unidrive closed loop vector control

[irondesk40]

Is it possible to operate a unidrive sp in closed loop vector contol to drive a roller that is turning in a cradle type configuration and the encoder be mounted on a seperate roller then fed into the unidrive to maintain the required drive speed for example you set it at 5 ypm and the roller the encoder is mounted on tells the drive it is only actually turning at 4.7 ypm due to slippage. Hope this makes this sense.
Thanks

Hi Irondesk, yes the SP can easily perform this. You will want to get a SM-Unversal Encoder Plus card to bring in the second encoder. In fact, the base drive can handle this without needing a programming module (SM-Application or SM-EZMotion).
