2.3 Cable Connections
Connect the following groups of cables together, isolating each of the signals:
POWER SUPPLIES – use 22 AWG (or lower AWG) wires for the power supplies.
For noisy surroundings, it is recommended to twist the ground line and the power
line together.
ANALOG COMMAND – a twisted shielded cable is recommended.
DISCRETE INPUTS – These signals are not sensitive to noise and can be
grouped together in the same harness with any of the other groups.
2.3.1 Grounding the Driver – IMPORTANT !
ATTENTION:
To ensure that minor electric shock does not occur, the
ground screw on the bottom left of the front panel
MUST be connected to the infrastructure earth.
2.4 Motor
Connections
The “Motor Connected” signal is available only at the motor connector, where it is
shorted to ground (see Table 7). This ensures that unprotected motor pins will not
be exposed to high voltage when the motor is not connected.
If more than one motor is connected to the AB5, use a suitable branch cable.
If the motor type or the number of motor elements is changed, consult Nanomotion
for the appropriate driver configuration changes that may be required.
NOTE:
The circuit will only close if a motor is connected to each
of the branches. The motors will not work if even one of
the branches of the cable is not connected to a motor.
