The used model I saw (s20360-srs) fits my drive perfectly power wise, but the 'srs' option seems to indicate some kind of connection called 'SynqNet'. I'm not interested if I have to buy a bevy of special purpose hardware. If I could plug it in and get it running without too much pain it might still be an option.
Is it true that the s200 runs off of AC power and doesn't need an external DC supply? That would be a plus.
This motor is probably too small and too fast to be well suited to any axis on my CNC
