    Re: Re-wiring a Gerber Sabre 408

    Hi,
    Yes the EA and EB lights will flash when you rotate the encoder shaft. Check you have the +5V and 0V supplying power to the encoder and the A and B encoder output wires connected back to the...

    Re: Re-wiring a Gerber Sabre 408

    Hi,
    Your control electronics need to be electrically isolated from your power electronics otherwise you will have noise and safety issues. The +5V for the drives control section and the +15V for the...

    Re: Re-wiring a Gerber Sabre 408

    Sorry for confusing you, I didn't explain it very well. Your encoder connection in the previous diagram was correct. The four encoder wires should go DIRECTLY to the 0V, +5V, EA and EB terminals on...

    Re: Re-wiring a Gerber Sabre 408

    Hi, Yes that's correct. Both the Viper and Machdrives BRB have 5V TTL Step/Dir inputs so wiring is the same.
    Masso S+ and D+ to STEP and DIR on BRB,
    Also don't forget the control ground between the...

    Re: Re-wiring a Gerber Sabre 408

    Looking good. When you have the encoder wired up and apply the 5V you can use the Tuna DRO screen to verify correct operation by moving the axis by hand and checking the displayed distance matches...

    Re: Re-wiring a Gerber Sabre 408

    Hi Ned,
    Wiring your encoders up to out BRB servo drive is as follows. All connections are to the blue terminal block.
    Encoder GND to BRB "0V"
    Encoder +5V to BRB "+5V"
    Encoder A+ to BRB "EA"...

    Re: Ballscrew mapping with an addon DRO

    Hi SwampDonkey,
    Yes you are correct, our dual encoder drive only works with brushed DC servo motors. You would need to swap out the stepper motors. Do you think there would be good demand for a...
