DMM Dyn4 brake (BKO) wiring / relay help

I'm just finishing up my Dmm Dyn4 Servo install and have to wire the Brake for the Z axis servo motor. Pin 19 on the Dyn4 servo drive is the BKO output. It is suggested we use an external relay but can we just wire it through one of the Acorn's inputs and have the Acorn disengage the brake servo ? M...

Re: How to wire Acorn board to Delta - E #VFD007E11A

Enclosed is the diagram I used for my Delta VFD with Acorn ( it uses two Omron external Relays.) The Delta manual designates the same wring diagram for both of our Delta VFD's. I believe if you reference the Acorn generic VFD schematics, as others have suggested, you'll be able to compare my wiring ...

Re: Dyn4 to Acorn cable - Why not utilize the Dyn4’s internal 5v power supply ?

The first schematics from Centroid for wiring DYN4 drives used DYN4's internal 5V. My machine is setup using this and it is still working 1.5yrs later :-) Cool, thank you, it totally seemed like a waste to not use the Dyn4's internal 5vdc power supply. It would free up a wire too, for things like a...

Please share the part number of the one you ordered if you have the chance.

Re: 3D printed DIN rail mounts for the Acorn, downloaded from Thingiverse

Cool, thank you! Attached is a drawing that I created by measuring my relay board. Its in millimeters ( tight dimensions ). See my PM reply for specifics.

Re: Dyn4 to Acorn cable - Why not utilize the Dyn4’s internal 5v power supply ?

DMM sent me a different pdf file this morning with their instructions for connecting to Acorn. DMM sent me one too. Is it this one ? It has multiple errors ( 2000 in gear num is the proper number and Servo Enable should be set to High ( unchecked ). [ 2nd Edit , I found a second error. Servo Enable...

Re: 3D printed DIN rail mounts for the Acorn, downloaded from Thingiverse

I printed these Din rail mounts. Thank you, they work great !! I was looking to modify one to make a DIN mount for the Relay board. Is this something you have done yet ? I'm willing to make the necessary modifications if not, but having the cad file would be necessary. Lemme know. Again, thanks... t...

Re: Dyn4 to Acorn cable - Why not utilize the Dyn4’s internal 5v power supply ?

Jake- this schematic shows input 5. Thanks.. however associating that diagram with the other one is a bit confusing should someone come to this thread looking for answers. It would be best if DMM just adds detail to the simple diagram by adding Alarm : Alarm/input 5. Then that wiring diagram can &q...
