Hello,
Looking at the stepper based motion control solutions at AD. I wanted to verify that the '05, and '06 are compatible with the stepper drives they sell now. Other than speed limitations, a stock '05 or '06 should work fine shouldn't it?
The spec sheet also mentioned that the drives' inputs are 5V TTL and to use resistors with 12 and 24VDC PLC outputs. I didn't realize that was possible (I'm still struggling to learn electrical fundamentals). Switching that around, how would you 'pull up' a 5V TTL signal to use with 24VDC PLC inputs? For example, using a PC parallel port 5V TTL output to trigger a 24VDC input on a PLC. Thanks.
EDIT: Ok, duh, you can't change 5V into 24V with nothing. I guess I would have to use a relay with a 5VDC coil and use it to switch 24VDC to the PLC's input right? Thanks.
