I hope all your motors match your drives!
Mouser has all of the connectors for the SGDA. I don't have the SGDH so I haven't looked into what's needed for them. I skipped on the shells (covers) for the 3M connectors since they cost as much as the connectors. The TYCO motor connectors are going to need an open barrel crimp tool also.
The CW and CCW can alternately be the Step and Direction signals based on how the drive is programmed. If you already have your motors you'll know whether you need 4 or 6 pin connectors for them. If you have brakes on the motors (they'll have 6 wires) you'll also need a power supply to release them. These are typically 90V for the SGD, SGDA.
If anyone has the older SGD drives, the older SVMON software available here
ftp://ftp.yaskawa.de/Public/Software...otion&Control/ supports them also. The newer versions dropped support for the SGD. You can also get SigmaWin Lite here

Be warned that building your own cables is going to get spendy too. Have you checked the price on multiconductor shielded cable lately?
I don't have my notes on hookups handy, they're at home. They may not apply to what you want to do anyway. You can turn off most of the limits, etc. to minimize wiring if you are going to do overtravel limits at the computer. You can also jog the drive with the SVMON software, but be aware it
JUMPS to speed!
As far as breakout boards, I don't plan to use anything buffered.
One last note. The Gear 1, Gear 2 parameters will be very helpful in getting the step rate requirements to reasonable levels since the servo is expecting 8192 pulses from the computer per revolution of the motor if yours has 2048 PPR (line) encoders as most incrementals have on these.
