    CENTENT MOTOR WIRING
    --------------------
    These pinouts are straight out of the Centent CNO143 manual.
    Quothe the Centent docs:

        "One motor winding connects to T3 and T4, while the other
        winding connects to T5 and T6. The step motor drive will 
        operate 4, 6, and 8 wire motors. The 6 and 8 wwire motors 
        may be wired in either a series (low power) or parallel 
        (hi power) configuration. For 8 wire motors, follow the 
        manufacturer's hookup diagrams for series or parallel
        operation." (See below)

    In the following table, T3, T4, T5 and T6 refer to the numbered
    terminals on the drive. Colors indicate the wire colors that 
    come off the motor shown.

    FIELD WIRING NOTES
    ------------------
    These are actual wiring diagrams I've used in the field.
    These are NOT from the Centent docs; use at own risk.
    Although these work, double check manufacturer's recommended
    wiring; see SLOSYN(DOCS) man page ('man slosyn') for info.

         (*) 8 WIRE NOTE: With 8 wire connections, WHT and BLK are
         tied together, but are not connected to the drive. Also,
         WHT/BLK and ORN are similarly tied together.

     The following tables are for Superior Electric motors, and 
     pretty much re-iterate the Centent docs, albeit clearer to
     my eyes:
