2.6. Motor Feedback Connectors
The motor feedback connector (a 25-pin, D-style connector) has inputs for an encoder, limit switches, Hall-
effect devices, motor over-temperature device, 5 Volt encoder and limit power, and optional brake
connections. The connector pin assignment is shown in
with detailed connection information in
the following sections.
