Thanks for that info. I should be able to install my VFD. I am in the process of installing an Acorn board on an Emco compact 5 cnc lathe. I am watching Marty's videos which is very helpful. On one of his videos, he explains how to install a 24 Volt VFD but on an old Acorn board which was not equipp...

Désolé,je suis Français et j'utilise un traducteur.

Thank you for your help. I will test the resistance in series on the signals. I want to turn off the motors because I live in a cottage where I don't have electricity, I run on solar panels, so I try to save every milliamperes. Are Closed Loop Stepper Motors Considered Servo Motors? If it does and i...

I used the connection seen on the pdf S14851.
If I use only the DB25 where plug the enable?
I think that i need connect to the H2 or H3.
It's ok?

Francis.

I don't understand, if it's not good, can you explain to me?
