ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Figure 11 shows the basic connections for the Spyder Dancer control system. See Figure 15 for complete
connections. The "Tension Off" connection is not required. The simplest and minimal connections are:
24 VDC power
Earth ground
MAGPOWR DFP or DFP-2 dancer position potentiometer
RUN/STOP switch using the Spyder internal logic supply
E-Stop jumper between Term.10 and Term.11 (This is supplied by default from the factory)
Potentiometer (1K to 10K ohm) for position setpoint. Alternately Setpoint can be set using the Ethernet port or
the Setpoint screen. Choose the Setpoint Source from the Configure menu.
Output to clutch or brake amplifier, current-to-pressure transducer, motor controller, etc.
Route power wiring away from sensor and control wiring. Run all wiring in shielded cable except for the 24 VDC
power which may be twisted pair. Connect cable shields to the terminals provided. Maximum shield length and
maximum length of wires outside of the shield is 1.5 inches (38 mm).
The load cell connections and signal inputs and outputs are Earth ground referenced. The power input circuit is not
isolated, since the negative lead of the 24 VDC power input is Earth ground referenced.
See Figure 12 and Section 7.3 for connecting the DFP or DFP-2 (Dancer Follower Potentiometers) according to the
Dancer system types.
