Upgrading a K40 moshidraw machine to DSp

[Scottbgv]

quick trip to radio shack and got them now hooking them up,,,,,, i see three markings c no nc which is which? sorry i fell like i should know this but i dont

[fixtureman1]

C = common NO = normally open NC = normally closed depending on the setup you will use c and one of the other most likely NC

[Scottbgv]

which would be a ground? which would be the power? and thanks for answering so quick

[fixtureman1]

common would be but either should work as you are jus completing or breaking the circuit.

[Scottbgv]

silly me it was in the instructions I keep skipping that part because I didnt have the switches.. went back and looked and found it . used the c and the no

Read! Read! Read! You're getting there.

ok does the regular power go to the stepper controls because the the directions just show the wires hooked up and never say where they come from

Try this schematic for the wiring Lightobject.com Support Forum ? View topic - K40 dsp wiring diagram

[Scottbgv]

oh yeah thanks !!

[Scottbgv]

ok where do i hook the 120 coming into the machine

[mondo50m]

Onto the power supply that you got for the DSP. The 24v, 3a supply. Line in side.

ok got everything hooked up going to out and hook it all back up to the water and ground and see what happens wish me luck!!!!!

[mondo50m]

Did you also apply the 120 volt line to the Laser tube power supply? Double check and check again...EVERYTHING!!!
Of course, I wish you luck.

i had not done that .. something had caused a fuse to blow and i had to run out and get a replacement will double check everything now and try again

[mondo50m]

Fuses will normally blow if something is shorted. Make sure there are no wires touching each other to create a short. I have to go to work for awhile...will be back around 11PM. Best of luck to you.

turned it on and nothing then one of the steppers started to smoke... i hope i have not messed this up!!! did not blow a fuse and did get the right fuses the dsp didnt light up either should it of?

[Scottbgv]

wow feeling defeated right now no clue on what to do at all. i doubled checked the wiring its all just like the diagram going to have someone else come over and look also to make sure. i think the dsp was faulty thats why it never powered on and in turned shorted out the stepper . trying to get a hold of the place that sold it to me to see if they is anything they will do since i bought it over seas i would say they wont help/respond

[Scottbgv]

i have done my best to make it original now to take it back outside tomorrow and start it back up hopefully it will not burn up, glad i had pics of the wiring!!! so disappointed,,, lost about 400 bucks today

[mondo50m]

You only hooked up 24v from the new power supply to the DSP itself, correct? 120v should only go to the new power supply input and the inputs on the laser power supply.

[Scottbgv]

i had the 120 going to the input .the laser going to the input and the dsp wired into the input just like the picture showed i hooked up a volt meter and it showed 24 v at the dsp
