[BrickAC Gantry mode]

I have a Power Brick AC controlling a gantry system. I am new to PPMAC and have some questions regarding the gantry mode:

1. Do the two axis have to have the same position before enabling gantry mode?

2. Is gantry mode disabled if a drive faults? If yes, how is this done and can it be disabled?

3. Do the drives have to be disabled to enable gantry mode?

4. Is there a proper method to enable gantry mode or preparation before enabling gantry mode?

 

Thanks,

Does anybody have experience with controlling Beckhoff AX5000 series drive using a CK3E controller? Please share any information

Thank you for your reply, Chris.

 

How do I connect the virtual motor position to the synthesized incremental encoder output signal?

And how fast will the output signals update?

[POWER BRICK AC Quadrature Encoder output]

I like to do the following with a Power Brick AC unit:

Take the signal from a sinusoidal encoder, modify it a little using a compensation table and then generate a quadrature encoder output.

This quadrature encoder signal will then be send to another motion controller.

 

How can this be done with the Power Brick AC unit?
