Wiring a motor - as a newbie!

[D-man]

Ah that does make sense! cheers pal!

however my current setup runs 4 pins and this one will work out as 6, or are you saying that the joined wires dont go to anything which would result in 4 pins :)

Are you sure you want to use that way to connect the motor ? that's a series connection, most would recommend the parallel connection.

A+ Red
A- Black
B+ White
B- Green

Yellow & Blue, connected together but going nowhere, just insulate once joined.
Orange & Brown, connected together but going nowhere, just insulate once joined.

Crap ran into another stickler...

Im using the MSD542 drivers with the Nema 23 SY60

Motor diagram looks like this...


However the Driver datasheed does not give colour codes http://www.motioncontrolproducts.com...ing-driver.pdf

I have the wires joined, its just getting the 4 coupled wires into the A+ A- & B+ B- if you know what i mean.. how do you determine what double wire is for where

[EddyCurrent]

A+ yellow/white & red
A- yellow & red/white
B+ green/white & black
B- green & black/white

see diagram on page 7 for parallel 8 wire connection

Ok so, going for the parallel connection am i right in saying...

A+ - Red/Blue
A- - Yellow/Black

B+ - White/Brown
B- - Orange/Brown



My head hurts this early
