Hi,
I've begun to wire my steppers I'm stuck , To connect power my driver it has AC1 & AC2 is one POS. and one NEG.?

AC power does not use positive and negative.

I have 60volt switching power supply has POS and NEG. outputs
RM - but a SMPS puts out DC you need an AC output. You need a 20-80V AC power source. Put up an image of the output of the SMPS....Peter
Yes, you have a DC power supply, and a drive that requires AC power.

A DC power supply (30 to 110VDC) will work too, according to the manual. As long as it has enough power.
citizen dream you say it don't matter ac or dc ? does it matter which way i hook it up?
here is my power supply Attachment 436606
COD - Can you show image of where in manual it says DC is OK? Why do they say AC when they could have said AC/DC??? Found it but does seem odd.... Peter
it mentions it in 3 places but does not say which polarity to use so maybe does not matter???
Polarity does not matter. Input power goes to a diode bridge inside the servo, so you can connect "+" and "-" whichever way you like.
CitizenOfDreams Thanks! i will give it a go
As no one else has mentioned it - that is a SERVO driver and you have said you are using STEPPERS with encoders elsewhere ? ? ? Servos maybe AC powered - steppers are most certainly DC powered and polarity connections will be important yo ensure rotation direction is as commanded and not reversed!
I'd buy a toroidal AC supply. Something like a dual output 40v unit and wire it in series to output 80v AC.
A 60v DC might be a dissapointment.
