INSTALLATION
OVERVIEW
The Positioning Drives were designed with simple installation in mind. The Drive normally
back-mounts into a standard NEMA enclosure. Because of its small footprint and no need for
external transformers, boards and power supplies, the Positioning Drive saves significant panel
space and cost over alternative servo positioning systems. Wiring and connecting the drive is
equally simple. AC line power is connected via provided screw terminals. All 120 VAC models
use single phase 50/60 Hz power. All 230 VAC models use 3 phase 50/60 Hz power.
Inputs and outputs for control and status are wired to a 12 position, detachable terminal strip (this
also makes servicing easy). The RS423 serial interface used for setup, status and control can be
connected with a 9 pin D-type connector. The motor connections for the 120 VAC single phase
models are accomplished with factory supplied cable and mating connectors. The higher power
230 VAC 3 phase models are connected via screw terminals at the amplifier and motor. This
allows the user to supply his own wire.
The larger drive motors also have NPT pipe thread holes for metallic raceways. It is a
requirement that the stator wiring R, S, T be run in metallic raceways and 1-1/4” pipe conduit
holes are provided. The feedback wiring must be done by using shielded cabling with 100%
shielding via a foil shield and a braided shield.
