Need help to connect motor to controller

[ezland00]

Hello all,
I need help to connect motors to my stepper motor control. The motor I have is Powermax II Model: M22NSXB-JDS-NS-02 and the stepper motor controller is Stepper3 ROC from stepper3.com. I am new to cnc stuff some please help me how to connect them together.

anyone?

I have no experience with that board, but the manual gives you the pin numbers for the parallel port. It gives info on the motor connections, which you may want to cross reference with the info on the pac-sci website. They provide a generalised installation guide which I think is suitable for all PowMaxII steppers, although you should confirm this yourself by having a look around their web site.

How can i tell which pin in my motor is phase 1 out?

Go to page 54 of this:

http://www.xylotex.com/PacSciDS.pdf

Phase 1 is pin 6.
Phase 2 is pin 1.
Phase 3 is pin 8.
Phase 4 is pin 3.
Tie pins 2 and 5 together, this is you're phase 1 and 2 power.
Tie pins 4 and 7 together, this is you're phase 3 and 4 power.

I don't have this board, I just read the manual and the Pacsci .pdf above and this is what it appears to be to me.

How can i find out the rated voltage on the motor?

Usually written on the motor name plate. If the Amps and ohms are on there it's amps times ohms

I only see the amps, there isn't any ohms listed on the label
.

[balsaman]

can you measure the ohms with a ohm meter? If so post it here and also the current.

Thanks

3.3A, 0.76ohm, = 2.5V when wired unipolar.

Is there any way i can lower the AMPs on the motor, because my control card only support up to 3.0AMPs, and the motor is 3.3 AMPs. Also is there any power supply that you can recommend to me that is 2.5v?

Thanks guys for all your help
