Ok, so I'm rebuilding my 3d printer and I've come across a compatability issue. My controller has step/dir output pins. The drives have the CW-,CW+, CCW-, CCW+ inputs.
I haven't been able to get this to work correctly.
First I tried,
cw- and ccw- together going to ground
cw+ to step signal
ccw+ to direction signal
On controller connector I have
Pin1 = step
Pin3 = direction
Pin2 and pin4 ground to pin 18
Like this the motor runs quickly one direction but very slowly the other direction.
It also travels less in the slow direction.
I undid all that.
Then I,
Set Parameter 4 to 1
I have a DC DC converter going from 24vdc to 5vdc. The positive side of 5vdc output runs to CW+ and CCW+ (pins 1 & 3)
The step signal is run to CW- (pin 2)
The direction signal is run to CCW- (pin 4)
The motor runs one direction until it crashes. No matter how far I tell it to go. Nothing happens in the other direction.
So I'm at a loss. Pleeeeease help.
If I'm understanding it correctly some people have used some sort of logic gate based circuit. Unfortunately for now, that's just over my head.
The board is a azteeg x5 gt
The drives are stonker (China)
Basic component files are attached.
