Wantai Drives
Anyone have any help with my bench test. My DRO's are working but no luck with turning the motor. I can't seem to find a schematic that covers my drive. It's a Wantai DQ542MA hooked up to an open loop stepper. It ran on just step and direction wired to the previous BOB. Any help would be appreciated. Pretty sure that I have everything in the wizard correct.

Re: Wantai Drives
Got it. litterally as many ways to wire these drives as the are boards to hook them up to. 5v dc to enable+, puls+ and dir+. lots of jumpers.

Re: Wantai Drives
Did you look at wiring it to the DB25? Don't quote me on it but I don't think you need jumpers. I'm pretty sure the DB25 supplies the 5v. I have different drivers so mine are wired different, but those look like leadshines so you should look at the leadshine wiring diagrams. Just try and find out what leadshine drive those are a copy of and use that diagram to wire them.
I'm sure if Gary sees this post he can point you in the right direction since he uses leadshine drivers.

Re: Wantai Drives
I'm really excited to give this new system a rip. I've been struggling with Mach 3 for over 2 years now. It's just not a stable platform at all.

Re: Wantai Drives
report.zip and screen shots of the wizard menus and we can comment. are you using the screw terminals or db25?

Re: Wantai Drives
yep, it hot now. Was just like the leadshine, only I have +5v on enable also. Working on limits now. Should be back up and running soon. Just have to figure out the touch off system and tune and ,and and...LOL

Re: Wantai Drives
So here is one for you guys. Trying to home and Y wants to home to the +. I did have to reverse the direction on that axis. Should I have switched a wire instead, or would that equate to the same thing? Or is there a setting to change what direction it home to?
