4.1.2.1 Drive
Setup
Connect a serial communication cable between the drive and host computer to establish a
communication link between the host computer and the S200 Base Unit drive.
Plug one end of a serial communications cable to J5 (Serial Port) of the S200 drive and the
other end of the cable to the host computer's serial COM port.
NOTE
: The serial communications cable is not shipped with the drive. It must be ordered
separately.

Setup
If you are using an S200 Base Unit drive, use the J3 connector for motor feedback. Only SFD
motor feedback is supported on Base Unit drives. If you want to use SinCos or ComCoder as
motor feedback, you must use the AUX FB (J14) connector, which is not available on Base Unit
drives. See Drive Model Numbers and Descriptions for a complete list of S200 drives.
