Hi Jazz,
Sorry its not so clear in the image I uploaded is it...
Its a pcpps bob
http%3A%2F%2Fwww.diycnc.co.uk%2Fforms%2FPCPPSV3.pd f
And the drive is a leadshine m752.
I have been running without using the enable function (nothing connected on the drive) but i wanted to understand how it could work really.
Cheers,
Jim

Yes I had a feeling it was PCPPS.
just take Ena(+) on drive to Ena pin on BOB and Ena (-) on drive to Gnd on BOB. You'll then have to set the Enable output in mach and tell it which pin number.

Great, thanks for that Jazz I will give it a go. :)
Follow up question, should there be a power up order for the PC, BoB, stepper drives, Vfd etc?
Cheers,
Jim

Clives correct but really if control is done correctly it would go like this.!
PC First then turn on Power to control box which turns on the BOB and Low voltage PSU for safety. Then the drives etc come on when you push the Reset button and only if every thing is safe do so.
This way if the Control software isn't in control and ready. ie: PC crashed Bob will disable motor outputs because no charge pump.
Or if the E-stop is pressed safety system won't turn on the drives, vfd etc.
Or if limit is pressed the system will reset and drives will turn on but won't enable there outputs and also shouldn't allow control softare to reset.Last edited by JAZZCNC; 24-12-2015 at 08:29 PM.
