Welcome to LinuxCNC.org

Is there an enable line on the drive? All three of my servo drives have some sort of enable that must be connected before the drive will move...

There seems to be a few enable signals. I'm looking at the pinout information and the signal that suppose to into the connection, it seems I'm not putting the right connection together to get the drives moving.

This PDF is too big to attach to the forum, but here's a link. I'm reading Page 23, 24, 25 and I have to use the page numbers on the PDF program not the pages on the document itself.

This PDF is just the maintenance document for my lathe. I also have the PDF's for the Drive and the Control too.

The drive PDFs or at least the connections would help.
I think you are right there are still some enable conditions unsatisfied
(is the main motor power enabled?)

Here is the drive PDF document. Please let me know if you find anything. I'm still trying to get through it.

Looks like 2 enables, "controller release" and "pulse release"
These both have to be driven to +5 ..+30V relative to gnd to enable the drive

(there are 2 pulse release inputs but these are 'Ored" together so either will do)

I see the pulse release and the controller release, but here is my problem. The connection for the pulse release in the manual has a letter designator of "IF" for the connection. There is no "IF" on the terminal block of the 3 TRM 2 board. There is a "JF", is that the same as the "IF" ? I'm guessing it's the same.

So here is what I'll try tomorrow after work, let me know if this sounds correct. I'll connect a +5V...+30V signal and touch the "RF" terminal on the board with it and another to the "JF" terminal. Theoretically that should enable the drive so I can move it with a +/- 10V signal. Only I'm not sure where on the drive terminal block to apply that +/- 10V signal that's suppose to run the motor. Maybe I can just put that voltage in the connector where it was plugged into the Anilam Controller, I have the pin-out information. That sound like it would work?
