Hello,
I can control FDA7000 servo driver via Siemens PLC.
Is it possible to control servo driver by using Arduino ?
Thanks.

That's good.

Maybe.
If you posted a link to the thing that you want to control, you might get better answers.
Hello PaulS,
Servo driver is http://www.higenmotor.com/info/download_data.asp?no=246 .
AC Servo Motor is FMA-CN04-CB00 Home - ENDA Industrial Control and Automation
This driver controls AC servo motor. I want to control this ac servo by using arduino.
Hi, It looks possible.
The good news is that all of the control inputs and outputs seem to be optically isolated.
The Medium news is that they are 24V DC levels. So you would need some small NPN driver transistors or some chip like the ULN2003 or similar:
http://www.arduino-direct.com/Photos/uln2003.pdf to drive the inputs. The outputs have open-collector outputs on Optoisolatoirs so you'd just need pullup resistors on Arduino.
The connections they show:
THEN "ALL you need to know" is how to sequence all the inputs to do what you want. An exercise left to the guy who has the real hardware
