Take a deep breath, remain calm and read the stepper motor stuff by gecko

This one is rather enlightening regard power draw and such
www.geckodrive.com/support/power-supply-basics/


I've had my mill setup for that long, using KL5066 drivers (no longer available) max PSU is 50v and I've been running them for years, 10+, on 48v with no ill affects. I think the motors are set for 4 or maybe 4.5 amp I thought I'd add I've run them on days where its been +35'C outside no idea what it's been in the workshop.....no issues

@meister Thanks for the offer, but I think I have it figured out, just waiting for the board to arrive and test!

It's true that the 7I76U P1 DB25 pins are not relevant to normal
LinuxCNC setup which deals  with things like stepgen numbers.

The picture on page 4 gives the general location of the I/O pins and the individual
connector (TB1 through TB6) tables give the details. I guess it would be possible
to have another drawing with the individual pins labeled.

Set them at 2A and test, see if that is enough for what you need, if not add more in steps and test again.
And while testing, every 10 to 15 minutes do check the motor temperature with your hand, they might get warm and they might get hot and that is ok, as long as you can keep your hand on the motor all is good, and even when it feels it burns like hell, they are still OK, but you might want to lower the current a bit.
