I recently obtained some steepers and a full axis setup with controllers that was going to be trashed. I would like to put these to use but am a little stumped on how to control them. The motors are a nema 23 style made by American Precision....
Model M232-09
1.7vdc
4.7amps
5 wire
The controllers are LN2 series made by Precision Controls. They have a parallel port for input as follows.
1 STEP+
14 STEP-
2 DIRECTION +
15 DIRECTION -
16 SHUTDOWN +
17 SHUTDOWN -
9 FAULT +
21 FAULT -
11 RXD
24 TXD
12 RS232
What can I use to drive these?
With the software I have seen I havent seen a way to drive these. I would like to keep these boards as the built in power supplies are pretty beefy and they run off 120v. Thanks
