General Discussion / Connecting Lichuan AC Servo to PMDX-126
« on: December 06, 2019, 10:13:09 PM »
I have a Lichuan AC servo that I am hooking to be used as my spindle motor. And would like input as to if I am connecting it up correctly?
After speaking with Lichuan engineers they have sent me a diagram with what needs to be connected in order to get the drive functioning but I am not sure of the electrical diagram for the step and direction. I am not sure of what the wave symbol in the lower part of diagram between the controller and pulse and direction means? The PMDX-126 only has 1 output for each step and direction but the diagram shows a negative and positive for each of the step and direction. My interpretation of the diagram is that I apply 5v to the positive of both the step and direction and hook the negatives to the step and direction outputs of the PMDX-126. It also states that if using 5v no resistor is needed.
As for the servo enable SON (per diagram) I plan to connect that to the J13 RST and the Input common ground to J13 COM.
As for the Servo ready signal I am not sure where this should be connected.
Thanks
Jeff
