Hello everyone, Can I control brush-less servo motor[Parker BE23 series] from ADVANTAGE400(PMAC2) controller? If yes then my question is how? Thanks in advance for any helpful comment.

Hi all I want to know if turbo UMAC has the ability to execute G-code programs or it require any other software like PMAC-NC Pro2 Runtime, PMAC-NC Pro2 Designer, PMAC Executive Pro2 Suite etc. Thanks in advance for any thoughtful comment.

No, I did not tune the motor but I have closed the loop connection wise.What is the next step to control the motor speed?

I am using ADVANTAGE 400. I am trying to use the analog output of the PMAC2 terminal. I have used a MAXON DC motor with encoder and a MAXON servo amplifier with it. Motor is running in close loop.The serial communication between ADVANTAGE 400 and pewin32 is established successfully. My question is how can I control the speed of the motor from pewin32. Please help!

I have configured axis2 for Stepper from ADV400. Still its not giving any output. Is it any hardware problem? I have also tried with analog output. I have used a MAXON DC motor with encoder and a MAXON servo amplifier with it. Motor was running in close loop. My question is how can I control the speed of the motor from pewin32. Please help!

Thanks a lot steve , Finally serial communication is working properly. But the pulse output issue is still there at STP1 terminal. What should I do?

Sorry for the late reply. I have tried with lower baudrates 19200 and 9600, but Pewin can not detect PMAC with these baudrates. Is it necessary to keep open ADV400 program in advantage 400 to work with pewin32 ? What should I do on ADVANTAGE 400 side to establish a communication with a lower baud rate? Another problem is when i am entering 'typ' command on pewin32 terminal ADV400 on PMAC side is getting closed. What is the problem? Please help !

Hi steve Thank you for your reply. My question is , if serial cable is not properly connected then how does Pewin's terminal know PMAC's type , version and date(Terminal Device #0[PMAC2]V1.17T 12/05/2002 SERIAL Port). See attachment. Previously when communication was not built properly it was showing [Terminal Device #0[PMAC1]N/A N/A SERIAL Port] Thanks & regards Sarbani

Hello all, I am using an ADVANTAGE 400 ([PMAC2]v1.17T) m/c for my project with a Maxon DC motor. I want to control the motor through Pewin32 pro. I have 2 issues : 1. While communicating with the Advantage 400 via rs232 cable, the terminal program of pewin is not returning typ, ver and date(showing error) screenshot is attached below. Is it really communicating with PMAC ? 2. Stepper motor connector(STP1) is not generating pwm signal. Can anyone suggest anything on this issue and help to sort it out. Any input to solve this is appreciated.
