Power PMAC, ENDAT and Endat Additional Information

[piefum]

Hi all

I'd like to use, for a new application, a Power Brick LV to control a 6-axis machine that embeds stepper motors and Endat 2.2 encoders.

 

I already used turbo pmac to control this kind of machine; to gather the Endat 2.2 encoders I used the Acc-84. I know that the Acc84 is NOT able to read the Endat 2.2 additional information that can give the encoder (I am interested in the temperature reading).

 

Is the powerBrick able to read these additional information via the endat 2.2 protocol?

 

thanks

gigi

There is an updated firmware for the ACC84E that allows access to extended registers. At the moment the user is responsible for the Pmac code that would request, read, and parse this data.

thanks for the infos. I will defenitely write our own routines to communicate with the heidenhain encoder.

 

ciao!
