Re: Servo hardware

Thank you for the information. I have the second gen version cards so I
can add the reset switch now that I know what needs to be done.

The SYS-3A has all the controls and connections on the aluminum front panel, internally hung fan, rubber feet, single 8 conductor servo power cable, etc. A servo reset switch was added. It kills the 5vdc power to the driver logic and forces a reset without also cycling the controller. This only works with the 2nd generation servo drivers (blue leds). It will let the smoke out of the first gen servos(yellow leds).
