Leadshine L7 / L6 servos

So I have some L6 and L7 servos coming to evaluate for including with my machines. My understanding these are *mostly* the same as the EL6/EL7 models on their website, just OEM and 1/3 the price.
One notable difference is the 24 bit encoder on the L7.

Anyone set these up in linuxcnc? Issues? Success?



 

it's my config here:
no_7/ethercat-conf.xml · Reeye/linuxcnc - 码云 - 开源中国

the servo is L7-EC.

thanks, the EC is a much older version of the drive. these are L7N
So i'm not sure if the settings translate, but its a start.

Leadshine has two product lines. One is for the international and one is for the domestic market. EL = international, L = chinese market.

You can find the L7 on www.leisai.com . This is the chinese site.

Check the encoder resolution in the software. Mine were advertised as 24-bit and there are 23-bit. I have the L8EC drive and ACM2 motors.

Thanks, this is indeed true, they are 23 bit optical.
