bprall Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I have a powerbrick system with several unused outputs. I was wondering if any of those outputs could be configured to act as a feedback free coordinate linked to the voltage output. Essentially it would be an Analog Out type channel that can be linked to a coordinate for the motion control. It was not clear to me if this would be possible as this is a PWM type controller/amplifier combination. I also have an AX1515N which I am interested in doing a similar thing. It seemed somewhat more likely to be possible with this device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omron Forums Support Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 This will work. There is a low pass filter internal to PMAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bprall Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 Is there somewhere in the documentation which can tell me how to set up a True DAC output on a PowerBrick or AX1515N as a Motor channel. It is only referenced 3 times in the PowerBrick manual and not at all in the IDE manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 For “True DAC” in the Power Brick you will need manual setup either in the IDE as a custom configuration file or as Global Includes. For setup of the AX1515N on a CK3M, use the IDE’s automatic setup. This is described in the motor setup section of the IDE manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve.milici Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Make sure to use the latest IDE version: https://assets.omron.com/m/44d71092a258bcde/original/PMAC-IDE-4-5-2-9-Nov-2021.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
