OK
I gave up on the 5V Dir and Step connections and changed to 24V. I found that the motor would buzz when I clicked + or - and the motor was not locked up after.
So the tip that we don't need Enable if the motor locks up was helpful. I disconnected En+ and En-, powered everything up, loaded CNC12 ...

I'm sorry guys, I haven't checked on this thread for a few days. Been trying different options. I will go down and follow these suggestions to see if it makes a difference.
I'll be back

I went into the Wizard and reversed the Enable on Drive 2 just to check, but no go.
At this point, I'm going to go back to basics and pull a CL57T out onto the bench and wire up a single motor (ala Marty)
I also would like to get MotionStudio working. I connected the cable to my CL57T and found ...

I reconnected the Enable and Enable Power but that didn't help.
Dang it!

Mike, I disconnected the Enable and ...

Ken,
No I don't have it connected to anything

Ken,
Once again thanks for your help.
I removed power from all the enable+ inputs as you suggested. But I'm sorry to say I see no change in behavior. No movement of the axes.
i only show two in the attached pictures, but they're all disconnected
What next sir?
