    Different ways of connecting the steppers to the driver. Help required

    I am 99.9% there to connect my 4th axis to my machine and it has been a long time since I looked at all the tech info on the drivers etc.

    However, the 4th axis I have bought uses a motor with two windings on each side - i.e 4 windings with center tap.

    Now the stepper drivers in the machine YAKO 2811MA has no connectors for the center tap from the windings. See pic bellow... My setup is basically nr2 from the left.
    Now it's probably a very basic question but I have not the time to track down in the literature : Since the Yako miss the connector - is it just to skip this and leave the connection floating ?

    What may cause problems in case ? Should I double the current ?
    Would the stepper motor get damaged and is this doing something with the torque ?

    The pic showing the mid connector is how the motor should be connected to
    the stepper driver (YKA2402MA) but I was hoping I could use the YKA2811MA in stead...

    Hoping for some help so I could get this finished.
