cmcdonald Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I have an application that controls the position of a sheet of glass with 2 conveyors. Motor 2 and Motor 3 and their encoders are hooked up as normal. I have the motors in the same coordinate system (Y) . No I want a master encoder (wired to the HandWheel A+/A- B+/B-) that will roll on top of the glass to have final control over the position of the glass in case of slippage on the conveyor. How do I set up my 2 motors to use this master encoder? I'm rather new to the Turbo Pmac (using a clipper). Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 This will probably best be implemented with a phantom motor around the master encoder and then slave the two Y motors to the output of this phantom motor. Your programs for motion will be directed to the phantom motor. I will work out the specifics in a post later today or first thing tomorrow.
