HBS860H to DB25 OR Screw terminals?

Post by mOSkit »

Hello
I`m very new to centroid and I`m very confused if i have to connect my HBS860H drive to DB25 breakout or can i go straight to the screw terminals.
Has anybody wired this spefic controller?
I have seen 3 posts and Franco videos and still don`t have the answer.
I read the stepper documentation and it`s saying 5-24v signal, however on page 94 of centroid manual it states that "In Most, use DB25 step and direction.

My steppers are powered with 48v dc nema 34

Any advise is greatly appreciated.
Kris

Steppers are wired to the DB25.
Cheers,

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.

So, why on Franco videos I see him wired into the screw terminals?

Because with some stepper drives it is working also, but not as smooth as on DB25.
