    Default DYN4 ONPOS or ALM?

    What signal are people using from the DYN4 drive for fault detection?

    The ALM (JP4, Pin 18) or the ONPOS (JP4, Pin 6)? I guess the ONPOS (following error?) would stop faster, but the ALM signal is probably what most people use?
    I couldn't find any wiring examples, either in the manual, or anywhere else.

    Second question. Are you using the previous signal to kill power to the drives, or for the enable signals. If you are killing power the the drives, then I don't see any reason to use the Enable signals?
    The manual shows the E-Stop killing power, but nothing about the enables.

    Use the Enable, to control the on /off of the Drives, the ALM is mostly used, but also does not need to be used, the drives will fault if any conditions are not meet

    Dmm will help you with any wiring, what to connect, and what's needed to get you running
