Possible retrofit of a Körner Magic550 CNC Machine
The machine in question is a German machine made in 2005 by the Körner company and the model is Magic 550. It’s a 3 axis machine with a fourth servo for the toolchanger. The servo drives are unmarked and so are the motors. There is a windows XP running PC which has a Serial pci board with 8 serial ports. From this board there are 5 RJ11 cables going to the servo drives and to a breaoutboard which is located separate from the drives. We have some schematics in which the XYZ servos are labeled as Haidenhein and the tool changer servo is labeled as Siemens but there is no label for the drives. The software which runs the machine is called CNC900W.
My question is ,can someone help with figuring out what signal type these servo drives accept and recommending the appropriate Mesa card.

On the schematics the servos are listed as QSY96G for Z axis ,QSY116J for X and Y axis which are from Haidenhein and FK7022 for the toolchanger which is from Siemens. I looked online for the recommended drives for these motors but they don’t look like the ones that are in the electrical cabinet .

So for a refit you would need to either find compatible drives for your motors or replace motors and drives. The spindle drive seems to be analog, so that would probably work as is.

On the other hand I searched about the recommended drives from Heidenhain and they are PWM controlled. Can Mesa cards send PWM signals?

PWM is possible, I think, but you would need to link some documentation to the drives in question so the mesa guys can have a proper look at it.

Sound like it uses HSCI bus for communication. Never heard of it but I'm pretty sure that is a nogo with linuxcnc.HEIDENHAIN-Umrichtersysteme
