Does anyone have any infomation on these drivers and how to hook up the limit switches to these ?

cheers Ken

Ken, these are just the driver ICs, looking at the data sheet.  You would normally connect the limit switch to the software that drives the drivers, for example to the Estop input if using Mach 3.  Info on the IC is available at:

I think he means one of these.

Looked at the setup.doc and found no input signals at all including E-stop

Hmm.

 

That page links to this:

 

http://www.savebase.com/infobase/downloads/TA8435H/4axis_driver.doc 

 

which describes the unit with the connections including the usual enable/direction/step inputs.  Also describes use of Mach 3 and the unit comes with a copy of Mach 3!  Obviously expect you to use the normal E-stop via a break-out board.

Look carefully this is a combined driver and breakout board hence the parallel port input,

Can’t have this and a breakout board on the same cable.
