Larry thanks, I very much appreciate the support.

I did measure 100K Ohm to gnd and tried fooling it but no luck. I'll try to make a cable diverter that passes all signals through except the encoders. As soon as I enable the circuit, the Overtemp LED lights up. I've not yet been able to get the servo motor to receive current and be frozen as I did when verifying the drive function stand-alone. I do have access to the encoder info from the user 15 pin D-Sub pinout. Can I piggyback the signals back to the Step2linear or do I need to guarantee that no encoder info enters back to the drive from the main feedback cable? By this I am asking if I can ever have the feedback cable connected back to the drive or at least must I ensure that the drive never sees any encoder signals at all?
Thanks

Make a 15M- 15F adapter that connects all the motor pins to the drive except the encoder pins.

( It may work if you piggyback the encoder pins to both the drive ans S2L , but its not recommened because both devices terminal the cable and may load the signals.)
