Rotary P Version Identification

1

The rotary servo motor Is identified by the P version of the rotary, that can be found on the rotary name plate next to the serial number.

 

Compatibility Notes

* Some Sigma 5 rotaries with a pressure switch (P11, P12, P13, P14. P15, P16, and P17) can be modified to run CHC as P3 or P4. HSA - 5/14/2020

** Dual axis rotaries can not run on 18.29A. If a machine is using a dual axis rotary, it should not be upgraded past 18.28A. 

*** 100.21.000.1130 and higher can run all Sigma 7 rotaries, but the ROT.zip file may need to be updated.  The procedure to do this can be found in the Rotary Service manual chapter 2.7 Update Rotary Configuration Files - NGC. Older NGC versions can run Sigma 7 rotaries if the model is present in the control.

Note: NGC mills can always be upgraded to the latest NGC version. Instruction on updating NGC software can be found in the NGC service manual Chapter 4 Software Update. 

Note: CHC mIlls with 17 series and older software can not upgrade to 18 series. 18 series requires door interlocks that are not present on older machines.

Sigma-1 VS Sigma-5, Sigma-7 Identification

1

Sigma-1.

The rotaries with the Sigma-1 motor have tne encoder cable [1] and the motor cable [2].

You can identify the motor type by inspecting the encoder cable connector:

  • The encoder cable connector housing is black.
  • The encoder cable connector has 10 pins.

2

Sigma-5 and 7

The rotaries with the Sigma-5 and 7 motor have the encoder cable [1] and the motor cable [2].

You can identify the motor type by inspecting the encoder cable connector:

  • The encoder cable connector housing is gray.
  • The encoder cable connector has 6 pins.
