winches can be 20-30mt from the pc,


I think 20m is too far to transfer an analogue velocity signal. I think closing the loop at the drive and sending absolute position on RS485 or similar is the best plan.

My ideas was closing loop in drive, using Lcnc as 2th loop and use 20mt of power and encoder cable .... in these case pc and electrical box in the same box.
Obviusly 20mt of analogue signal cable is too much...

Giorgio

Andy, i like your suggesting.
Is there already something to send positions remotely by rs485, or is it to be implemented?

There are UART options for Mesa cards, and daughter-boards that have RS485 / 422 drivers: store.mesanet.com/index.php?route=produc...id=117&search=RS-422

I think you would need a (fairly simple) HAL component to connect HAL position commands to the UART channels.

There is a drive that currently exists that would just plug straight in and work (STMBL) but it isn't commercially available.
