s4c+ adding 8th axis project

    view?usp=drivesdkview?usp=drivesdkview?usp=drivesdkview?usp=drivesdk

    I have an s4c+ controller with an external axis and I want to add a second one (maybe third) but to get started I think i need a parts list to hook in the motor to the controller.

    I've added pictures of some of the things i have.

    So far I think I need a motor power cable and serial cable.

    I have the serial measurement board (which if i remember right will run three axis?)

    what other components do I need to gather to add in preferably a

    ABB 3HAB4040-1/5, PS 130/6-90-P-PMB-3737

    or similar motor (but yeah that one matches the one in there already)

    Cheers

    Approved the thread.

    I have a 7th axis on the controller already, the motor linked is the same as the one on the 7th axis. I think the SMB will run 2 axis but not quite sure. I want to use axis 7 and 8 for coordinated motion.

    If getting a DSQC346G servo driver and swapping out the DSQC345C is the way to go ill bring one in. they are plentiful at least. the wiring from the servo board to the motor is going to be the tricky bit in my mind

    The external SMB can read resolvers on 6 motors

    The current DSQC346G can run 2 motors.

    If needing a 3rd motor, replacing the DC2 DC-Link (DSQC345C) with a combo amp/dc-link is an option. First you need to determine the size of the 3rd motor and then select the appropriate unit.
