TERMINAL 10 

Common 

 

 

Connect the controller’s GROUND to this terminal. 

 
TERMINAL 11 

Current Set 

 

 

Connect one end of your current set resistor to this terminal. 

 
TERMINAL 12 

Current Set 

 

 

Connect the other end of your current set resistor to this terminal. 

 
POWER SUPPLY WIRING 
 
TERMINAL 1 

Power Ground 
Connect the power supply ground to term.1 
 

TERMINAL 2 

Power (+) 
Connect the power supply “+” to this terminal 

 

The power supply voltage must be between 15 VDC and 80 VDC. The maximum power supply current required is equal to the 
motor’s rated phase current. An unregulated power supply may be used so long as the voltage stays between the specified limits; 
keep the power supply ripple voltage to 10% or less for best results. 
 

CAUTION! Power supply voltage in excess of 80 VDC will blow the G203V internal fuse. 

 

CAUTION! Reversed power supply polarity will blow the G203V internal fuse. 

 

CAUTION! Never put a switch on the DC side of the power supply! This will damage, if not destroy, your drive! 

 
The  choice  of  power  supply  voltage  depends  on  the  required  high-speed  performance  from  the  motor;  doubling  the  voltage 
doubles the motor’s high-speed power. In all cases the power supply voltage should be no less than 4 times or no more than 20 
times the motor’s rated voltage. The motor may not run as smoothly as possible if the power supply voltage is less than 4 times 
or more than 20 times the motor’s rated voltage. A power supply voltage greater than 20 times the motor’s rated voltage may 
overheat and damage the motor. Motor winding inductance should be 500uH or greater. 
 
A more accurate calculation of power supply voltage is to find your motor’s inductance, and put it into the following equation. 
 
 

32 * (√mH inductance) = Power Supply Voltage 

 
If your motor has 2mH of inductance, the equation would look as follows. 
 
 

32 * (√2) = 45.12V 

 
MOTOR CONNECTION 
 
TERMINAL 3  

Phase A  
Connect one motor winding to this terminal 
 

TERMINAL 4  

Phase /A 
Connect the other end of the winding to this terminal 
 

TERMINAL 5 

Phase B 
Connect the other motor winding to this terminal 
 

TERMINAL 6  

Phase /B 
Connect the other end of the winding to this terminal 

 
One motor winding connects to terminals 3 and 4 and the other winding connects to terminals 5 and 6. Turn the power supply 
off  when  connecting  or  disconnecting  the  motor.  If  the  motor  turns  in  the  wrong  direction,  reverse  the  motor  winding 
connections to terminals 3 and 4.
