The last time I had custom motor files made, they were done by Rockwell in the UK. The person that made the files is close to retirement but, as far as I know, he still works for Rockwell.
When I last inquired: if Rockwell produced a suitable motor that you could have used then they would charge to create the custom motor file. I don't know if Rockwell still offer this service but I may be about to find out as we've just received an order for another machine like the one that needed the last custom files.

I would be ever so grateful if you could find out if Rockwell UK still does this. The company I am working for signed all the papers for Rockwell US to be a custom motor manufacturer so they would share their information with us but the only person they have that knows anything about blob file or .cmf files sent me a write up on how to program the Stegmann encoder using Hyperface DSL which I can not use. My Stegmann encoders are Hyperface. Plus I had already figured out how to retrieve the extended data for my custom motor and load it into a new Stegmann encoder.
I just want to know the layout of the blob file. I ran across tech note #731950 that talks about the blob file not having the correct data for a Rockwell motor and it showed where in the file to correct the data, so obviously Rockwell knows the layout but I think getting the nuclear codes would be easier then getting Rockwell to share the data.
I have been trying to work with them since 2016 and still the only knowledge I have is what I have been able to put together myself. I am not a motor person nor am I am electronic engineer so it has been frustrating to say the least. so I appreciate any input I can get!! Terri
