piefum Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradp Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will defenitely write our own routines to communicate with the heidenhain encoder. ciao! gigi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
