Re: How to control a servo motor?
There are basically two possibilities, you have a CNC controller that closes the loop, i.e. the encoders goes back to It and the drive just receives a signal from the controller to position the motor, IOW there is no feedback to the drive itself.
The Other is the encoder goes back to the drive which is then this that controls position, based on a signal from the CNC controller.
So it would help to see more info, drawings or pics of the present set up.
Trace the encoder back to where it ends up and this also will help decide what system you have.
