Stepperonline CL86Y motor wiring error

Hey Folks,

Just wanted to share the color code error in the manual for the Stepperonline CL86Y. Finally, got to changing the NEMA34 steppers on my Hardinge HC/Omni Turn slide with Acorn board with closed loop steppers with CL86Y drivers. The main problem for changing was the threading with regular steppers was inconsistent and kept ruining parts. I was following color code printed in the manual for the motor and the system was totally confused, throwing drive errors. After measuring it and few times trying/changing polarity the correct color code is A+ Green, A- White, B+ Black, B- Blue for CW direction. The encoder wiring is fine. The threading now is perfect and very consistent.

Hope this is of help for someone.

Best, M
