Re: Step response doesn't stop
"It seems your amplifier is in torque/acceleration mode as the Position...." Yes, it is. I'm guessing that encoder-velocity would be better? I'll have to figure out how to run the signals from the encoders to the driver, since they're going to the KANALOG right now - and they're differential. Can I ...

Re: setup features
There are commands to directly command the DAC Outputs. See here. That lets me set the maximum output, not the actual DAC output. Yes I can use a power supply, but it's nice to be able to confirm that the entire chain works electrically. I did have a grounding issue that I had to work through with ...

Re: Attaching position encoder.
Ok, thanks. Yes, they're differential encoders, and the position signal comes through properly - it's only the Z signal that seems to be missing, or at least I can't see it.

Re: Step response doesn't stop
You're right, it was. I had to flip the "invert" switch on the driver. Might I suggest adding an "invert output" switch capability? Now I can't get this thing to stop oscillating. I have the following settings: 100 Hz low-pass filter 2nd order filter on filter 2 P = .1 I = 1e-5 D = 0 Gain = 1 on the...

Attaching position encoder.
I'm using two Renislaw LM10 magnetic encoders https://www.rls.si/eng/lm10-linear-magnetic-encoder-system , with RS422 differential outputs for feedback on my servo system, attaching to a KFLOP/KANALOG. As per the manual, the A and B outputs attach to JP1, channels 1 and 2 for the first stage and 3 a...

Step response doesn't stop
I'm not up to speed on servo systems and could use some help in getting the loop set up. The system is as follows: an H2W Tech BLDM-B02 https://www.h2wtech.com/product/brushless-linear/BLDM-B02 linear motor driven by an AMC AB30A200AC servo amp https://www.a-m-c.com/products/?page=product&id=AB30A20...

setup features
*For checkout and initial setup, it would be quite handy to be able to directly command the output, especially the DACS, to a given level and bypass the control loop. I had to play with things for several days to insure that the output polarity was correct with respect to the position encoder. (Turn...

Re: Reading from console
I'm trying to figure out how to have a PC send commands to the KFLOP program (mostly "GO"). Correct me if I'm wrong, but the program running on the KFLOP can access the RS-232 serial port (via the KANALOG, as per http://www.dynomotion.com/Help/RS232/RS232.htm) but can't access the USB connection exc...

Re: KFLOP with KANALOG connections: PWM/DIR to driver
Thank you. There are Hall sensors and they go right to the driver amp.
