No !!!!

Pin 18 is 12 to 24V positive feed. Without sounding rude, I think you should pay someone local to you that can help with this. The rest might be OK however I am concerned that the basics are not being understood, so concerned that you might have more damage from incorrect wiring.

The image and detail I posted was pretty clear, 18 is oddly called Com but its not 'Common'.

Okey, I thank you for the detail of answering and for making the recommendation, the same without sounding rude I thought that the forum was to support and to have the freedom to have any questions and clarify it, it is the first time I make connections to a driver of the Maxsine brand, I have the basic concepts since I am an engineer,
As it is something new that I am seeing I do not see the ask for advice, the one who takes it on that side is interesting since you also commented that you had already worked with many drivers and you did not see how to make the connection in GND, and yes, I will look for local help, thanks thanks

Many of us are here both to receive help and give back as we can. I'm more worried that you overlooked the very clear 12-24V Positive feed to pin 18, even after I created an image showing it clearly too. I dont mind what you do to get it working but if you arent careful, you are going to damage more hardware and as someone who recently damaged an Acorn board beyond repair, my advice was to get someone to physically help you.

Yes, no GND is strange but that doesnt stop the concern about the wanting to connect 0V to pin 18 when its clearly marked.

Well, I appreciate your advice. I only have the forum to rely on, and the people I know whom I've asked for help have told me they've never used this type of PLC, so I don't have any references. And yes, I did burn it out due to carelessness. That's why I'm trying not to make the same mistake again, no matter how obvious the image may be, my friend. I'll take the advice you gave me about the connections and will try to make it work.

For that reason and if it's not too much trouble, can you tell me if it's correct?
• Pin 18 (COM+) → connects to the +24V terminal of your DC power supply.
• Pin 10 (SON) → connects to the NO (Normally Open) terminal of an Acorn relay output.
• COM (common/center) of the relay → connects to the 0V (negative) terminal of the same 24V DC power supply.

The attached image should validate the wiring.

So yes, that looks correct.

SON should be connected to the ENA for each axis...

Correctly use for No Fault Out :

Thanks. Does that also pull down to GND? I've never used that method personally.

Hello, thank you very much for the support, just before recording anything I try before, the errors are learned and I thank you for the time they are taken to help
