Yes , I have the resistor in place as well, I was one of the few that had motors that needed the resistor added but only on one motor so I have 3 left over and used one of them, the double purple wires, one goes to the input and the other goes to power, jumpers to the power, motor still stays energized with the e stom engaged, looking forward to seeing what you find.
Thanks, Pat
Did Onefinity assign separate inputs on the controller for each motor alarm (XYZ)?
Are all 3 motor ENA +(or - ?) connected together in the Touch enclosure.
I installed my own G3 controller, but just curious as to how Onefinity decided to wire theirs.
Does the purple wire going to lower have a 10k Ohm resistor on it? I’ll look when I get back home, but that’s what I’d guess that double wire is doing.
All three Enable wires are connected together inside the enclosure.
I haven’t looked at the Alarm wires yet, but I suspect they’re separate as the controller knows which axis is alarming. Not sure about that yet though.
Yes the alarms are on separate inputs with a jumper to the power terminals. I think my issue may be the motor I chose, it has + and - for the enable and alarms on the driver board, the Masso motors only have + connections on them.

What voltage range will your driver accept for the ENA signal?
The masso motors go a different way than industrial standard, you only have a single ended 24V= input on enable and therefore you need a common ground, “motor -” and “controller -” has to be tight together - which is done in the onefinitiy, as there is only one common power supply for controller and motors.
A third party device with ENA+ and ENA- just exposed the LED of the opto coupler to the controller, therefore you can’t simple just put one wire here. In addition the voltage level is different and the logic is different, this was discussed already here
It is rated 5- 24 volt, I got it from Stepper online, seems to work good, smooth and quiet.

I think I will just buy the Masso motor, seems to be the way to go for me.
Thanks, Pat
Did you wire the negative pins to ground?
It would be for ease of installation and peace of mind. There are solutions to your current setup, but it would require more work, expertise, and - what I always do - a final check with Masso support to approve it.
I got mine working today. I wired the Alarm like the Masso documentation said, since the Elite has all of the other motors on powered from one pin with a different sized resistor than Masso suggested. It was just easier to use a separate pin than to mess with that.
I wired the Enable like 1F did.
I haven’t cut anything with it yet, but it jogs, homes, alarms and honors E-stop.
The power light on the motor stays on when the E-stop is pressed, just like the other motors, but the motor freely spins.
Now to figure out how I want to mount it.
Great , what motor are you using?
I’m using a Masso 3Nm. I’m sure I don’t need that big of a motor, but that’s what I have.
I went ahead and ordered the 1.2 Nm like on the rest of the machine, I should have done this in the beginning, live and learn I guess.
My spoil boards run parallel to the X axis so I just remove one slat and two tee tracks and it fits perfect in that place, didn’t plan it but it worked out.
Thanks for all your help.
Pat
Yes I agree on all points, I seem to be the type of person to go about it the hard way first then end up doing what I should have in the end, too old to teach me new tricks.
Thanks for all your help
Pat
I am sure you could have done it, but this way you have an elegant solution that you know will work.
It is always harder to try to add functionality to an existing system that has been wired a certain way, with enclosures that were not ‘intended’ to be opened.
Looking forward to seeing what you create with the rotary axis.
I am looking for the connectors to iterface in the bottom of the Masso enclosure as there is a cutout there, I see you found something to fit there, would you mind sharing the part numbers for them.
Thanks, Pat
Some of these #s came from jtech.
There are lots of pin options. These are the ones I picked.

these strain reliefs work ok but are not as pretty as the onefinity ones. (need 2 per connector)

Wow that was quick, thank you very much, greatly appreciated.
