2. Wiring and Connection
2 - 8
2-3 NC and drive unit connection
The NC bus cables are connected from the NC to each drive unit so that they run in a straight line from
the NC to the terminal connector (battery unit). And up to 7 axes can be connected per system. (Note
that the number of connected axes is limited by the CNC. The following drawing shows an example with
4 axes connected.)
< Connection >
CN1A : CN1B connector on NC or previous stage's drive unit
CN1B : CN1A connector on next stage's drive unit or terminal connector (battery unit)
CN4 : Connector for communication between power supply unit (master side) and drive unit

CAUTION
Wire the SH21 cable between the NC and drive unit so that the distance
between the NC and terminal connector (battery unit) is within 30m.
POINT
Axis Nos. are determined by the rotary switch for setting the axis No. (Refer to
section "4-1-1 Setting the rotary switch".) The axis No. has no relation to the
order for connecting to the NC.
