Robert,
To get your drive going, don't worry about Stepper/spi or Err/Dout -
these are used when you're trying to interface it to a PC for changing
parameters using the test software. You should have your motor power
applied to the two power input pins and an auxialliary 24 volt (nominal)
power feed going into the 6 pin connector. You reference your step and
direction signals to this ground or 0 V - i.e. the gound line of you
auxilliary supply i.e. pin 2 of J1.
You should also be aware that the servo tuning utility that you download
from the Rutex website is fantastic to allow you to quickly tune your
PID settings. It gives the motor a step impulse and then plots the
response on the pc's screen. You will see from the graph whether you
need more/less damping etc. etc. You'll need to make a custom cable to
use the test software - but it is worth the effort!
Cheers, Peter

I'm a little confused on the wiring of my Rutex drives. Perhaps
someone can
help? There is a line "stepper/spi" what is it for?
and "ERR/DOUT" what is this one for?
and last, the step and direction are 0v-5v. There is no ground? doesn't
there have to be a current flow?
