    Help for CMC MDCX16012 DC servo amp. information

    I had brought a Cleveland Motion Controls, Inc. (CMC) MDCX16012 DC
    Brush Servo Amp.at a surplus store. But NO enough Information for this unit
    even at the CMC website www.cmccontrol.com.
    The MDCX16012 is brush type servo amp. But the datasheet at CMC Website
    is obvious a brushless type (3 hall sensor signal pins and u,v,w motor
    connector).Did anyone ever use this one? Could you help me with connector pin
    defination and user manual? Or does any one know how to connect this MDCX16012 to Pixie?

    The photo of this unit is at

    Well there is this on the CMC web site
    http://www.cmccontrols.com/downloads...s_mdc_mdcx.pdf
    A BLDC drive can be used on a brushed motor if you can set the commutation angle to 60° and then use the U&V motor connections, and no connection to the hall inputs.

    Thanks to Al_The_Man!
    This is a little strange. They claimed the MDCX16012 is a brushed motor amp, but used BLDC connector in a brushed motor amp. CMC has ACS 1300 Brushless Servo Amplifier and MBL / MBLX Brushless Servo Amplifier.
    Is there any more information ?

    Yeah, I found that a little strange also.
