Re: Wiring KL-5056E and KL-8070D drivers

Let's back up just a little bit to the point where you laid down electrical tape beneath the Acorn board and used rubber insulators at each screw hole. I would advise putting spacers (or screws with nuts spaced to work as spacers) to lift the Acorn to a safe height (at least 3/8th inch between the ...

Wiring KL-5056E and KL-8070D drivers

Automation technologies has a ready to go box with everything all hooked up.

I'm now in over my head and stuck. I've got the 48VDC/12....

Re: Wiring

This has definitely been an experience so far lol. I'm loving it though. I had also shot automation direct an email right after i made this post on here.
