B.
Attach the other end of the motor power cable to the motor, after first removing
the plastic cap protecting the motor’s connector. Note that this cable is keyed
and can only be properly attached to one of the motor’s connection points.
C.
Motor power cables purchased from Emerson include a 1-meter, single
conductor wire with a CX11-3 connector on one end and a ring terminal on the
other. This cable provides grounding connections for the frame of the motor and
should always be connected. Custom cable builders should always include this
cable. See the previous connection diagram for proper connection to the
amplifier.
(Repeat this procedure as needed for the other axis in the system.)
For more information, please refer to the Servo Product Specification Guide,
GFH-001.
3.
Connect the Motor Encoder Cable (K2) to the
Series Digital Servo Amplifier
The motor size ordered for your system determines the K4 motor power cable you will use
if you ordered prefabricated cables with your system. Please refer to the table below to
determine the correct encoder cable catalog number.
D.
Remove the protective plastic cap from the connector on the motor, and locate
the encoder cable K2, (see table 10). This cable has two distinct connectors.
E.
Plug the end of the cable with the D-shell style connector into the connection
labeled JF1 on the servo amplifier (see Figure 13).
F.
The other end of the cable is configured so that it can only be attached to one
connection on the motor encoder (red end cap).
G.
(Repeat this procedure for all axes in the system.)
