Hi everyone--
I am in the process of wiring all of my electronics. I am about to the point where I need some major help. I probably should have purchased all my parts from one vendor, but I did not. Instead, I read posts about who made good products, and who I should stay away from. Then there were items that I just flipped a coin and bought something.
I have my power supplies mounted in a seperate enclosure. I am hoping that this will reduce the amount of heat on the electronics. The power supplies are 80 VDC with a regulated 5,12, and 24 volts DC.
I am needing help right now with 2 questions for now ( plenty more questions to come)
Where should I connect the Granite Devices VSD-E's to the CNC4PC c23 BOB? The VSD-E has connections labled
3 HSIN1- High Speed optoisolated input -
4 HSIN1+ High Speed optoisolated input +
5 HSIN2- High Speed optoisolated input -
6 HSIN2+ High Speed optoisolated input +
Are these the Step and direction inputs?
My next question is about the power supplies. I am using 3 seperate power supplies, 1 for the x axis, 1 for the y axis, and 1 for the z axis. The eaxh power supply has either a regulated 5, 12, or 24 power supply on it.
Should all the NEG. of the power supplies be connected to COMMON? I read in the VSD-E manual that they should, but their diagram only showed 1 power supply. It did not suggest what to do for multiple power supplies.
I have attached 3 pictures of what I have already started.
If anyone sees anything that I have done or about to do that is wrong PLEASE SPEAK UP, I have too much time and money invested to watch it go up in smoke.
Thanks for the help
Steve
