Brother TC-211

I would not expect a battery on the drive analog inputs to
drive the motor unless the drive was enabled.

AFAICT from the manual, the drive is enabled by shorting CN8-15 to CN8-16

Went back and jumped pin 15 and 16, applied power nothing still. Any more ideas.

I would back to the Brother controller and measure all I/O pin voltages on
CN8 when its operating to figure out what the drive needs to be enabled

Ill work on it tommorow

Ok got some interesting numbers. Pin 1 to 2 was the voltage desired. All Ok there

pin 17 to 18 was continuity at all times.

The word one was pins 14 15 and 16

14 to 16 was 22.5 volts

pins 14 to 15 caused a fault and trip thru my meter.

So how do I get the voltage to pins 14 and 16 thru the card and in the future how would I configure it

You should be able to measure between 14 and 15 without causing a fault
but make sure the meter is in voltage mode


do not ever use Ohm range or continuity test when power is applied
