I have spent thousands of dollars and a thousand hours of time and then a couple hundred hours of trouble shooting time.. I have had enough.
Yesterday I pulled the box of servo drives and the c-62 board. I now have wired in a Bob Campbell breakout board and gecko 203V drives. I wired them directly to the servo motors already installed on the machine and bypassed the encoders. In short, the machine is now working, though it is not going to have encoders . I will continue to find a solution for this just probably not the units I have now.
there should be self test buttons and other easier setups. I believe the leadshine are probably the best for OEM systems, just not my platform. I do not have the bandwidth for this.
you and several like you have been very gracious in spending time to help me in this. For that I thanks yo very much. I am available for any conversation .
