Hi
Has anyone had experience with this controller? I plan to do a retrofit, but these drivers are not very clear to me, i.e. I'm not sure if they have an analog input somewhere? Thanks

Pictures of complete boards, and do motors have any labels?
If not, open one of the connectors and take pictures of the wires inside.

yes, the machine is from Switzerland, the controller is from the USA, there are no markings on the motors, but they are servo type from some information, it has the possibility of jog only because the controller is from somewhere in the 70s, it also has some mdi options, but I did not manage to start any command except jog.

want to take a picture tomorrow of the entire controller and driver details, there are a total of 6 wires going to the motor, I have never seen such a motor before, it seems to me that there are no brushes, that it is some type of servo, the idea is to do a retrofit in case the drivers have an analog input via 7i77 or to insert new servo motors and 7i96s.

I can only do ``Jog``, nothing happens in MDI select, there are letter markings but I don't have instructions for programming certain steps, the machine has no home, only limit switches and measuring scales ttl, that's why I was interested if anyone knew what type of driver it is due to the possible retention of the existing motors if I do a retrofit.

Yes that's really confusing, the cable from the motor has 8 wires, I suspected that it might be a stepper,but isn't it. Yes, that's the only way I can move the axes, in ``jog'' mode.
