Hi All,

I used to work with CNC 15years ago, till recently when I got involded in a factory stock clean up...

purpose is first to get a single controller+ servo working again and w'll see from there, idea is , like many here , to make my own 3axis build. not only the build build also the programming intrigues me ..

so hereby , my first question
the controller :
Yaskawa SGDA-04VS Servopack , which think is a speed controller and not a torque controller , for 'playing' around more than enough .
the servo...saddly enough someone manager to wipe the details partially.

my questions:
-can I drive the SGDA straight from serial port (RS232)or do I need some middleware?
-
does anybody have a idea about the servo wiring?

- the thick orange (labelled : KEB 00.S4.019-0010) one has 3 thick leads(the 3 phases) and 2x2 thinner wires coming out.

- the other orange (labelled : KEB 00.S4.109-010) wire is most likely the encoder and has 5 black wires with no marking.

I tried the search function first but did not find the info I needed,

all help/feedback welcome

for easy of use I temporarly added the images to my other website
