So I have been trying to wrap my head around the whole wiring job in general.
I plan on using:
*570 oz steppers XYZ
*MX3660 as the BOB / drivers / spindle control
*Some kind of Proxy sensor one the X,Y and Z. One each that will act as home and limits
*also running wires for the OE tach pick up
I was looking at doing a box on the back of the machine like Hoss did recently, But I found a site called automationdirect.com and I can get M12 connectors / cables / panel mounts rather cheap. So I think I want to go that route and have all the wires connect to panel mounted connectors in the enclosure wall.
So I have read that I should go with shielded cables. How would I make this work with my plan of using the panel mounted connectors?
To tell you the truth, I'm not even sure how to connect the shielding for it to work!(flame2)
Please, can someone "learn me some Knowledge" one wiring one of these machines
Thanks,
Andrew
