optic direct
I am using an oak board with a LC4DBRKOUT connected to an OPTIC DIRECT board on the DELTA slot to control a 5th axis. Is there a pinout for the LC4DBRKOUT or OPTIC DIRECT board? Will be using Kollmorgen drives.

Re: optic direct
Normally LC4DBRKOUT is used with the Yaskawa header H2. Pinout attached for H2.

Re: optic direct
The cable was marked DELTA, that is why I used the delta header, are the cables header specific?
Re: optic direct
I don't know if the ribbon cables are header specific.
If you wish to use an analog output from your servo drive to drive a load meter in the Centroid control, then it will be a little easier to do through the Delta header H3, because that header includes analog input lines. When using the Yaskawa header H2, you have to run a separate pigtail to plug J1 to get the analog load signal into the OpticDirect.

Re: optic direct
Here is the drives page of a schematic for a router retrofit I did, with Kollmorgen Servostar Cd drives connected to an Oak plus an OpticDirect.
See lines 9-12 for the OpticDirect H3 pin numbers that correspond to the various required drive signals.

Re: optic direct
The Delta cables are slightly longer than Yaskawa. There is no other difference.
The analog input is the only reason I know for using the Delta header with the breakout board. It is more convenient than using J1, just as cncsnw described.
