Hello -
I`m setting up my control with PMDX126, PMDX 134, Ethernet Smooth Stepper and Mach4. I`m able to communicate with ESS. There is power going into the motor - this i know cause the I can`t rotate the shaft by hand. I am not able to get motion on the motors. I`m guessing the Step and Dir signals are not being conveyed from the ESS to the PMDX134. I`m still unclear about setting the Mach4, see screen shots. Am I missing anything. The wiring make sense? The jumpers? I did reverse the Step and Dir pin outs as I read the Dir are on even and Steps are on odd, then I tried the other way around - but I still can`t get the motors to move.
Also, you can see in the picture that the ribbon cable connecting the ESS to PMDX134 is twisted, as the layout is different from the manual - but it still makes the connection as it is supposed to do I think. When I send commands in Mach4, the screen coordinates update but nothing on the motors, which means commands are not being routed to PMDX126 - ESS - PMDX134 and then to the motors. Where is the issue here?
The Motors are wired as Bipolar Series.
Any help to get me up and running will be greatly appreciated.
Here are the pictures of the wiring, and the configuration.
