The encoder feedback 2500p/r,15 line increment model, differential output
I have it running step/dir through the csmio ip/m . The servo model 90ST-M02430.
Well yes and no really. Yes your 2500ppr becomes 10,000ppr because it's quadrature encoder so 2500 x 4. But in motor tuning you need to divide 10,000 by the pitch of your ballscrew because your entering steps per MM or Inch into tuning.
So 10'000 pulses per rev which becomes your steps per revolution in mach3 is divided by say 5mm pitch becomes 2000 pulses per MM.
