Hi all -

Long story short I came to own a XY gantry driven by permanent magnet linear motors - the motors & encoders are connected to servo drivers that are daisy chained with ethernet.

I'm looking to try and get these motors running but I am at a loss of how to figure out how to drive them because I don't have any information on the motor itself or servo driver. I'm familiar with typical rotary servo signals and connecting to a motion controller but I have not used any drives with an ethernet connection or linear motor before. I've reached out to the company that originally made the machine but I doubt they will get back to me or help me too much since I'm not the original customer. Any thoughts on how to go about this? Would love to give this machine a new life!

Cheers,
Michael
