Some of these systems had a screen resolution setting in the BIOS. This is because the LCD driver is part of the motherboard. It is a wide parallel bus, not standard VGA, etc. Look around the BIOS...

This is usually from a bad cable connection or bad solder joint. The 4 pin connector can easily be cleaned up by spraying with an electronic cleaner and plugging / unplugging several times. Solder...

The first thing to try is cleaning the card edge fingers and motherboard slot and re-plugging several times time make sure the connection is good.
The board is fairly complex, so anything beyond...

It was a holiday the end of last week and vacation day for many on Monday. You should get a response shortly as people work through the email backlog. Centroid direct contacts will be mostly...

In less technical terms, A and B signals are swapped verses "industry standard". This is a likely point of confusion if you wire to different drives.

Ask Centroid support about upgrade options. There are ways to either keep the SERVO3IO or go to ALLIN1DC. Both will be simpler and better than trying to piece together something with ACORN.

One thing is for sure... a Centroid hater thread never dies. They are often brought back or kept at the the top by (mostly) pro-Centroid posts after 10+ years!

Grove is a Seeed Studio thing. It is not supported by Centroid firmware.

It is the protocol for PLC expansion boards on the MPU11 generation of controls. The most common expansion board is PLCADD1616.

S-curve is used when smoothing is off, trapezoidal is used when smoothing is on. This sounds reversed, but there are other techniques used in smoothing to get good results.

Mach3 is taking their chances, probably because they don't want to spend months wading through the ridiculous pile of regulations.
If you want to know, you can start researching EAR part 774. You...

The 3.5V and 0.5V thresholds are for the encoder connection detector circuit. The actual voltage thresholds may also vary based on the generation of your control card. If you are not getting "Bad...

A post about your specific problem would be more productive than little jabs in old Centroid threads.

This sounds like an ideal system to upgrade to a Centroid ALLIN1DC system.

Actually, both systems are closed loop, the loop is just not closed in the same place. The Viper 250 drive closes the position loop, so the Centroid control will be unaware of any position errors. ...

The ground should be large to provide the lowest possible resistance. The larger wire circumference will also improve high frequency conductivity due to skin effect. This will allow the ground to...

One of the problems is the VFD is on the floor with relatively small ground wires attached. The drive must be mounted on a grounded electrical panel, preferably the same one as the rest of the...
