Possible Combinations to connect a Motor
The following tables show feasible ways on how to connect the motor with its respective feedback sig-
nals or possible combinations thereof. To find the wiring that best suits your setup, proceed as follows:
1)
Decide on the type of motor you are using; either DC or EC (BLDC) motor.
2)
Connect the power supply and the logic supply by following the links to the stated figure.
3)
Check-out the listing for the combination that best suits your setup. Pick the wiring method #
and go to the respective table; for DC motor
Table 4-50, for EC (BLDC) motor
4)
Pick the row with the corresponding wiring method # and follow the link (or links) to the stated
figure(s) to find the relevant wiring information.
