Kevin L Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 I'm using a USP 10.4, and i'd like to add a module to control the position of linear actuators The Hall sensors in the actuators are 0-5V, and the count frequency will be high, as there are dozens of pulses per millimetre of travel Any thoughts on which module to use?

MVP 2023 Joe Tauser Posted June 19, 2020 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 We need a little more information on the actuators, but I'm guessing they have quadrature feedback. I'd go with UID-0808THS modules which will handle two actuators each. You'll need to convert the 5V to 24V - Google up "5v to 24v opto isolator". Let us know what you find. Joe T.

Kevin L Posted June 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 The actuators are indeed quadrature feedback You've reinforced my thinking the UID-0808THS module is the one I purchased a few of the opto isolator converters from the link below, initial bench testing is promising Just need to work out how to write the subroutine now - every day's a school day! https://www.amazon.com/Converter-Optocoupler-Isolator-Maluokasa-DST-1R4P-N/dp/B07NNLYWCB Thanks for your help again Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
