  1. Whats the best way to drive a stepper with a 1100 for just a forward movement and stop at a prox. Is there a way to use a Bit to move and stop? Sorry if Im confusing Im new to steppers Im using output pulse train 2 and 3 and I can move the motors when I put in the pulse count , I would like to know how to just run at a set speed with a direct bit until the bit is not made.

  2. I see it pulsing on the front panel of the 1100 and in RS logics. I also tried to wire to the on/off and it just makes the stepper hold position tight. One part of the scenario I forgot is I get 24v out of the AB Pulse. The drive takes a 5v or 24v source pulse according to anaheimautomation. I have a feeling that I was misinformed.

  3. Ross, Thank you for taking the time to respond. I used the same 0v to both ground on the stepper and -24v on the plc with still have no luck. Is that what you are asking or am I mistaken ? I also kept asking anaheimautomation if the 0v reference is internal to the Pulse. They take way to long to get back to me. When I was getting ready to buy I got responses fast. When the drives won't run its been 3 days and no response so far. I really want to have a good relationship with them it just seems they don't have the time to help me.

  4. Hello I was searching the internet and I came up with this forum. Im excited to be part of it as a newbe I have a question on a micro 1100 with pto outputs to a stepper drive. The drive I'm using is anaheimautomation MBC25081TB - Stepper Drivers with DC Input. I was told that the sourcing output of the 1100 would work fine with the clock input on the drive. this is how I wired the drive and this is how the drive looks. Im not even sure what Im doing I have the plc set up and see it pulsing but for the life of me I can't get the drive to move. Can you please tell me the errors of my ways. Im very new to this and its killing me trying to get this running.
