The way I understand it, and I've only worked with steppers, servos have positional encoders far more granular than what we have in EV motors. So to use an EV motor in a servo capacity one would either need to add an additional positional encoder to provide feedback, or to use a machine-specific positional feedback such as DRO-like scales.
Yes I agree. I have an AC motor with an ecoder and the Curtis software / PC computer enables positional control AND closed loop software. To get accurate control though one needs to add an additional encoder 'wheel' that can correct for motor movement. I can't disclose what we are using this for but any help finding a programmer would be amazing.
Well, I do that kind of stuff, but it's way beyond a "programmer." So either you provide more details, or you can try some companies that do custom industrial automation. It's unlikely you will find help with such stuff at EV places.
If you look up that model number you'll see they use a proprietary control language.
This is who you should talk to, this is the guy that writes the software for Curtis, Ben... I have not talked with him in years
I am freelancer vcl programmer . I can write your application and provide custom application .exe file which you can directly download into the controller.
Curios, and how do you optimize a new motor... what settings do you put in the software...
Much appreciation for this golden nugget u have posted.
