Greetings,

Can any of you guys direct me to a diagram for wiring up this drive to a acorn board or give me instruction on how to do so. I've attached pictures of the drive.

Best regards,

Walter Hall

Hi Walter, it appears that you would wire that 3 phase drive just like the Leadshine series to the 25 pin connector. You'll need a breakout board that can be bought on Amazon for under $10. Have a look at schematic S14976 rev 4 drawing. Wire just the PUL and DIR terminals first. Do not wire up the ENA or ALM terminal until you have motion. Look in your drive manual and see if the drive is enabled by default, this is common and why you may not need to wire up the ENA terminals. You can wire up the ALM feature later.

Here's the diagram link: https://www.centroidcncforum.com/downlo ... p?id=14087

DB25 male breakout board is the FIRST Choice:

IF you want to try and get motors to turn you can try
(Do not connect the ENA circuit at this time)

From Acorn power supply +5VDC run a wire to your drive's
Pul+
Dir+

From your drive's
Pul- run a wire to Acorn header ST1
Dir- run a wire to Acorn header DR1

In the Wizard, Load Drive type to Header Bench Test Screw Terminal
When you power up your drive, your motor rotor should be locked (enabled)
Try and jog the motor using the X axis keys on VCP (assuming you are on MILL)

Let us know how you make out.
