Dc servo motor control

Haha yes I should have looked more it would have saves time! now I have both the servo enable and the servo drive dc voltage contactor working, I spent a long time looking for the pins for the contactor, but it was just simply 2 pins on the large x1 terminal strip, 23 and 25 I think. Then the servo enable was pin3 on the x4 connector on the servo power supply board, but yes both would be easier to function from the computer cabinet.

hopefully will have boards soon to start installing.

Then my first ever time to use linux.....

I now have the machine moving X+Y and all encoders working!
Servo tuning next.

Thanks RodW for all the help! 
Also to Tommylight for his previous posts and advice
Esaber for the esab schematic upload
gnipsel.com was also useful for encoder help.

Still a good way to go yet
I bought a 176a with EM-1A electromen dc motor controller for z axis and mounted and encoder, the encoder works however the motor controller is no good, I have no signal ground for analogue control. there is signal input, -5v and +5v.. looks like I will have to get something else

I have the bipolar chip installed,

It can take -10 > +10 signal, I just have no signal gnd, the 0v is for motor power gnd. 

could I use a diode?

Ok, providing the power supply is not grounded I use pin 4 gnd 0v on the motor controller to connect my isolated power supply 0v and my signal 0v from the mesa on the same pin?

Thanks, il give that a go. I was set to start servo tuning, I had the single servo enable from the esab just done through an estop however i have now wired it through a ss relay to one of the 7i77 outputs, I selected "machine is enabled" in the pnc config, it works ok in halshow using the sets command 0/1 but has no functionality in the qtplasmac interface, do i need to wire each sevo enable individually?

Also I can check the y tandem encoder in halshow however I dont know how to test motor direction,  I could test all the other motors direction and encoders in pncconfig but it does not have a setting screen for y tandem

Sorry this was an accidental double post
