It looks like I will be retrofitting my controller on my Gerber Sabre 404, 1998 vintage.
The motors are brushed DC motors - GEC Alsthom Parvex Model Number: RX32ER1026
The motor drives are Elmo Model Number: SSA-8/100. Here is the link for the motor drive documentation:
Here is someone who has done the same project, but also replaced his servo drives. https://www.cnczone.com/forums/comm...re-wiring-gerber-sabre-408-a.html#post2178660
What I am interested in doing is replacing my drive controller, but keeping my existing drives.
I m a bit of a newbie to servos and servo drives, so I m not exactly sure if the Masso controller can control these particular older drives directly. Here is a pic of the relevant pages (pp 16-17) in the Elmo drive documentation.
Is this something that can be done? Any help is appreciated!
