... The second half of my question (which you didn't quote) I explained my reasoning for trying to get the information early. I'm not pressuring anyone here,...
... Just use connectors with removable pins, so no matter what the pinout turns out to be you can fix it. :-) -- Member of the toughest, meanest, deadliest,...

Here's the pin-out for the motor cable male DB9 connector: 1) GROUND 2) GROUND 3) GROUND 4) GROUND 5) CURRENT SET RESISTOR 6) PHASE /B_OUT 7) PHASE B_OUT 8)...
How about providing limit switch inputs on some of the ground pins that are now just ground? Then the G540 could be a full break out board. Pete. ... From:...
You'll find it spelled loads of ways around the world, when referring to common rail terminal bars. Bus, Buss, Buz, Buzz and Brackets. I was taught BUS is...
I'll be posting the entire G540 schematic this afternoon. Since this is pinned-out for Mach3, it would help me to know which port pin is assigned to the charge...
The reasons for providing the limit switch signals on the DB9 are the same as providing the current setting resistor on the connector. It allows the easy...
Hi Pete, I could imagine that running the limit switch wires in the same cable as the motor drive may cause false triggering. Cheers, Peter. ... -- ... Web:...
Actually, there is a legitimate reason not to put them in both places. Limit switches must be wired with normally closed switches so that they are more fault...
Mariss, In Mach3 the chargepump can be assigned to any one of the output pins. /Henrik. ... I'll be posting the entire G540 schematic this afternoon. Since...
You don't have to use the same cable even if you use the same connector. You could choose to not use the pins in the DB9 and use the other connection...
OK, I uploaded the G540 SCHEMATIC.pdf to the files section. Maybe someone can look it over for dumb mistakes and whatnot. Otherwise I change the pcb layout to...
... cable as the ... my machine has a fixed screw and rotating nut. so the motor is on the carriage. that means my X axis motor could not have the end...
Hi Mariss, 1st comment. What about removing the 3 pin jumper for the charge pump so that it always connected to output P17. That way it can also be fed to an...
1) Limit switches are rarely located where the motors are. 2) Due to the paucity of inputs, limit switches are often wired in series. Because of this, there is...
Pins 1, 2, 3 and 4, 5 gives you the option of using or not using the charge pump. It seems with Mach3 I/O is at a premium and one very nice output is tied-up...
Hi Mariss, I think you misunderstood what I was saying. Yes, leave pins 4 and 5 there as this selects the charge pump option driving the ESTOP. If you want to...

... Most people I believe (I do) use the chargepump output to turn on and off the DC Motor Power Supply Relay. I believe it is a good idea to let this be your...
Will the G540 have a connector, internal to the cabinet, to connect a parallel ribbon cable? The reason I ask is because the SmoothStepper is about to hit the...
The reason is that optoisolator is treated differently. Note the NPN base connecting to the opto collector. It limits the opto collector to a 0.6V excursion....
Note the charge pump switches off the MOSFET gate supply when it is inactive preventing the 3 general purpose outputs from turning on. The charge pump must be...
There are a million different controllers with a million different interfaces. There is only one G540. I have picked the most ubiquitous interface I could...
