Microturn Spindle Encoder
Posted: Thu 01 Nov , 2012 18:40 pm
While I'd love to have an original Denford encoder, cost of a new one for my "hobby" machine is simply out of reach and fitting a "hobby" priced encoder is my only option.
After a load of reading on the board I think I have enough information to get started.
Do I have the following correct?
Spindle motor to encoder drive: 1:1 belt
5VDC supply
Counts: 2000 PPR (Uses A output - A/ unused) DenStep reads both rising and falling pulse edge thus Encoder Count = 4000 in INI file.
Index (Z): 1 PPR
Line Driver output
After fitting an encoder I should use MicroTurn2000NS.ini configuration file.
I have my fingers crossed that I have this right -
