I checked the serial number in my configuration and on the machine and they matched! The PID numbers are in fact meant for this specific machine. If yours is working (dynamyte24) and those are valid numbers then that is very positive news. As PCW pointed out, the units may be different but I suspect they are similar enough that if one of us manages to get this, then we will all have a valid starting spot.
I'm back to using the Mesa cards. I am contemplating gutting the machine and spent time today looking at the toroids. I was reading the labels and trying to determine what voltages they supply. In the end, I think I might get raw voltages and need to provide regulators. There is a lot of interconnection with the power and the encoder breakout and the larger controller the encoder PCA attaches to. I also noticed that the 24V PS does not provide 24V unless there is sufficient air pressure. This is probably a safety feature to prevent the tool changer from moving if there is not sufficient air pressure. I am sorely tempted to trash all the power supplies and start over with the encoders, servo motors, DDN-019 and servo controllers. I want to look closer but there seems to be a large amount of control exerted by the two PCA that I most want to trash. If I can work around the Power supply interlocks and allow the new controller to take over, I won't have to do that but I'm not sure it is worth the time to figure out what the cards are doing. Unless I can get hold of a schematic , which is very unlikely, I don't want to waste too much time looking at that. I wrote down some wiring information and need to look that over for a bit and decide what to do next. I WOULD like to get some movement but without the motion controller card, that seems like it would be impossible.
