Can anyone tell me how to hook up Hurco to the Kflop

Hurco KBM-1

seem to have dc servo drive

hence the kanalog won't be needed. (i believe)

Most commercial machines that have used DC brushed motors have analogue (+-10vdc) drives.

Thanks Al,

I'll have a look to see if I can find something, I do recall seeing a +-5V somewhere.

Do you know where I could find a picture of a fully install Kflop and Kanalog with the wiring ?

Send Tom an email maybe?

Al, I have just posted a similar thread, I will get pictures of my setup ASAP. I can describe out for you how I did things if you want. if you like it id be flattered if you use it if you don't... meh, haha maybe we can collaborate a bit.

Hi TremFab, could you be so kind to post the link in this tread also pls I would love to see the picture and the description;. it would be really helpfull. I didn't have time to do any work since I was busy on another project.
thanks you so kind.

Hi k-linkz,

You will need to determine what type of components are in your system and how it is wired. Do you have wiring diagrams?

As Al points out the most common approach is to have +/-10V analog signals going to the Motor Amplifiers that the Control uses to control Motor Speed. If you can find those connection I often recommend a simple test to apply a small voltage to see if the motor moves. Use a 1.5V battery through a 1K ohm resistor. The motor should move at 15% of full speed. If you reverse the battery the motor should drive the other direction.

The next issue would be to determine what type of feedback there was. Hopefully there are digital quadrature encoders.

If this is your case then you most likely can interface with our KFLOP+Kanalog boards.

I've attached two wiring diagrams from previous KFLOP+Kanalog Users. There may be some mistakes but it may give you some ideas.

Regards

Thx Tom.

I'll have the specs of the motor and the servo drive soon, as I have many on them. thx
