It was one of the NEMA23 motors (I have two NEMA 23s and one 34). While the x-axis motor was working well, the y axis would not respond to commands from Acorn. I could spin it with the Teknic MSP software, and it had the flashing green light; it wasn't a cable issue or Acorn issue becasue switching ...

I have discovered these: HQ 10-Pin 5.08mm Screw Terminal Block Plug Shrouded Flange - Panel Mount They make running limit switch wires easier and allow for the machine to be more easily disconnected from the cabinet HQ 10-Pin 5.08mm Screw Terminal Block Plug Shrouded Flange - Panel Mount I believe ...

While still waiting for the mill to ship, have wired up today the Acorn with the Clearpath servos. Everything worked well. Added the contactor, and three inductive proximity sensors (have an order with AutomationDirect.com for normally closed prox sensors, but while waiting for them, have used some ...

Thank you Marty. I ordered the snubbers and the contactor.

You should use separate power supply for it. The logic power supply included with Acorn is only large enough for Acorn and perhaps some logiccircuitry. Thanks Marty, that answers my original question. What kind of current? Point being is you have to match the contactor to the type of voltage and th...

I am using the ClearPath SDSK series with their IPC-5 at 75 volts.

Yeah, the item you are pointing at in the screen shot above with your index finger. Do you have a link from where I can get it?
