Thanks for the help. Got the steppers running smoothly! Acorn ran on the bench for several hours of diagnostics, no problem at all.

To reiterate what others have said:

Yes your drive can use 48vdc as stepper power supply.
Use the power supply that came with Acorn to power it!
Use the DB25 to connect your stepper drivers
Download the schematics for Leadshine drives
Take the time to go watch some videos

Try again and report back. Take pictures or video of your setup to explain any problems
Always post a fresh report (the last thing you do before reporting a problem)

Let us know your issue is resolved
