Honestly, I can't remember the details of the connector on the board to recall how I did it. I am at a different office right now and don't have the schematic or the actual machine here.
Can you jog my memory: how many pins are there for direction and how many for speed control ? I think there is fwd-common-rev for direction and 3 pins for speed. Am I right ? If so, I put an opto between fwd and common and another between common and rev. Check the voltages on the pins and get the collector-emitter polarity correct before you hook them up. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Let me know if you need me to verify the wiring. I might be visiting the shop this afternoon.
