Bipolar (Series) Connection for 6 leads High Torque, is what I am hoping for. Thanks! bump
Hello I am new to all things cnc and am trying to hook up my nema23 six wire steppers to the TB6560 driver board mentioned above. I have received some documentation, but have sent the same question posted here to the original seller (in china), and am still awaiting a reply (so I am posting here for the time being). I can't make sense of the minimal info they have given, and am hoping someone here can give some advice/info. I don't know which wires to cap off/leave out, which to hook up; 4, or all 6? Thank YOU!

wires are red, green, blue, yellow, ( black and white) do I cap off the black and white and don't let them touch? Anyone, bump
You can not tell just by the color as it varies by supplier. You need to determine which is the center tap and cap it off. Have you done a search on the part number to find the data sheets for your motors?
If you can not find a spec you can find the center tap by measuring the resistance between the wires.
The center of each coil will have half the resistance between the wires of the full coil.
Do you have a part number.
Do you have a meter to measure resistance.

Thanks for your reply, I am looking it up now...one moment
Found this much so far, am still searching, I think I may have a volt meter...haven't used it in a while and am going to try and track it down. Thanks
Part No.: 57BYGH633
Frame Size: NEMA23
Step Angle: 1.8 degree
Voltage: 3.0V
Current: 3.0 A/phase
Resistance: 1.0Ohm/phase
Inductance: 1.6mH/phase
Holding torque: 13.5Kg-cm 191oz-in , with unipolar (For Bipolar connecting, the holding torque is 270oz-in)
Rotor inertia: 480 g-cm2
Detent torque: 0.68 kg-cm
Number of wire leads: 6
Weight: 2.20lb (1.0 kg)
Length: 78mm
A spec sheet I found shows black green pair with yellow center tap and red blue with white center tap
If this checks out with meter cap off the yellow and white wires.
If it was me I would verify with meter as the result of a wrong connection is a blown driver
Best of luck
George
Thanks George could you link me to the spec. sheet? I found the volt meter, but its an old dial that doesn't seem to be working, better invest in a digital to be safe.
thanks, I was just on the kysan site...thanks again!
I just attached a file of what the seller sent me, and I still can't tell what goes where, which is A+/-, B+/- etc. and which to cap off. What should the voltmeter be reading out for me to know what is what (I have ordered a new digital one and am waiting for the mean time). Thanks Again
It does not matter which is a+/- or b+/- as long as a pair go to A and a different pair to B
If motor goes in the wrong direction you can change a pair around or just change the coding in software
For example hook Black to A+ and green to A- then Red to B+ and blue to B-
Just be sure the white and yellow wires are insulated from each other and the other wires and ground. That is cap them off so they touch nothing.
