Centent and Pacific Scientific

[IN-WondeR]

I have these nice Centent CNO162 Stepper Drives that I'm going to use for my CNC...
I Have also got myself some nice Pacific Scientific Powerpac single stack motors...

Heres my question.

If I only use half the motor, and only uses 4 wires, will I loose Holding Torque in the motor, or will it stay the same as if I connect them paralell on the Driver...
And if I have to use all 8 wires, shal I put two wires in each terminal on my CNO162 as pr the manual for the Driver.???

I have added the link to the CNO162 Manual...

Look at page 11, under table III.

It says as follows...

Pacific Scientific l Terminal 3 l Terminal 4 l Terminal 5 l Terminal 6 l
...........................Black........BLK/WHT........Red.......RED/WHT
.........................ORG/WHT.....Orange......YEL/WHT.....Yellow

Does this mean that I have to put the two wires that are listed under each terminal in that terminal for paralell Winding...

I hope someone can tell me the answers for my questions...

Thank you...

Find a datasheet for the motors, it should tell you how to wire them parallel or series. You don't wire two wires to each terminal.

I've used the following script to help sort out the stepper motor wires, if you don't have the datasheet handy.

This is the insatallation file from Pacific Scientific..

It's the first installation method I'm going to use, Bipolar Paralell...

As I see it, I have to put two wires into each connection in the Driver...

Yes, that's correct. My mistake, I was thinking bipolar series.

But I fI only use half winding's will I loose torque then.???
