Re: Wiring of gecko drives in a CNC controller Im Building

Hi Alan,

This question has come up before. I previously suggested using four
separate switches, and I'm still of that opinion (I use four switches).
Why not just use a little 4PST switch (also previously suggested)?

I normally run with 'A' switched off, and the other's enabled.

Subject carefully chosen so I'm within the groups area!

I have 4 Gecko 201 drives in a controller Im building. Does anyone know if I
can connect all the Disable inputs together and switch them to ground using
one set of contacts or must I switch the Disable line from each drive to
ground using a separate set of contacts.

I'm a little concerned in case the drives interact with each other if I just
join all the Disable lines together and let them float during normal
operation.
