(3) Connection Example
The following diagram shows a connection example. Use an SN75ALS174 or MC3487 manufactured by 
Texas Instruments Inc., or equivalent for the line driver.
 Line Driver Output
 
∗   represents twisted-pair wires.
 Open-collector Output
Set limit resistor R so the input current, i, falls between 7 mA to 15 mA.
∗   represents twisted-pair wires.

•  Use a shielded cable for I/O signals and ground both ends of the shield. 
•  Connect the shield of the cable on the multi-winding drive unit side to the connector 
shell so that the shield will be connected to the frame ground (FG) through the con-
nector.

 Example
 When Vcc is +12 V: R = 1 kΩ
 When Vcc is +24 V: R = 2.2 kΩ
 When Vcc is +5 V: R = 180 Ω
Note: In case of open-collector outputs,
          the signal logic is as follows.
When Tr is ON 
High level input or
equivalent
Low level input or
