Subject: Connecting Servos

Greetings,


I am connecting Stepper / Servo drivers directly into the KFlop board. I am relying heavily on this documentation to configure the step and direction channels on JP7 and JP5 of the Kflop.


http://www.dynomotion.com/Help/StepAndDirection/StepAndDir.htm


I am wondering if there are any issues with plugging directly in to the KFlop board? This Misumi linear slide was particularly difficult to configure. For some reason the ONLY way I could get it to work was to tie the ground of the 24V power supply together with the 5V ground. Would sharing a ground with the 24V put the KFlop at risk?


Is it common to hook up directly like this? Would it be better to be using some sort of an interface board? Does Dynomotion offer a good board for this purpose, or does anyone know of a good one?

 

Thanks,


Scott

Hi Scott,

It looks like those drives requires a common GND between the logic and 24V.  That shouldn't be a problem if the wiring is localized and short.  KFLOP doesn't have any 24V IO.  It isn't clear what you are wiring up.  Our Konnect offer 24V IO.
