I have since been advised on connection. (same as what you posted)
So I do have motion now.

Still going thru some hurdles as far as tuning the drives and getting the speed up.

Attached is the installation manual.
Yes, please advise if you forsee anything that may cause some trouble.

Parallel Port breakout boards, motherboards, and dedicated accessories / PMDX-126 wiring to AC Servo Drive (kollmorgen)

« on: April 20, 2015, 03:17:14 PM »

Hello, I have PMDX-126 and not finding good information online how to wire this to my AC servo drives.

I have an industrial CNC router that I am retrofitting to Mach3 controller. Just about have everything buttoned up and rewired regarding e-stop, homes, limits, enable, fault etc.. but I am not getting any motion.
Yes, the drives do work (they move in serial cable setup mode) and they are enabled when I have attempted.

This is a pinout of C8 (a serial connector on the top on drives) It is used when in GEARING MODE set to PULSE/DIRECTION.

PIN 1 - A+
PIN 2 - A-
PIN 3 - (DC common)
PIN 4 - B+
PIN 5 - B-
PIN 6 - (SHIELD)
PIN 7 - (reserved)
PIN 8 - I+
PIN 9 - I-

Servo Drive: SERVOSTAR S: SR03200-2G203B
Servo Motor: GOLDLINE: M-203-B-23

Picture attached is how I was told by a user on another website to connect to PMDX-126. Tried, but nothing happened.

HELP!

Thank you Steve.

Is there an M8 threaded, 3 wire sensor with similar or better range that you can recommend for using with the PMDX-126 ?

Hello,

My machine has 9v inductive sensors for homes on all axis.
They are 2 wire sensors that are in a state of 9v @ 1 mA
with no metal present or 9v @ 3 mA with metal present.

Will these work directly on the PMDX-126 ?
If not, is there a board I can buy to make them work?

Sensors look to be actually 8.2v
Namur SI8-N1 (datasheet attached)

Thanks,

Noob
