First thanks to pburgh, cut2cut, phazertwo - all the info you guys shared was very valuable as I read and re-read then went to work...
Got my PM-940CNC VS a few weeks ago. Spent one day looking the nMotion controller and the terrible documentation and ordered the Acorn.
Rewired all the home and limit switches to be NC and got a new NC E-Stop Switch.
"Bench" tested with the Acorn on the bench and jumpers running to the Stepper Drives as first step.
Then mounted Meanwell RD-RD35B where the nMotion was and used 10-32 threaded rod to build a stand off mount for the Acorn.
Getting the spindle motor running took the most time and I eventually pulled the relays and when direct from Acorn to the Delta VFD - that did the trick and out came the relays and their wiring...
Bought Fusion360 and am going to start making some simple parts for my muscle cars and my dads '58 chevy truck. With the mill and my Miller MIG, Miller TIG, and all my handtools I feel like I can fab just about anything. Sheet metal brake and sheer is next tool!
Here come the pictures....
