At about 98% duty cycle, 5 volt pwm, it actually runs at about 5400 revs, or half speed at half voltage=1/4 full speed, which ought to be 6000 revs. But there appears to be a fixed loss at the low end. I haven't measured the timings quite that accurately. This is treating the pwm as an AVI input, there is no response when the input is set for PWM but the waveform is only a rail to rail 5 volts. It might work at 10 volts but I've no quick and dirty way to step it up to 10 volts p-p. So there is a 50% nominal error I can't explain.
So I'll just put in the c41. That will likely require I reeassign the fwd wire to supply the bobs 5 volts to the c41 as input logic supply. Then the question is, has the 12 volts from the vfd got enough currant to run the relays, or do I have to break into my jury rigged 24 volt fan supply for that 200 ma. TBD. Frankly, this is being a big enough problem that I think the first box completed in this 2 box project, will actually go to the 6040 interface. I've ordered another 7i76d from mesa, which has this c41/spinx1 built in, so I will shortly have enough stuff to make both. > Jon > > > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
