Thanks for the responses so far, everyone! I'll move the post over
there (had never heard of that group, so thanks).
Quick responses to the questions asked so far:
- Yes, this is the Geckodrive G320 servomotor drive. I'll be using
72VDC motors with 8.3A continuous draw. My power supply is indeed
capable of producing 20A, so it's possible under heavy strain of a
single axis that a single drive could see 20A peaks.
- For the 12V & 5V lines, I'd be looking at being able to supply at
least 1.5A, although the reality in use will probably be fractions of
an amp (logic circuitry, Gecko G100 pulse generator, limit switches
and encoders will be feed off of these supplies).
