8.  Connect EZServo to motor.

BLDC Motors: Connect servo motor  
and Hall sensors to the eight pins of  
the motor connector as shown in  
diagram: (See Wiring Note on  
preceding page and Hall sensor  
phasing instructions on this page.)

  On SV23 models, use 3-pin screw  

terminal for high-current motors.

Brush motor connections: Connect brush servo motor to the eight 
pins of the motor connector as shown in diagram: 
(See Wiring Note on preceding page.)

9.  

Ensure power is ON. 

10.  Test velocity function: 

Issue command /1N0R to tell the board there is no encoder.

Issue command /1P0R or /1D0R endless move; then confirm response.

Issue command such as /1V10R to change speed; then confirm 

response. (Hall sensors provide feedback for velocity control.)

11. If only velocity control is required, skip this step. If position 

control is required, turn power OFF. 
Then connect encoder to 5-pin connector  
as shown in diagram:

 

(See Wiring Note 

on preceding page

.)

12. Turn power ON.

13. Issue command /1P1000. The motor will move 1000 steps in 

the positive direction.

 

If motor spins without stopping, reverse the CHA and CHB 
connections.

 

You're on your way!

CAUTION! 
Always turn off power before 
connecting or disconnecting 
motor to avoid damaging 
circuit board.

NOTE: If you send your 
motor to us, we will be 
happy to work out the 
correct Hall sensor 
phasing for you.

CAUTION! 
Always turn off power before 
connecting or disconnecting 
motor to avoid damaging 
circuit board.

NOTE 
On SV17, Hall Sensor 
power is +15V. If +5V is 
needed, obtain from 
encoder connector pin 4.

Motor Tuning (BLDC motors)

If motor behavior is oscillatory:

Increase the value of the differential gain constant, for 

example /1y3000R.

If oscillatory behavior continues, motor is noisy, and 

encoder ticks can be heard, reduce both the proportional 
and the differential constants until satisfactory 
performance is obtained. For example, /1w250y500R 
works well, especially with high (4000) line-count 
encoders.

 

(The larger the line count, the smaller the w, x, and y 

values.)

Hall Sensor Phasing (BLDC motors)

This is a trial-and-error method for finding the correct 
hookup for your Hall sensor. (The correct hookup for 
many Hall sensors can be found in the EZSV17 or 
EZSV23 wiring diagram on our Web site.)

NOTE: For Hall sensor phasing by trial  

and error, you MUST use a current-limited 
lab supply set to the lesser value of 1/2A or  
1/4 of the maximum current rating of the motor.

1.   With power OFF and the encoder disconnected, 

wire Hall sensors to pins 1, 2, and 3 in any order. 

2.  Set the current limit low by issuing command 

/1m30R.

3.  Do the following as you try each of the 6 possible 

wiring combinations (123,132, 213, 231, 312, 
321): ALWAYS DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE 
CHANGING WIRES

Issue command /1A1000R. The motor  

should spin smoothly in one direction for  
about 5 seconds and stop

.

While the motor spins, hold its shaft lightly  

and observe any "dead spots" that you feel.  
DO THIS ONLY IF YOU CAN DO IT SAFELY!

Four combinations will produce dead spots or 

positions at which the rotor locks.

One combination will produce dead spots or 

positions at which the rotor locks that are less 
obvious.

One combination will produce very smooth motion 

with no dead spots or rotor locking points.This is 
the correct wiring combination for your Hall 
sensors.

 

NOTE: Don't switch power wires to the motor; 
only switch Hall sensor wires.
