Cables, connectors, switches, contactors, sensors and other items / 4-Wire Proximity Sensors

« on: July 21, 2018, 09:08:08 PM »

I have a 3 Axis router with 2 motors on X, 1 on Y, 1 on Z. it is a older MultiCam. and has 1 proximity sensor per motor. attached is a picture of where they come together in the router carriage unit. i have mounted a 24v power supply. reading other 4wire diagrams i'm not sure where to start. open to any suggestion.

Also does anyone know approximately how many amps these would draw. my current supply is too large (dimensional)

The idea is a 2006 year MultiCam 1000 4’x8’. Setting up Mach 4 and the ESS all made sense. The leds say they are doing the right thing. Also on the PMDX 126 the leds show according to the quick start guide in the manual. The gecko G214 self test button run the motors as described in the manual. But I can not make the self test button on the 126 run the motors. Or sending a test line from Mach 4. when pressing the self test button all the leds do as the manual says. just no movement from the motors. I have tried multiple ways of wiring. the crude diagram is how i have it currently. I am trying to run it in the basic mode.
I feel it must be a simple problem but i am missing it!
thanks for now!!!!
