Connecting Encoder
As the easy servo drive works in close-loop mode, it needs to know the actual motor position. The
encoder mounted on the motor offers such information. Please note that the easy servo drive can
not work without encoder feedback.
ES-D508 and ES-M3 series motors
The encoder extension cable is required to connect the motor and ES-D508. The drive will not work
properly if you connect the motor
’
s encoder cable to the ES-D508 directly.

Encoder connections between the ES-D508 and ES-M3 series motors
ES-D808/ ES-D1008 and ES-M2 series motors
The encoder output of the ES-M2 series motor is a HDD15 connector while the encoder input of the
ES-D808 / ES-D1008 is screw terminal, so an extension cable is required between the drive and
motor.
