10.1
Fabricating the encoder cable
Use the recommended encoder cable connectors indicated in chapter 3 and chapter 4.
When fabricating encoder cables, note the descriptions in chapter 9, in order to ensure the reliability of communication.
Fabricate cables with the following procedure.
1.
Selection of connectors
• Check the cable clamp size, then select a connector shown in chapter 3 and chapter 4.
• Obtain the specification, wiring guide for the connector, and other documents from the manufacturer.
• Purchase assembly jigs and similar parts as necessary.
2.
Selection of cables
• Select a shielded twisted pair cable.
• Select a cable with a diameter that can be clamped with the connector cable clamp.
• Select a cable whose length, diameter, and bending life are appropriate.
3.
Assembly of the cable
• Check the wiring guide of the connector manufacturer, then connect the connector properly.
• Check internal wiring described in chapter 6 to connect it properly.
• Perform a shielding process on the encoder cable properly.
• Do not connect anything to unused pins.
• When wiring the CN2, CN2A, CN2B, and CN2C side connectors, connect the external conductor of the shielded cable to
the ground plate and fix it to the connector shell.
• When wiring the connector on the direct drive motor-side, connect the external conductor of the shielded cable to the SHD
terminal.
• Check if the pin arrangement is correct.
• Connect the twisted pair cable using the correct combination.
• Check if the number of pairs of P5/LG wiring connected in parallel is correct.
• Fix the cable to the connector with a proper clamping torque.
4.
Inspection
• After assembly, perform conduction, insulation, and other inspections to check if the connection is correct.
• Check the surface for scratches and contamination.
• Check the connector pins for distortions, bending, dents, and other problems.
• Check the connector pins for foreign matter adhesion, contamination, and discoloration.
