Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] encoder wiring

Nathan,

If Centroid/Ajax is unwilling to help, you'll need to find this out on your own. Unless somone on the lists is familiar with it and it's not looking like it. If I'm not mistaken those are CEM servos they sell out of the UK and used by Ajax. You might try to locate the servo manufacturer online and get a PDF from them. The next option would be pull the endcap and determine what type of encoder it is and go to their website and look for info on wirecolor etc.

It being a 9-pin connector is actually irrelevant. Alot of motor builders use one plug for all options. Like, Index and Tach etc. That way they only have to stock one plug and port. If you ordered a single ended encoder, they probably only used 4 pins of the 9.

The last option would be, with a 5 volt supply try to determine which wire is which. Checking for an output on a third when the motor is rotated. There is a possibilty something could be damaged like that though. It would be best to get a diagram.

I can't seem to get any response from centroid. Is there any kind of
tests I can do to figure out the wiring of this motor/encoder? All I
can see is 3 heavy wires (such as for power) on one plug, and nine
light ones on the other. They had a prewire kit that seems to have a
9 pin d-connector on the end. Is this a universal wiring scheme for
quarature encoders? would that be wired for my rutex driver or only
centroids drivers?

Thanks
