Power supply for Nema 23 Stepper ?

That's right, it's like the weakest link in a chain.
Look at the voltage ratings of all the equipment. Whatever has the LOWEST maximum rating will be the highest voltage that you use for that entire system. You can use lower voltage, within reason, and the system will still run - it will just run a little slower.

Ok so got a few bits but super struggling with the wiring side made someone could clear the fog..all lights up nothing has gone bang ! but nothing moves or shakes or rattles yet...but locked solid when the power is on. Help

Hi Buell,
Excuse the crap drawing (I'm not good at drawing with a mouse) but I think you need to connect it something like this:
I would connect the Direction, Enable and Pulse wires to -ve but then you need to common all the +5V terminals together and connect them to 5V. The inputs are usually opto-isolated and you need connections to both -ve & +ve.
Phil.
Buell:
Thanks for that...finally found something online...turns out its ...
PUL+DIR+ ENA+ all together to the last terminal on the controller ..have no idea what that is as its in chinesium.
PUL - to CLK
DIR- To DIR
ENA- to En
so one other question if I had made the worst dogs dinner out of this , is there any damage i could do ? other than mains in and 24v to the wrong terminals ?
Just the beginning for me doing this kind of stuff !
Thanks for the reply this thing works !
John Swift:
Buell
can you post a link to the instructions for the pulse / direction board ?
I expect the two terminals labled in Chinese are +5V out from the regulator IC
and the common 0v to the pulse , direction & enable outputs
for your initial test just connect the stepper driver -pulse to the negative supply terminal
and + pulse to the pulse board pulse output
PS
do you have a multimeter ?
with the meter set to ohms
you should be able to test for continuity between the negative supply terminal and the two terminals labeled in Chinese
to find out which is the 0V and which is the +5V out
