    How to wire up Steppers to Drives ( SX3 project )

    Hi, I have run into a bit of a problem; i ahve no idea how the stepper motors should be wired to by drives.

    I bought a kit from automotion technologies.. Its got 2 x KL23H286-20-8B motors, drives are KL5042, and 1 x LK34H295_43_8A driven by LK-8060.

    The documentation is almost non existent, only a couple of schematics that dont' make too much sense.

    I have some datasheets for the motors, so i can work out the wiring from those..

    whats the normal way of wiring them up, Bipolar(parrallel) / Bipolar(Series) or Unipolar ?

    Kellinginc, The diagram withC10 shows incorrect wiring colours for the motors. The PdF's for the motors, are confusing because there are two different wiring guides. Never the less I managed to figure the motor to drives out, but it needs to be tidied up, becuase its very confusing.

    And it did ask you a question, and your reponse was..


    "Hi Andrew
    we sell this every day
    every one get it working based on what we have
    You just need to understand it"

    Great support.. NOT!!!!
