Ok, it is time to do a review of what we have done so far asto the wiring of the control box.
First, I did one thing backwards, but I decided to keep that format so that things would remain the same on the main power wires.
White is neutral, Black is the load or “hot”.
So the power plug, wired the black wire to pin 2 on the switch, then pin 1 on the switch to the load input on the power supply.
Neutral from the power plug to pin 3 on the switch, then from pin 3 to the neutral input on the power supply.
I checked continuity from each point to ensure that when the switch is activated, that the off position there would not be any continuity between the switch and the power supply.
The Ground wire from the power plug is connected to the chassy of the box.
Connected the neutral from the 48v negative to the negative on the X axis controller and jumped to Y axis and the from the Y axis to the Zaxis.
Connected the load from the 48v positive to the positive ofthe X axis and repeated the same steps as with the neutral wire, connecting to the positive points on the controllers.
The Ground pin on the power supply is connected to the chassy of the box.
On the motor controllers I connected a red wire that will be attached to the USB cable for the 5v input to the controllers in the following manner.
Lead in wire to the X axis Pull+ (5v) and jumped to the Dir+(5v)
Jumped from the X axis Dir+ (5v) to the Y axis Pull+ (5v)
Jumped from the Y axis Pull+ (5v) to the Y axis Dir+ (5v)
Jumped from the Y axis Dir+ (5v) to the Z axis Pull+ (5v)
Jumped from the Z axis Pull+ (5v) to the Z axis Dir+ (5v)
From the breakout board pin 2 to the X axis Pull- pin
From the breakout board pin 3 to the X axis Dir- pin
From the breakout board pin 4 to the Y axis Pull- pin
From the breakout board pin 5 to the Y axis Dir- pin
From the breakout board pin 6 to the Z axis Pull- pin
From the breakout board pin 7 to the Z axis Dir- pin
The Emergency Stop switch is connected to Pin 10 and the Ground on the breakout board.
The 18/4 shielded wire with outer ground wrap is connected in the following
From the each axis controller to it’s appropriate motor
Black wire from the A+ pin on the controller to the black wire on the motor.
Green wire from the A- pin on the controller to the green wire on the motor.
Red wire from the B+ pin on the controller to the red wire on the motor.
White wire from the B- pin on the controller to the blue wire on the motor.
The outer ground wrap were jumped together and connected tothe ground on the chassy. This wire will not be connected to the frame of the motor.
I have not connected the USB wire yet to the 5v lead in wire to the controllers.. That is all I have left to do. Which wire gets connected to the red 5v input wire to the hot side of the controllers?
