Everything is ready to go except the interface cable. i understand the anthenal plug goes into the back of the plasma unit. though the other end of the cable is 4 spade connectors. i know there is two sets of wires, one black with a green wire and another black with a red wire. one is an arc ok and one is a move ok, i belive. i have a gecko g540 motor drive and from what i understand, the wires from the interface cable go there. from what i was told, it seems like all of the pins on the g540 are either inputs or outputs. so how do i determine weather the colored wires on the interface cable are inputs or outputs? the black wires would obviously be the opposite. but im also not sure what to do about configuring the arc ok and move ok in mach 3..
Am i on the right path? or does this make me seem lost in the head? lol
any help would be greatly appriciated!
thanks
