Gildemeister NEF 480 Retrofit

So did the first board test yesterday:

[/url]

Ok the first after playing pin pong. Let’s call it first contact from LinuxCNC to the mesa card.
And tested my hand wheels. And it works... Next step is to see if I get the spindle encoder running but I have no Pinout is there a kind of standard with color coding in the cable or the plugs? Otherwise I screwed and need to find a new encoder that fits.

is there a kind of standard with color coding in the cable or the plugs?

Do you have any information about the encoder at all?

Even with no information on an encoder, you can possibly
determine the power supply connections by continuity
testing from known IC ground and power pins to cable
connections. Once you have figured out the power
connections, you can power the encoder and then
determine the other signals with a voltmeter

this is more ore less the way I want to try it


Type TSI508 then its not readable.
Power supply 5v cd number of increments is all not readable, but easy for figure out
A86L-0024-0001
There is also an engraving C4063 but I think this is for the interface

maybe the color code for my Siemens encoders will work.. otherwise it a session with the multimeter.

I figured out the outputs. But it looks like it has some problem.



I opend it and found some of the degreaser in it not much but maybe it did some harm. I wonder if I can do something.

It could be also have issues before. I don’t know

Why do you think it has issues? The watch screen in Halshow is not a reliable way to watch for quadrature error. The update frequency is much much too slow and in user-space. Infact watching the A and B signal pins in Halscope probably isn't even good enough since that is only sampled in the servo thread. I'd say as long as the count seems reasonable and it isn't setting quadrature error alarms, it's probably ok.
