NI SMD-7613/7614/7615/7616 User Manual
Motor Wiring Recommendations
This section explains how to connect motors to the NI SMD-761x. Refer to your motor
documentation for any special considerations that may affect your configuration.
Maintain at least 2 in. separation between the power supply cable and input lines or encoder
feedback. All power supply cables should be properly shielded, and the shield grounded at the
power supply. Signal cables should be shielded, and grounded as close as possible to the signal
source.
Caution
Never connect or disconnect the motor while the system is powered on.
Note
Ensure any shield or grounding strap on the motor is connected to the chassis
ground screw located near the motor/power connector.
