug.
