Control and power four 23CL motors

[nachogil]

Hi,

I have been reading this topic:
https://forum.duet3d.com/topic/35786/using-tool-distribution-board-for-multiple-motors-23cl/6

And I need to clarify, because of my limited English and technical knowledge:

Could I pass the signal from a 6HC through the CAN bus of a TDB to four Motors 23CL (with brake) and power them through the TDB's four power connections, powering the TBD with the correct power supply?

The four motors will move a 3D printer's Z axis, which means they'll work during very short periods with extremely short movements (they are equipped with planetary gearboxes).

Which kind of power supply could be adequate? 48v 480w 20a shout be enough?

Yes you could do that.

48V 480W 20A doesn't make sense, it's either 48V 480W 10A (which would be sufficient) or 48V 960W 20A (which would be overkill). Even 48V 240W 5A should be sufficient.
