A.1 Feedback cables
The Baldor cables listed in Table 5 connect the ‘Encoder Out’ signal from a drive amplifier (for
example MicroFlex, FlexDrive
II
, Flex+Drive
II
or MintDrive
II
) to the ‘Encoder In’ connector on
the NextMove ES backplane. One cable is required for each servo axis. See sections 5.2.12,
5.2.13, 5.3.12 and 5.3.13 for the connector pin configuration.

If you are not using a Baldor cable, be sure to obtain a cable that is a shielded twisted pair
0.34 mm
2
(22 AWG) wire minimum, with an overall shield. Ideally, the cable should not
exceed 30.5 m (100 ft) in length. Maximum wire-to-wire or wire-to-shield capacitance is 50 pF
per 300 mm (1 ft) length, to a maximum of 5000 pF for 30.5 m (100 ft).
