    Kflop/Kanalog/Mach3 setup motor how to ?

    Hi guys,

    got a newbie question here, i've install mach 3 then the kflop plugin on top.

    i've setup the wiring with the encoder -A +A -B +B on the kanalog. when i move the motor i see the number change in kmotion, so that good.

    i ve got 2 questions:


    1- for my servo amplifier my connection goes 1- analog sheild signal 2- Analog differential + (plus) 3- Analog differential - (minus)

    so do i take the kanalog +/-10V to the 2-analog differential + (plus) and the kanalog gnd to the 3-analog differential (minus)

    2- how do i calibrate the motor in with kmotion ? i didn't know where to go ? do i go into config/flash ? or do i calibrate in mach 3 directly.

    oh i was able to get the version send via kmotion so i'm doing something right.

    thanks for the help guys first time with kflop /kanalog Attachment 382544

    note to self found config for step on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pW-9fDLAn2s

    search to see if they have one with mach3 and kanalog integration.

    Hi k-linkz,

    1- for my servo amplifier my connection goes 1- analog sheild signal 2- Analog differential + (plus) 3- Analog differential - (minus)

    yes

    2- how do i calibrate the motor in with kmotion ? i didn't know where to go ? do i go into config/flash ? or do i calibrate in mach 3 directly.
    First get everything configured, tested, and tuned in KMotion.exe using encoder counts before running Mach3. Then set your system resolution in the Mach3 Motor Tuning. See the wiki:
    Dynomotion

    You might also read some initial testing and tuning steps here:
