Wiring an 8 wire Nema to 4 core CY cable to an AM882

[JAZZCNC]

Could be any wire you want so long as you connect it to the right phase on the drive but here's what I would use.

Wire # 1 = A+ = Red+Blu
Wire #2 = A- = Yel + Blk
Wire #3 = B+ = Wht + Brn
Wire #4 = B- = Org + Grn

Thanks Jazz, that worked perfectly luckily I twisted the pairs on these motors when I first fitted them so when I swapped the wiring it was super easy to work out the pairs. It worked first time and even both motors went the right way so bonus ;)

I went from being able to move the dual motor axis at 4m/min to over 15m/min without firing fault protect on the AM882's, 20m/min worked but that screw looked scary lol so I dialed it back.

25m/min and it fired fault protect had to try, 1610 ballscrews with cheap ass mounts but am going to buy a set of proper angular ones from BST.

What controller you using and how many volts. Do you have a ratio on that because at 1:1 that's 2500Rpm.!!

it's 1:1 with couplings, I have 80v PSU self build 1kva and AM882's 1 per Nema which can drive up to 8amp's I believe.

I think the screw whip is just over 2000 rpm for this length so I was surprised it went up to 20m/min.

DDCSV 2.1 I have microsteps set to only 2 at the moment the minimum the AM882's will let you set them from the jumpers.

2*4nm Nema 23's from CNC4you on the bottom axis, 1*3nm on the gantry both fire fault protects when I go over 20m/min but under seem to work but I would never run then that fast lol.

Rest of the machine is not up to the job for sure.

Your asking for trouble running at the drives Max voltage. You will damage them at some point if your running at high feeds and happen to catch the mains at a peak the back EMF will fry them.!

They will run like a grumpy bear at 2 x turn them up to 8x and they will run much smoother, you'll lose a little torque but will run much nicer.

I'll try that in a minute, thanks.

PSU test's at 72v without load ~68v with load with home supply when I try it at work I get 78v without load and around 70v with load, it's a Toroidal transformer.

That really confused me originally but power is far from clean.

When Maplins went bankrupt they were half price so I bought 2 both 1kva.
