compumotor interface
(OP)
Looking for assistance on a small project. Using a Compumotor GV-3LE for simple motion, need to change only the velocity remotely for fine tuning. The motor turns a product 2 revolutions and stops in the same place every time, working as a pre-register. Any suggestions other than a costly Parker screen to do this? Is there a way to use a matrix on say four inputs and use a thumbwheel to select 16 possible settings? If so , how?
Thanks for any suggestions.

wouldn't a 200-400 step/rev stepper OK?

And double-check me for the number format for the thumbwheel input--and check the formatting on the thumbwheel itself, as there are diferent styles available (Allied Electronics, Digi-Key are possible sources)
I ran part of Disney's Beauty and the Beast on a system like that. Only had to hook the laptop up for the occasional reprogramming & troubleshooting. Oh, and we weren't moving jars. We were moving people.

If I remember the software is not too complicated and runs in Windows or Dos.
...Just an idea
