I shouldn’t have. I should have just used the old 1.2Nm that I replaced with the Z braking motor. At the time, that motor wasn’t available, so I bought one from Onefinity. I never used the 3Nm.
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. Great info.
I got my 4th axis up and running with only a few headaches. But each time I hit an issue, I found the answers here.

Hello all, the posts have been super helpful.
I have a question, what are the pros and cons of using the original motor that comes in the mentioned rotary compared to getting the 1.2nm masso elite motor?
If i understood correctly, it’ll be the ability to attach the alarm and e-stop?
I got the driver to attach the original motor to the masso.
I’m just so new to this that it’s challenging to understand everything that has been mentioned. Although i’m understanding more and more as i do my own research.
In my opinion it comes down to a few points:
- The wring of the MASSO motor to the G3 is more simple
- The original motor with a driver will not allow you to recover lost steps like the MASSO motor will.
- It’s a consistent setup with the other motors.
None of these points are show stoppers or are likely to have a material impact on your work.

Thanks for the reply my goodman.
What i’m understanding is that it’ll be simpler to set up and when it comes to an accidental shutdown of the job, i’ll have to start over where the MASSO motor will continue from where it was last at?
Do I have my set up correct if I go with the original motor?
- connect to DM542T driver
- Make sure I connect to power on Onefinity control box
- set switches 3,4,6 on
- connect 4 cables to MASSO
- set up 360 degrees per revolution (fixed)
Drive: figure out the math for my motor?
max feedrate: 1,000,000
Acceleration: ???
travel min: 0
Travel Max: 1,000,000
Backlash: 0 degress
Angular axis: On
no OHM resistors?
That’s something I see a lot with the MASSO motors, OHM resistors.
Unless the original motor also needs them.
My impression was that the MASSO motors are the ones that needed them, therefore I got a little wary of going that route.
I can’t speak to the wiring with the controller, at least not with the same degree of confidence. I see it’s been a while since you asked this, so I bet you have it figured out by now anyway.
I actually haven’t, i’m still in the same spot as last time. There’s not a lot of guidance out there and i’m very new to this electrical field.
