Fanuc Serial Pulse Coders - Red cap servos, mesa 7i76e, how to?

Category: Driver Boards

You are welcomed, always, and welcome to the "dark side" ! :)
Used them once, worked MUCH better than advertised, got unbelievably good support from PCW, used them ever since, a lot.

Thanks for confirming this, I haven't used multiple Mesa boards at once before. What a great system.

Yes, you can use 7i76E with 7i84 with a cut in half LAN cable (see manual for wiring), and 7i85 with a IDC26 to DB25 cable (available on Mesa stores and even some older PC's have them, look for a parallel port on the back slots). BTW, 2 of 7i85 could be used as 7i76E has two IDC26 headers, or similar boards, and you can add more 7i84 or 7i79 or 7i71 or 7i72 to 7i85.

Is it possible to run all these things together: 

Mesa 7i76 E  ---- 7I84 (Isolated remote field I/O card). Will use it to output quadrature signals to the Ultra3000s, it will generate this quadrature output from the Fanuc encoders [is this possible?], remaining I/O used elsewhere. 
                               
                         ---- 7I85 (4 Channel encoder 5 channel Serial RS-422 interface). Will hook up the 4 Fanuc redcaps to 4 of these RS-422 ports. And the encoder inputs are good to have around incase I want to add linear scales (2 axis) and maybe two MPG wheels. 


Sure would be great if this system worked because it happens to be two fairly inexpensive boards. Canadian dollar isn't so great right now 
I would be pleased to have those encoder inlets, too.
