Slaved axis, 2 steppers on Y axis with a PLC4x-G2 ? what about the XP23 connector ?

[Boyan Silyavski]

Hi,

3 - I've read on the manual of the PLC4x-G2 http://www.zappautomation.co.uk/prod...download?id=99 that i can do something with the XP-23 expansion "2 step motor drivers can be additionally connected through expansion socket XP23 if it is necessary" But how ? do i need a second PLC4X-G2 or an expansion board ? because i don't see any step and dir on XP23 connector ?

Thanks for your help.

google translated from russian forum:




Actually, not clear with that with XP23 -
12 and 5 - as I understand it ... and power outputs a current limitation? What can I hang here?)))
XP21 pin 1/14/16/17 - is Input or Output? MLM depends on the settings of the software? What napruga and the current max?
IN6 - simply duplicated XP30 aka e-stop?
ENABLE - ummm ... it's here for what? output signal? or what? :?


Well, about the connection DSHD - I have only 5 input on DSHD, sootvetsvtenno, you can take it any contact + step | + dir | + enable?


Well, a little proposal for revision - and make outputs XP5-8 XP31-36 based on IDC-connectors ... very much do not want to board something to solder, such as connectors for a week I can not find ... :(






Hello.
The XP23 connector has outputs for connecting pins 1/14/16/17 5th and 6th axes or for other needs.
+ 5V is used to connect these pins as a general alarm output (connection sourcing).
+ 12V is used.
The connector XP21 pin 1/14/16/17 is output, the maximum current depends on the LPT port on one computer is 5mA, 20mA other.
Enable - an output signal for controlling the driver.
When connecting the driver circuit for sourcing + step / + dir / + enable this general conclusion + 5V.
