Am i alright right in the choice of wires chosen and could you advise me on wire between BOB and driver.""
You need 4 core cy cable I use 1mm but some use 1.5mm the screens (braid) of the cy cable are all connected together at the star point at the motor end the cy cable screen is just insulated ( not connected).
I use cat 5 cable between the BOB and driver (twisted pairs) ..Clive
Thanks!
Im using Nema 23 (sy60sth88-300bf) motors (link is http://www.zappautomation.co.uk/elec...per-motor.html).

So from what I gather, Ill connect all the screens to the star point from the motor end. Should I use any specific wire for connecting screens to star point?
