Please review my schematic and advise why I have no movement.
Thanks

You have all your inputs set to normally closed. Is there a wire or device closing all the input circuits? Set to "Bench test" to verify motor motion, then configure each of your inputs. Some, if tripped will prevent motion
Have you set the signal to "Inverted" on the advanced tab?
Have you set or tried setting parameter 968 to "12" for 100K step pulse rate?
Try these one at a time and in the order listed. Let us know if any worked

On advanced tabs symiced A TO C with A inverted
I am showing all my stops tripped and not wired any up
Do not know why all imputes set to close.

Setting signals to inverted is not the same as reversing the direction of the slaved motor

Do not know where to find this (Have you set or tried setting parameter 968 to "12" for 100K step pulse rate?)

The limits that are tripped will inhibit motor movement. They did for me (albeit I could go one way but not the other).
Disable the limit switches in the wizard and try again.
Another option is to use the 'bench' setup and go from there.
Also ensure you do not have Drive Status mapped unless you are actually using that function, that stops mine completely too.

Input 5, Drive OK, set that to unused. You should then have movement.

Could never get MDI to open. Still no motor movement. Tried to export video but was in.mov format. What format is desired?
