Wiring up the Alarm output on Leadshine AM882

[joel0407]

Hey guys,

I know this thread is a little old but it's about he only decent thing that comes up when I searched "AM882 alarm wiring". I just registered to post this update.

This is just an FYI how mine worked. I have 2 motors on one axis and I didn't want the driver to sense something that would put it in to alarm and stop one motor while the other kept going. Hope that makes sense. I wanted that if one driver went into alarm that the others would stop.

Turned out really simple. In the software set the alarm to go "LOW". Run the E-Stop though as many switches as you need then end at the "ALM +" of the first drive then "ALM -" to the "ALM +" of the next and so on. After the last drive "ALM -" goes back to the control board "GND" and that's it. Job done. If any drive goes into alarm, the circuit is broken and E-Stop is activated.

Happy Days
