SMCU Starmill Stepper Board Pinout? (Dir / Step and motor)

Post by paragon » Mon 04 Apr , 2011 15:54 pm

Hello All,

Does anyone know of any circuit pinouts for the SMUC Driver connections?
This is on an old starmill it has 3 X L297 based Parker Digiplan Drivers that connect to a mother board that has screw terminals for motor connection and an IDC connector for step dir.

If anyone could let me know the step/dir and motor connections that would be most helpful.

Kind Regards,
SRG

Thanks for the link!
It has helped with regards to main motor out pinout but unfortunately it doesn't mention anything about the step/dir pinouts which I believe are delivered through the connector X11!?

It appears this is an older version than the mill I have as it only mentions the number keypad whereas the Starmill I possess has the front panel with the LCD, encoder wheel, buttons and emergency stop button attached to it.

Kind Regards,
