I have an argon unit sitting here collecting dust since 2015, it’s a Dennis Reimer kit. I had a thought about running it on one of my demonstration cockpits. So I contacted Liza from Mige and ordered a Mige 130ST-AM10010 with Bis-c encoder (YD28J7Za-E 32-11).
Now instead of the regular 12 pins, this encoder has only 7 pins. All I know and remember is that this unit was used previously with a Mige Motor. This Reimer kit is composed of Argon Drive a 24V PSU a large breaking resistor, and a discovery board coupled with a subboard created by Dennis Reimer. Connections are an NLT4M for power, a 15-pin encoder terminal, a 9-pin E stop terminal, and a USB-B connector.
My question is the following:
Do I need to rewire anything to run this Motor on my Argon?
Would the unit do the starting phase without an Estop connected? The Estop was somehow damaged and I hardwired it using 2 jump wires to the 2 and 6 ports respectively.
When connected to the PC the Blue LED on the sub-board is solid while the red one is flashing and the MMO’s software recognizes the kit and I do have a small jerk left and right on the shaft. Trying to center the wheel and rotate the shaft manually would not end in a soft lock despite loading a profile of 900 DOR.
The MMO’s version is 0.0.9.1 firmware model around January 2015, PWM Mode to PWM and Dir, 16.8Khz, Encoder CPR 60000.
I did hook the controller up to a brand new Mige 130ST-AM10010 DFP model that comes with the VRS DFP for testing (YD28J15Z-E 22-11) 15 Pins, Yeilding the same result, a jerk left and right and nothing.
Am I missing something? isn’t this supposed to be plug-and-play?
Thank you for your help in advance.
