I have several questions as to where wires are to be placed:
1. The vexta motor has 6 wires:
a. Red
b. White
c. Blue
d. Yellow
e. Green
f. Black
Where do these go?
2. The power supply does not specify where to supply power. In other words, once I energize the transformer where do connect which wires? To the break out board, to the geckos, to all of them?
3. Would it be possible to get some sort of wire diagram?
I am using the PMDX 131. Here is a pic of my layout. |

Here is where I assume the power out is? See the Black and Red wires.

Loren,
I can only give some very basic help. You should get help with any electrical wiring that you don't understand perfectly. Mis-wiring can be fatal to you or to your equipment!
I don't have a PMDX-131, and I haven't throughly studied the on-line manual so USE MY SUGGESTIONS AS A STARTING POINT ONLY.
- Connecting the power supply to AC:
You're on your own here. Your power supply should have a diagram that tells you how to connect the transformer to AC.
- Connecting the power supply DC outputs to the PMDX-131: (Be certain that the voltage is between 24VDC and 80VDC)
The POS (+) connection from the power supply goes to PMDX-131 pin J1-1. This line is fused on the PMDX-131 for each G202 motor.
The NEG (-) connection from the power supply goes to PMDX-131 pin J1-2.
- Connecting the stepper motor's wires to the G202:
Half-coil (unipolar) - CW rotation
Black to G202 Phase A (TERM 3)
Yellow to G202 Phase /A (TERM 4)
Green not used (put a wire nut on the Green to keep it from touching metal).
Red to G202 Phase B (TERM 5)
White to G202 Phase /B (TERM 6)
Blue not used (put a wire nut on the Blue to keep it from touching metal)
Full-coil (bipolar series) - CW rotation
Black to G202 Phase A (TERM 3)
Green to G202 Phase /A (TERM 4)
Yellow not used (put a wire nut on the Yellow to keep it from touching metal)
Red to G202 Phase B (TERM 5)
Blue to G202 Phase /B (TERM 6)
White not used (put a wire nut on the White to keep it from touching metal) |

See the photo in this post If you have 110V supply the 2 blacks are tied to each other and the 2 reds are tied to each other.
You don't need the fuses shown above the rightmost gecko - your PMDX131 already has fuses. |

Ok, I had them in place (the fuses) just to be safe but they can go.
The Transformer has a wiring diagram for pluging into the wall so I'm ok on that part, it was the power from the ANTEK to the PMDX and the Geckos that haulted progress.
There really isn't any clear instructions for wiring all of these components. If a wire diagram was "suggested/posted" that would be very helpful.
Everything seems to be comming along ok,thanks for info. |
