1.10.3 Motor Power Connections
The following table summarizes the motor power connections from the DK58113 to your power supply. This HV
connection is also the power connection from which the card logic power is derived using an on-board DC-DC
converter.
All connections are made through the Motor Power Connector, which is a Phoenix Contact 2-circuit terminal block
Connector.
The HV voltage should be the voltage at which the motor will be driven and must be in the range of 12V - 56V.
1.10.4 Communication Connections
While the DK58113 board can communicate using CANbus, SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface), and one of two serial
modes (RS-232 and RS-485), in this first-time installation we will set up the card for serial RS-232 communications.
To set up the board for operation in other communication modes, see
A serial port accessory cable is included with the DK58113. This serial cable (PMD p/n Cable-USB-DB9) should be
connected to the DK58113 board’s J5 Serial Connector, while the opposite end of the serial cable should be connected
to one of your computer’s USB ports.
1.11 Applying Power
Once you have made your motion hardware, communication, and power connections, hardware installation is complete
and the board is ready for operation. When power is applied, the DK58113’s green power LED should light. This LED
is locatable using
. If the LED does not light, recheck connections.
After power up no motor output will be applied. Therefore the motors should remain stationary. If the motors move
or jump, power down the board and check the motor and encoder connections. If anomalous behavior is still
observed, call PMD or your PMD representative for assistance.

(optional) shield connection
Shield connections to the motor are strongly recommended. Not connecting the shield signal may result in in-
creased EMI (electromagnetic interference), reduced immunity to ESD (electro static discharge), or electrical
noise resulting in motor operation failure.
