Re: Slo-Syn 2000I manual ??

The 2000D6 manual is this file:
http://www.electrosales.com/warner/pdf/motion/Manual_D3-D6.pdf

It explains the control inputs and motor connections. It appears to be
a constant-current power source, and although its max voltage output
isn't mentioned in the manual, it does give max 2ohm at 6 amps,
implying a 12V max output voltage to maintain the current.

I'd keep it if I were you. It can drive a six amp stepper and has a
self-contained power supply.

Here's the 2000I catalog entry. As you say it's pretty worthless as a
CNC controller, but it'll work just fine driving feedstock into a
progressive die.

SS2000I Packaged Programmable Motion Control
SS2000I-V Closed-Loop Programmable Motion Control

The SS2000I and SS2000I-V are high performance, programmable motion
controls specifically designed for use with SS2000D6 and SS2000D12
drives. They can also be used with any other SLO-SYN step motor drives
as well as with most standard pulse and direction drives, including
digital servo drives. The controls can be used to operate one drive,
or they can operate two drives, one-at-a- time, in applications where
simultaneous motion is not needed.

The SS2000I is an open-loop control, which can be easily converted to
closed-loop operation in the field by replacing the memory module with
an optional closed-loop module.

The SS2000I-V is shipped from the factory with the closed-loop module in place.
