Control a brushless DC servo motors with ACE’s stepper outputs
In this example, we’ll be controlling a brushless DC servo motors.
Here is what we’ll end up with
Control a brushless DC servo motors
Wiring
ACE to motor connections using 8 wire control cable:
- Tie Blue, Green, White and Black to the same +5V used to power the PLC.
- Yellow is Step
- Brown is Direction
- Orange is Enable
- Red is a signal from the motor, telling you when a movement is complete
