Convert the signals from differential to single ended at the motor by bolting a CCA to the back of the motor along with a cooling fan. Solve two problems at once.
Teknic brand servo motors have an integral motor driver unlike most stepper motors. The SDHP Teknic motors require a 5VDC-24VDC single ended voltage for STEP and DIRECTION signals. Most CNC controllers (MASSO, ACORN) typically output STEP and DIRECTION commands as RS-422 differential signals in a complimentary positive and negative voltage. While it is possible to directly connect the differential signal to the motor input it is not recommended by the manufacturer. Direct connection invites problems for noise and missed signals due to temperature changes on the semiconductors which can be exacerbated in high noise environments.
SOLUTION (SDHP MOTORS ONLY)
The CCA provides the following features:
