Retrofit options for old point-to-point?

[dustboy]

I've done two Acorn retrofits and now I have an old Morbidelli Author point-to-point. Are there any Centroid products that would work with this machine? It has Yaskawa "Servopack CACR-SR" drives. The old NUM controller has optical connections with the relay boards.

The machine runs okay but the Xilog3 control software is a nightmare. I could give up some of the fancy drilling functions in favor of a better operator interface and available post processors.

If not Centroid, what other options do I have?

The CACR-SR series are all speed control drives. You'd want to use the Oak or OpticDirect to talk to those drives with analog velocity mode. See the appropriate manual for the drives here: https://www.yaskawa.com/downloads/-/doc ... ne=CACR-SR

You'll want the full designation (CACR-SRxxBExxx) to pick the correct manual from that list. Look for BE or something else in that same position and match it to the correct manual.
