Servo command polarity

Hi,
I'm using a PXI-7358 to interface a third party drive and servo motor in a bench test proir to installation.
When outputing a positive command signal for clockwise motion the motor ran in reverse i.e. counter clockwise. Can the polarity of the command signal be changed in MAX?
This has been solved by changing the motor setup to have a ccw forward direction but I would prefer to change the polarity in MAX as that way the encoder feedback would agree between MAX and third party motor driver software.
Also when bench testing a motor is it neccesary to provide an appropraite level of resistance?
I have resorted to reducing the max and min torque voltage outputs from -+ 10v to 0.5v.
Wthout this measure when using One-D interactive MAX output the maximum 10v no matter what rpm was requested in velocity opetration mode. When using position mode, output would initailly be maximum in the wrong direction (question 1) or a square wave of +-10V. Auto tune also produced maximum PID values. I'm guessing MAX starts by outputting maximum voltage at the start of a move inorder to delivery maximum torque then adjust according to encoder feedback. The reason I'm bench testing is the device that will be motored is v. expensive so i would like to be confident with the system before i install it.
many thanks
Darren

Hi
scoobydont,
I hope your well.
I was wondering if you could give me an update of your application?
Im more familiar with stepper motors, which you can change the polarity of the direction signal (which inverts both the step and the dir lines). 
Could you also state again what your trying to do, and I will try to answer the points,
Are you trying to tune your servo motor? there are some excellent KBs on this. 
With the benefiting, I would have thought you would need to test it at appropriate level of resistance, otherwise your values maybe erroneous. 
Kind Regards

  • PCI-7344 Servo Command Analog Ouput

    Hi,
    I am currently working on a project controlling several servos with PCI-7344.
    Servo amplifiers are working with +/-10 V. But with the servo's direction command, the polarity of servo command decides the motor's rotation direction.
    For an instance, with CCW direction, -10V means the maximum speed in reverse. and 0 means sero speed.
    So the problem is how to configure DAC outputs to produce -10V and +10V for full speed and 0 for zero speed.

    You have to enable the secondary feedback to the same encoder as the primary feedback. I know it sound crazy but it works. I scared half the maintenance crew to death the first time I tried to run autotune. Then tune manually start with real low values like 1. One of the techs sent the attached file it helped. Oh I found a work around for my stopping problem I break the command line to my drive and have a 100k resistor shorting the command out that takes it to 0 volt and stoppes the motor. Of the hundred plus drive we have in this plant none use torque command. So much for Industry standard :-) Hope this help you.

  • Controlling multiple devices theory

    I have an application theory I would like to get some input on. 
    Take an application like a Servo Engine.vi, it controls communication with the servo and dequeues any servo commands from the main.vi to control the servo. 
    Now my question is if you have multiple servos:
    -  Is it best to only have 1 engine running and pass the Axis number through the queue?
    -  Is it best to run the engines reentrant, so each one handles each servo?
    I have done this both ways in the past I really don’t know which way is better. 
    Thanks, Doug

    Having 1 engine for controlling multiple servo, it sounds simple
    -> probably array of custom data-type can be used
    -> Servo engine could be an action engine.
    Now the only issue I see here, slight latency is expected while controlling multiple servo drives.
    Now moving to, have reentrant engine (multiple clones running, dedicated to each servo), it requires somewhat more coding and is slightly complex
    -> mechanism to address & communicate with the right clone (corresponding to a particular servo drive) needs to be implemented and that is an overhead
    but on the other hand independent engine clones will have negligible latency.
    Lets wait and listen from some of the experts available on board...

  • I want to use the Function Generator VI to send command signals through the NI 7344 motion controller. This will be a closed loop servo valve system. I want to be able to change from say a square wave to a sine wave on the fly. Idea's?

    I am going to run tests that require an actuator to move using various types of arbitrary waveforms such as sine or square. The NI 7344 is hooked to the UMI that is going through a driver for a servo valve. The loop is analog and it is closed. I have played with some of the examples but can't get it to work. I have used the function generator VI to generate a signal but I think I am using the wrong input VI to the motion control board. When I use what I have it moves the servo and then stops. It doesn't continually generate the signal.
    I would love to use the controls on the function generator vi to control frequency and amplitude ect. Any help or pointer would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

    Hello,
    I'm not clear on exactly how you want to use the generated data but I'm assuming they will be used as your target points.
    There's a built-in example for motion called 'One-Axis Contour Move.vi'. This example demonstrates how to provide your target points as 1-D array. All you need to do is to replace the input array with the output of the function generator. In order to have it run continuously, use a while loop. You can further program your application so that it'll change the waveform on the fly by monitoring the user interface but this might be little little tricky as you will need to reset the move and load the new generated points while keeping track of your current position.
    I hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions regarding this
    application.

  • I want to control servo value from PCI-7344+Flexmotion with 20 Hz Sine/Triangle wave as command and anlog feedback Help me in doing so

    Under Trajectory generation and Buffered programming section of Flexmotion i found that interval between 2 points is limited to minimum of 10 msec.To generate & control 20 Hz waveform any other alternative approach is available ?

    i have a problem:
    i have configured an axis for gearing and have its master be an ADC, when the analog input is more than 30Hz,the slave axis can't follow up the master,is there a method to solve the problem?

  • 7344 servo motion switching between open and closed loop operation

    I have a custom end-of-line test system presently using a 4-axis 7344 servo controller to perform various functional tests on small, brushed DC motors. The system is programmed in C/C++ and uses flex motion functions to control the motor during testing. Motors are coupled to external encoder feedback and third party PWM drives running in closed-loop torque mode from an analog command signal. The system uses all four motion axis channels on the 7344 board to independently and asynchronously test up to four production motors at a time.
    In closed-loop mode, the system runs without issue, satisfying the battery of testing protocols executed by this system. I now have a request to add additional test functionality to the system. This testing must be run in open loop mode. Specifically, I need to use my +/- 10v analog output command to my torque drive to send different DAC output levels to the connected motor.drive while monitoring response.
    I do not believe the flex motion library or 7344 controller includes functions to easily switch between open and closed loop mode without sending a new drive configuration. I am also under the impression that I cannot reconfigure one (or more) servo controller axis channels without disabling the entire drive. As my system runs each axis channel in an asynchronous manner, any requirement to shutdown all drives each time I change modes is an unworkable solution.
    I am open to all ideas that will allow asynchronous operation of my 4 motor testing stations. If the only solution is to add a second 7344 controller and mechanical relays to switch the drive and motor wiring between two separately configured servo channels, so be it. I just want to explore any available avenue before I place a price tag on this new system requirement.
    Bob

    Jochen,
    Thank you for the quick response. The 7344 board does an excellent job running my manufacturing motor assemblies through a custom end-of-line tester in closed loop mode. A portion of the performance history and test result couples the motor through a mechanical load and external shaft. The shaft is in contact with a linear encoder that closes my servo loop.
    My new manufacturing requirement is to also sample/document how the small DC motor behaves in open loop operation. Your solution is exactly what I need to perform the additional functional tests on the product I am manufacturing. I see no reason why this cannot work. I was originally concerned that I would need to reinitialize the 7344 board after changing axis configuration. Initialization is a global event and impacts all four channels on the 7344 board.
    Using flex_config_axis() to change axis configuration on a single channel without disturbing other potentially running axis channels will solve my concern. It will be several weeks before I can return to the manufacturing facility where the 7344-based testing machine is located. I will update this thread once I verify a successful result.

  • I can no longer use 3D commands in Photoshop CS6 Extended

    I have Photoshop CS6 Extended (Ver 13.0.1x64). My desktop is Windows 7 64 Home premium; and Video card is: AMD Radeon HD 5570. The drivers and operating system is updated.
    I have been using simple 3D functions like "New 3D extrusion from..." from time to time without any problems until recently. For unknown reasons now when I try to invoke any 3D command, I get the following message: " Could not complete the "New 3D extrusion from selected layer command because of a program error." This ,message gets repeated for any 3D command.
    I checked out 3D functionality in Photoshop CS6 32 bit; and Photoshop CS5.5 Extended. Same problem. However, I can access and use all 3D functions in Illustrator CS6. Clearly, therefore, the video card is not the problem. It looks like one of the recent software updates from Adobe must have caused this problem.
    Reproduced below  are details of my system:

  • Photoshop cs6 error "Could not complete command because there is not enough memory (RAM)"

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro and the Adobe Creative Suite 6, and all of my other adobe programs run smoothy with the exception of photoshop. For about the past year and a half now, I will very inconsistency receive the error message, "Could not complete ___ command because there is not enough memory (RAM)."  Sometimes this problem gets so bad that I am not even able to open my preferences.
    My computer seems as though it should have plenty of space to run photoshop, and I have taken my computer to a number of differed tech supports, but they have only been able to temporarily make the problem less severe for short periods until it acts up again and completely prevents me from using Photoshop. I recently updated to Yosemite and deinstalled/reinstalled photoshop, hoping that would fix things, but I still get the message almost any time I try to complete a command.
    Your help would be very much appreciated, thank you!

    Hey! Don't knock my system, Trevor.Dennis: Processor speed: 3492 MHz,

    3.5Mhz?  Do they even make processors that slow?
    I'm trying to think back through Photoshop versions, but IIRC it became hungry for RAM with CS5, but it might even have been CS4.  But certainly from CS5 onwards a 32 bit system was going to be severely compromised with its 3.5Gb RAM limit, of which Photoshop could access only a bit over 2Gb.  You might remember the 4Gb switch that let you use a bit more of your 4Gb of installed RAM.  That worked OK with XP but was still flakey, and third party plugins used to fall over all the time through lack of RAM — at least Photoshop has a Scratch drive.
    So nowadays you can forget trying to use Photoshop on 32bit hardware.  You need 64 bit and at least 8Gb RAM.  So like I said, the OP needs to look deeper into the 'apparent' over heating issue, and put that other 4Gb back in.  I can't even conceive of why a person would cripple their system by removing RAM. _Especially_ when it leaves just 4Gb

  • Optimum servo pid loop rate

    Hi,
    I want some confirmation on the optimum pid loop rate and the fastest servo motor operation that we can acheive with Pxi-7352 running on Window.
    The manual of 7352 says "62 μs PID loop update rate for up to 2 axes". The requirment is to acheive periodic equi sized straight line and rotary motion ( using yaskawa servo motors in torque mode and 7352 to close position loop ) Both motion are independant and not operating simultaneous i.e rotary completes one full rotation in small steps and then linear moves by one small step then rotary completes next rotation in small steps and again linear motor moves this continues till end of test.
    you can observe here that both rotary and liner motion are periodic and move equi spaced distance for each step with small stoppage/dwell time of 500 u sec , The catch is in addition to positional accuracy in terms of 50 -100 microns the time for complete each step is also very crucial and very small (many peridoc steps together consitute complete linear and rotary motion). Find expected velocity profile attached for more details on desired timing.
    As the motors have simple and periodic straight line and rotary motion i suppose buffered contour moves are not needed which have limitation of 10 msec between two points, then can the time to acheive each step be as low as 2.5 to 5 msec considering best loop rate of 62.5 u sec and highest/worst pid loop rate of 500 usec.
    1. Is the expected timing of 2.5 - 5 m sec feasible assuming that the motor is capable of reaching 5000 rpm which is well above desired speed.
    2. 735x series being high performance motion controller what is the order of closed loop timing that we can expect for simple and periodic moves (say in order of 1000 usec or 10 msec)
    3. Can i interface one stepper motor and another servo motor where both the motors and drives are in position mode on single 7352 and UMI 7772.
    4. Are there any limitation if NI motion is not used for code development and NI motion Assistant along with LabVIEW is used instead.
    This is precision application and the component is very small ,the weight of the component would be less than 400 grams so i hope we do not have to consider inertial affect on motion significantly.
    Appriciate if some one with similar experience can provide more details.

    Hi Bipin,
    thank you for your comprehensive post. I had a close look at your timing specs and I strongly doubt, that these specs can be met with a 7352 board. Even though the PID loop rate of 62.5µs might be enough, both trajectory generator and the supervisory control (host communication, move command sequencing,...) are too slow to meet your requirements. Please note, that the trajectory generator always works with a timing interval of 10 ms, regardless of the operation mode (linear move, contouring, blending,...), so there is no way to reach your timing specs with this product. In general contouring is the fastest way to run a quick succession of moves, as it doesn't require host communication (by the way: onboard programs don't execute much faster, than programs that are running on the host).
    I don't want to make negative mareketing for our 735x boards, but your timing requirements are just way beyond the requirements of typical motion control applications and it's probably quite hard to find any COTS product in the market, that can meet these specs. 
    With this said, I would like to offer you an alternative solution, that is based on NI's FPGA technology. Additionally to a faster trajectory generator a faster control loop is probably also very desireable for your application. Even with the lowest price Virtex-II based R-Series multifunction board (PCI-7830R) you can run PID loops with 5µs cycle time and the trajectory generator at the same rate. You even can use a different type of control algorithm if required. This technology is leveraged very successfull in a lot of applications with very high performance and accuracy requirements (here are some examples).
    So these are the pros, but where are the cons? Well, the R-Series boards are general purpose FPGA boards and not ready to run motion control boards, so you need to develop the low-level control application by yourself. The good news here is, that it can all be done graphically in LabVIEW and that there are many ready to run examples for motion control, that can be used as a base for your development. Additionally you may want to have a look at the NI SoftMotion Development Module for LabVIEW, that simplifies the development of motion control applications, but it is not a mandatory tool and the benefits of this module might not be as high for your application, as ithey are for more standard motion control applications.
    I hope that helps.
    Kind regards,

  • How to safely turn off the computer while the motion servo is still enabled?

    When we use PCI-7344 and set it for serve closed control, I have found a very serious problem
    in using the control card in this mode.
    As the card is able to control motors only with the computer at power on status, but if we are very
    carelessly to shut down the computer and without the notice to turn off motor driver power first
    we would always get serious sudden moves of the motors, and might cause damages to the system. The same situation also applies to when control the motors under open/closed loop stepper mode.
    How should I do to prevent the above situation?
    (note: in my system, we have hook up relays and timers if we could set DIO bits before shut down
    the computer. But
    still, there are a certain occassions that the operator would still forget to set the DIO bits
    and turn off the computer directly)

    The Inhibit output pin of the motion controller (also called drive enable) is the best way to achieve this. It is basically a signal that most power drives take in as an active low input so that when the powergoes out of the computer, the line goes low and immediately kills the axis so that no servo ouptut command affects the motor.
    Best regards,
    Alex Games

  • 7344 Motion board stop command causing system to drop

    I have a hydrolic system(in closed loop mode) controlled by a 7344s analog output.
    a value changes depending on the voltage from the 7344:
    positive voltage lets water into the system
    negative voltage lets water out of the system.
    due to the design of the system, water has to be constintly fed into it to hold position.
    Now if I call a stop command while holding position(encoder counts are not moving) the voltage drops to zero before going back to its previous value(1-1.5v) only issue is that the system drops until the voltage gets back up.
    In contrast, a halt stop is immediate and abrupt. The target position is set to the position of the axis at the moment the VI is executed. On servo axes, full torque is applied to stop the motor(s) as quickly as possible. On stepper axes, the step pulses are immediately ceased.
    I am using a halt stop(1) would a decelerate stop(0) be better for this application?

    The behavior you are describing sounds like the response of a halt stop when a following error exists in a closed loop stepper.  When a halt stop is performed on an axis the following error is cleared and the holding force on the motor is removed.  This is a known issure for NI-Motion drivers prior to 7.2, and is fixed in that release.  You can download the NI-Motion 7.2 driver here:

  • Position Control of compumotor linear servo table and GV-U6E with PCI-7344

    I'm referring PCI-7344 (not 7334).
    I have the GV-U6E which is a drive only and does not possess control functionality. the drive only version does not store or use programs. So, serial commands can not be sent through COM port by LabVIEW even though A few basic commands can be emulated.
    I am trying to do position control as I mentioned. For example, the motor should move A point to B point exactly with a certain speed. The points must be aboulte position.
    I would like you to see the reference comment that I have been contacting with in your website forum.

    Yes, we used an NI PXI-7344 motion control card with an NI UMI-7764 box connected to a Gemini GV-U12E servo drive. (which is a drive only.)
    We did positional control in absolute position mode.
    I can send you an AutoCAD schematic detailing how to connect the UMI-7764 to the Gemini GV servo drive.
    In regard to the Rs232 interface to the GV servo drive,
    the GV drive only model is "configurable" not "programmable". You can create unique GV configuration files with Compumotor's Motion planner then download the configuration via Rs232 using LabVIEW as desired. Or, using LabVIEW via Rs232 you can change individual GV drive parameters on demand,
    or use the GV's two analog outputs back to LabVIEW's analog inputs to measure commanded motor current or torque, etc.etc.etc

  • Photoshop cs6 "could not complete command because there is not enough memory (RAM)"

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro and the Adobe Creative Suite 6, and all of my other adobe programs run smoothy with the exception of photoshop. For about the past year and a half now, I will very inconsistency receive the error message, "Could not complete ___ command because there is not enough memory (RAM)."  Sometimes this problem gets so bad that I am not even able to open my preferences.
    My computer seems as though it should have plenty of space to run photoshop, and I have taken my computer to a number of differed tech supports, but they have only been able to temporarily make the problem less severe for short periods until it acts up again and completely prevents me from using Photoshop. I recently updated to Yosemite and deinstalled/reinstalled photoshop, hoping that would fix things, but I still get the message almost any time I try to complete a command.
    Your help would be very much appreciated, thank you!

    3.5Mhz?  Do they even make processors that slow?
    I'm trying to think back through Photoshop versions, but IIRC it became hungry for RAM with CS5, but it might even have been CS4.  But certainly from CS5 onwards a 32 bit system was going to be severely compromised with its 3.5Gb RAM limit, of which Photoshop could access only a bit over 2Gb.  You might remember the 4Gb switch that let you use a bit more of your 4Gb of installed RAM.  That worked OK with XP but was still flakey, and third party plugins used to fall over all the time through lack of RAM — at least Photoshop has a Scratch drive.
    So nowadays you can forget trying to use Photoshop on 32bit hardware.  You need 64 bit and at least 8Gb RAM.  So like I said, the OP needs to look deeper into the 'apparent' over heating issue, and put that other 4Gb back in.  I can't even conceive of why a person would cripple their system by removing RAM. _Especially_ when it leaves just 4Gb

  • Connecting Yaskawa Sigma II Servo Drive (SGDH) to PCI-7344 and UMI-7774

    Hi,
    I have  NI PCI-7344 and UMI-7774 and i want to
    Connect the UMI-7774 to Yaskawa Sigma II Servo Drive (SGDH) , the servo motor drive is connected to the servo motor with original Yaskawa cables.
    1.  do you know if National instruments provide special cables to connect the UMI-7774 to the Yaskawa Sigma II Servo Drive (SGDH) ?
         i know there is special cable to connect this servo drive to the NI PCI-7390
         http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5908 
        (you can find in this link that this cable exist: 50 Pin cable for connecting MCA-7790Y to Yaskawa Sigma II Servo Amplifier)
         but this is not the case here, i need to connect the Servo Drive to the UMI-7774..
     2. Where can i find a tutorial on how to configure the PCI-7344 in MAX to send simple commands to the Servo Drive
          i.e.  to run the servo motor from position A to position B (10,000 encoder pulses)
    i'll be gratefull for any help
    Regards
    Moti

    Hi MotiM,
    We do not have a cable that will let you directly connect the UMI-7774 to a Yaskawa Drive.  We do sell cables that will have the Dsub connector to match the UMI-7774 with pigtails to wire to the drive.  If you take a look at the product page for the UMI-7774 you can see the different cables listed under the accessories.
    To perform a simple move in Measurement and Automation (MAX) is very simple.  In MAX under NI-Motion select your PCI-7344. Under this section select the settings option (by default it will be called Default 7340 settings).  Select the Servo radio button.  Initialize your controller.  Then you can select Interactive and 1-D Interactive and command your motor from there.  I have attached an image with the important areas highlighted for you.

  • UMI-7774 Axis1 Inhibit input/output (and Fault +/-) to corresponding Servo Drive signals

    Hi,
    I have servo drive (yaskawa sigma fsp) that i configured to work in Position command mode,
    And i want to connect it to UMI-7774 with PCI-7344 also configured in MAX to work in P-Command mode.
    The Servo drive has these signals:
    /S-ON    (Servo ON input)
    ALM+    (Servo alarm output)
    ALM      (Servo alarm output)
    The UMI-7774 on its Control Connector of Axis1 has these signals:
    Enable
    Fault+
    Fault-
    i read the umi7774 manual and also the servo drive manual, and didnt understand all the things because
    the umi7774 manual named the signals Inhibit-input, inhibit-output
    but there is no signals in this name on the UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector.  
    So, i think the wiring i need to make is :
    [Servo Drive] /S-ON   < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Enable 
    [Servo Drive] ALM+   < to >   [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Fault+
    [Servo Drive] ALM      < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Fault- 
    is [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Enable  is same as Inhibit-Output ?
    what about the inhibit-input, is the ALM+ from the drive is acting this role ?
    And, because the servo drive and the pci7344 configured to P-Command (Position command) mode,
    The control signals is connected in this way :
    [Servo Drive] PULS      < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Step (CW) 
    [Servo Drive] /PULS     < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Digital Ground
    [Servo Drive] SIGN       < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Dir (CCW)
    [Servo Drive] /SIGN      < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Digital Ground
    And for the feedback connector :
    [Servo Drive] PAO      < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Encoder Phase A
    [Servo Drive] /PAO      < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Encoder Phase A-
    [Servo Drive] PBO      < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Encoder Phase B
    [Servo Drive] /PBO      < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Encoder Phase B-
    [Servo Drive] PCO      < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Encoder Index
    [Servo Drive] /PCO      < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Encoder Index-
    i read the ni-motion manual,pci-7344 and umi7774 manual and also the articles about configuring the Position Command mode
    including the MAX setting.
    i finally start to understand the setting after i read the PCI7390 which is position-comannd controller.
    i just need to know if what i write here is correct.
    (The servo drive manual is here:
      http://www.yaskawa.com/site/products.nsf/products/Servo%20Amplifiers~fspsigma.html?openDocument&seq=... )
    Last thing,  the  "How to connect the 73xx inhibit and command signal outputs to third party drives"  article
    (http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3442 )
    shows that we need resistors etc.. to connect the signals between the servo drive and umi-7774,
    can i directly connect the signals using Pigtail cables the National instruments provide?
    Thanks
    Moti

    Dear Vince,
    this is the description from the servo drive manual about the following signals:
    [Servo Drive] PULS  (Reference pulse input)
    [Servo Drive] SIGN   (Reference pulse input)
    [Servo Drive] PAO   (PG divided output A-phase)  same for PBO,PCO
    i understand the following connection that i write here (for control and feedback)
    from the PCI 7390 users manual (Table B-7 on Page  B-15 : CN1 cable pin assignments)
    the table shows the signals from the MCA-7790Y which is accessory
    for connecting the pci7390 to Yaskawa Sigma 2 drive (which is the same as Yaskawa Sigma FSP drive).
    So, is that the correct connections for using the umi7774 and this servo drive in position command mode ?  :  
    [Servo Drive] PULS      < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Step (CW) 
    [Servo Drive] /PULS     < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Digital Ground
    [Servo Drive] SIGN       < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Dir (CCW)
    [Servo Drive] /SIGN      < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Digital Ground
    And for the feedback connector :
    [Servo Drive] PAO      < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Encoder Phase A
    [Servo Drive] /PAO      < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Encoder Phase A-
    [Servo Drive] PBO      < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Encoder Phase B
    [Servo Drive] /PBO      < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Encoder Phase B-
    [Servo Drive] PCO      < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Encoder Index
    [Servo Drive] /PCO      < to >  [UMI-7774/Axis1/Control Connector]  Encoder Index-
    thanks for your reply , i appreciate your help
    since i'm alone in this, unfortunately i cant get help on this issue from anyone.
    Please verify that what i write here is correct.
    Regards,
    Moti
