Should I remove the power from the optoisolators when I remove power from
the driver? I am using CMD-260 drivers for all 4 axis in my setup. If I am
not using the CNC rotary table I would like to unplug it and get it and the
cable out of the way. I know I need to remove power from the driver before
unplugging the stepper motor, but should I also remove power from the
optoisolators in the driver? I am going to put in a switch to control power
to the A axis and can just as easily make it a DPST and I can an SPST
switch.
