Hi Mariano- The fuse is located next to the electrolytic capacitor inside the drive and looks like a green 1/4W resistor. If you are adding a fuse then you would want to put it in line with the DC (+) of your power supply. A resistor is not needed with the STEP and DIRECTION line unless you are using a current source PLC that outputs more than 5VDC. We have an application note on our website covering how to use higher voltage command inputs.
You will need to tie the STP and DIR (-) lines together and run them into the COMMON terminals, then run the DIR+ to the DIRECTION input and the STP+ to the STEP input.
hi; can you please explain me were the fuse would have to be installed on these drives?, before( near the terminals) or after the capacitor? capacitor voltage be ok 150v? if the supply is 64vdc?
You would want the fuse on the DC+ terminal in line with the power supply, but the G203V, G213V, GR214V, and G540 already have a built in fuse. A capacitor voltage rated for anything higher than your DC input is fine. The lowest common voltage rating you would want to use with a 64VDC power supply is 80V; a 150V capacitor will not cause any problems but will be physically larger for the same capacitance rating.

Very professional and informative. Thank you.
Fun fact: This is how they used to make the music for old video games.
Hi, The question is, can the 201X driver be used with the Arduino UNO interface? Thank you and I hope your answer.-
Yes, the G201X can be used with the Arduino Uno.
Hi; and were I can put the protection fuse for the drive? and the resistors on the step and direction terminals are they necessary? thanks again

from my cnc board, i have output + and - direction.
how to connect it with geckog g203v.
The gecko board has only 3 inputs, not 4.

Hello.
How to connect Geckodrive G203V with a driver that has dir + and dir- outputs?
You will need to tie the STP and DIR (-) lines together and run them into the COMMON terminals, then run the DIR+ to the DIRECTION input and the STP+ to the STEP input.
