**RESOLVED** Baldor enable

[N8945Z]

I am using Baldor Flex Drive II drivers. The enable circuit 24V to pin7 and common to pin9. This pulls the enable to active low. (switching the voltage on the pins goes to active high) Can the enable out go to pin9 and the enable common go to 24v common, or is a relay needed due to the voltage? Has anyone used these drives, if so how did you wire this?

Hello,

From the Baldor Flex II manual:
3.8.1 Drive enable - X3
The wiring to the drive enable input can be connected in one of two ways. Because CREF is
common to all the digital inputs, this has an effect on the sense of DIN0 to DIN7. Either
method provides a suitable drive enable input:

Active low
To cause the digital inputs to be active low (active when grounded) connect +24VDC to pin7
(CREF) and 0V to pin 9.

Keep in mind that this makes ALL the inputs on the Baldor drive active low.
