Hooking up 24vdc power supply to motion controller

AI Thread Summary
To connect a Wago 24V DC power supply to a Galil motion controller, the positive output from the power supply should be connected to the controller's +VIN terminal. The power supply's negative output is likely intended for the controller's GND terminal, serving as the common connection. The NC terminal on the controller remains unused in this setup. Additionally, the PE terminal should be connected to the ground busbar in the panel for safety. For further details, consulting the manufacturer's website may provide additional guidance.

Greetings.

I am asking for help connecting a Wago 24vdc power supply to a Galil motion controller. I have a very limited electrcial background.

The power supply (ps) has 120vac L-N-G inputs (I get that part) and outputs 24vdc/2.5A as two plus (+) outputs and two minus (-) outputs.

The inputs on the controller (con) are GND, +VIN, NC, and PE (the three pronged pitchfork symbol).

I'm guessing ps+ goes to con+VIN but the rest I'm un-certain about since the ps does not output a ground or common. I don't know if the ps- goes to the conNC etc etc. It seems I should also run a wire from conPE to the ground busbar in my panel?

A picture is below and believe me any help is really appreciated. Thanks.

Bruce

You can probably find the information at the manufacturer's website -- http://www.galilmc.com/

If I had to guess, I'd say the controller "GND" is probably for the 24v power supply (-) connection. The photo is too small to see any details.
 
Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...
While I was rolling out a shielded cable, a though came to my mind - what happens to the current flow in the cable if there came a short between the wire and the shield in both ends of the cable? For simplicity, lets assume a 1-wire copper wire wrapped in an aluminum shield. The wire and the shield has the same cross section area. There are insulating material between them, and in both ends there is a short between them. My first thought, the total resistance of the cable would be reduced...
I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
