Drive Manager (1 or 2) Encoder Device Description Install?
Hey all,
Another dumb question. I am using the latest Drive Manager 2 (1.1.42).A Biss-C linear encoder that I need for a feedback device is not in the available "Feedback" device list.
The encoder is a Renishaw LA11-DC-A-07B-K-A-02M-A-00; most of the other encoder part numbers in this Renishaw encoder family are in Drive Manager 2, except this one.
I have downloaded and installed ESI files for other devices (like Keyence Cameras, SMC Valve Couplers), but I have never had to install anything that is accessible by Drive Manager. Also, I can't seem to find any device description file downloads on Renishaw's website.
Anyone have any experience with this?
Thank you.
I think I would just add one which is similar and change the parameters which are different in the drive manager.
