Juha,

Where can I get CSMIO/IP Motion Montroller Configuration tool?

there is no tool, you have to go to main menu bar cofiguration -> configure plugin.
hope it is named so in the english version, because i have a German version.

But I'm still curious to know why STEP/DIR output minus signals (e.g. pins 14 and 15) do not fuction as expected.

CSMIO/IP controller has differential outputs and your driver has optocoupler inputs.
my english is too bad to explain the difference (hope one of the english guys will explain).

here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_signaling

is something to explain differential sgnaling

Hi,

How is it, are these IOs protected e.g. against short circuit or not?

yes only step/dir not.

Are the signals fixed or can these be configured in Mach like it is the case with LPT-port?

in Mach3 port/pin -> motor outputs only the enable axis is important rest is done in the
configuration of the cs-lab plugin.

for the wiring, you first have to figure out, witch inputs your motor controllers have,
the choose the right wiring diagram.

just cannot get the meaning of "and in the CSMIO/IP-M we have to use the GND on 2nd PIN or ANALOG I/O 8 connector"
Where the GND can be found from, is it analog IO terminal pin #2 or pin#8 or what?

CSMIO/IP_S GND at step/dir connector pin 13
CSMIO/IP_M GND at analog connector pin 2 or pin 8
