I used pncconf to set up the spindle. Encoder counts correctly when I turn the spindle by hand.
I have a 7i76, 7i77 and 7i73. I'm using the 7i76 for spindle control. The motor is a 3000 rpm DC
motor with 2 pulley arrangements for 0-1800 rpm and 0-4800 rpm. The spindle amplifier takes
a +/-10 volt signal which is from the 7i76. When I attempt to jog the spindle it runs the motor up
to about 2000+ rpms and hunts up and down in rpms. I attached my ini file and hal file. I tried to
adjust many things but to no avail.I tried the pncconf tuner for the spindle but it ran it at high rpm
as soon as I clicked "Amp Enable". It did work in open loop mode before I installed the encoder.
The spindle drive has both a torque and rpm mode. I tried both.
Thanks,
Mike
