Bob,

Thanks for the configuration help.  I will keep the speed slow and center the gantry before moving anything the first time to make sure left, forward, and up actually do those things.  Already hoping for the best this weekend!

Steve,
Thanks for the response. I was pretty sure of what I was doing but wanted someone to check my work before I blew it up!  I used the diagram they provided but it was to large of a file.  I had to reload the manual PDF.   Anyway, will be wiring it up tomorrow, so many thanks.

Hi,

Could everyone please look over the below wiring diagram.  I am using a PMDX-424 with Automation Technology KL-6050 Stepper Drivers. 

PMDX.                          KL6050
424

Motor 1.         

Com ---------------|-----Dir+
                           |-----Pul+
Step---------------------Pul-
Dir-----------------------Dir-
                                  Enb+ (Not Connected)
                                  Enb- (Not Connected)

Configure COM for 5+V. (As from the design document from Automation Technology).


Question - I am using Ball Screws for the Y Axis. As someone new to all this, I don't want to mess this all up.  Reading the instructions for the PMDX-424, it says that it is possible to reverse one of the motors by swapping the wires on one phase going from the motor driver to the stepper motor.  Do you mean to swap the A+ and A- wires (or instead the B wires)?
