I am replacing a stepper motor and am checking that the wiring is the same as my old motor. All of the wires are colored the same: black, green, red, blue. But my old motor uses the convention black A+, green A-, red B+, blue B- and includes this diagram. diagram

My new motor includes a very similar diagram. But with some added detail and labels: black A, red B, green C, blue D.

detailed diagram

Can I treat the wiring the same to my stepper driver?

Yes, as long as you get the coil connections in the proper order everything should work.

  • \$\begingroup\$ Could you clarify what is meant by the proper order? I am a little confused. I think you are saying make sure the two pairs match up on a given coil and that's all that matters \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Correct As long as you get the proper pair of leads for each coil connected properly on the driver you're set. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 19, 2022 at 2:10
