KL-4030 Driver Info - wiring help needed!

[vacpress]

I just got a Keling package. Seems like it is nice stuff for the price. John was easy to deal with. However, I need some information about this stuff and cannot find it. The documentation is charmingly difficult to read. Here are my questions, I hope someone can help!

1. On the KL-4030 drivers, there is a 'rest' input, i think. I am hoping this is an enable. Anyone know what the deal with it is?

2. On this connection diagram I am not certain I see a connection between ground on the PC side and ground on the Driver side. I do see a common +5. I am guessing this is meant to be driven with low going steps then?

3. The motor hookup chart shows 4 of 8 wires. It has 8 listings. I cannot tell if I am meant to hook the motors up with pairs of 2 wires, select a pair, or what. the 3 main possibilities I can see are: (thanks for any help)

A+ Blue\White
A- Blue
B+ Green\White
B- Green

or

A+ White\Red
A- Red
B+ Black\White
B- Black

or

A+ Blue\White & White\Red
A- Blue & Red
B+ Green\White & Black\White
B- Green & Black

john,

thanks. i actually figured that part out after looking at the motor's datasheet. any word on these 'rest' terminals? do they cut juice to the motors? i suppose i will just see how they respond to +5v across them.

nice stuff. i will send you some photos of my machine and controller box soon. it is almost done.

Reset signal is same as Enable signal in some other driver. This signal is used for enabling/disabling the driver. High level for enabling the driver and low level for disabling the driver. Usually left unconnected(enabled).

I just purchased a Harbor Freight X2 mill and was wondering which of your packages you recommend for the conversion? So many different choices I'm not sure which to pick.

If its any help I won't be working with any steel. I will be using the machine for prototyping in plastics and some aluminum. Thanks in advance for any help you can render.
