How to configure MDrive23 Motion Control motor for CW/CWW signals

[jhenry1]

I am new to motion control, and am trying to interface a motor to a motor drive (already in a computer system) sending CW/CCW signals. Is it possible to configure any of the pins in a MDrive23 Motion Control motor to receive and translate CW+ CW- CCW+ CCW- signals? I have attached a datasheet that includes the pin layout. Other ideas are to convert the CW/CCW to step / dir, or use an Arduino to 'translate' the signal from driver to motor. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi JHenry,

What NI hardware or software are you using, or planning to use, in this setup? What is the full hardware layout of your system?
