Spindle encoder setup
12 Jul 2015 19:22 #60582
by Duc
Spindle encoder setup was created by Duc
Picked up a 1000 P/R encoder from automation direct with a 200 kHz response. The encoder is installed and seems to be working perfect. More curious to see if I modified the .hal file correct and the ini file to take full advantage of the encoder. Lots of google reading and playing with PNCconfig to get a start. The plan is to monitor the RPM and to use the spindle for rigid tapping. I will be adding some displays to axis tomorrow.
Is there anything else I need to add to the files to use the encoder properly? Index, differential settings
.hal file additons
.ini file additons
I do believe my scaling is wrong for my VFD. With a M3 S4200 I get a spindle-vel-fb of 58.1 so the rpm is 5810.

A couple observations:
A 1000 P/R encoder (1000 line) should have the encoder scale set to 4000
When scaled properly you should get a encoder position change of 1.00
for every full turn of the spindle.
Also when scaled properly, the encoder velocity is in units of RPS

After the tips I was able to find my problem. The scale worked perfect at 1000, I forgot the read out was in RPS plus my scaler was off for the vfd. All fixed now and got the RPM bar working for pyvcp.
Finally getting around to tweaking the system.
Thanks
