Title: PoKeys connection to stepdrive
Post by: Holzwurm56 on September 17, 2012, 09:35:27 AM

Hi ,
I use pokeys55u . It's possible to connect the pokeys directly to the stepper- or servodrives and endswitches or it's necessary
to switch a converter , optocuppler or other between the units ?

Thanks

Hans

Hi, Hans

Most of the stepper drivers can be directly connected to PoKeys56U device with Pulse engine enabled. Also the switches can be connected directly to PoKeys board.
However, if long cables for switches are used, these must be shielded with the shield grounded.
