6.9. Connecting the Cables
Stage interconnect cables are not in the scope of delivery of the A-62x series stage. However, PI offers several
standard cable sets that can be used, depending on the motion controller being used. Contact PI for a quote.
See Section 10.7 for connector pin assignments.
Only use the interconnect cables that have been designed for the combination of stage and
controller being used. Connection using the wrong cable may result in damage to the stage and
the controller.
To minimize the possibility of electrical shock and bodily injury or death, disconnect all electrical
power prior to making any electrical connections.
To minimize the possibility of electrical shock and bodily injury or death when any electrical
circuit is in use, ensure that no person comes in contact with the circuitry when the stage is
connected to a power source.
To minimize the possibility of bodily injury or death, disconnect all electrical power prior to
making any mechanical adjustments.
1. Connect the stage cables for the motor and encoder to the connectors on the end plate of the A-62x stage.
2. Tighten the jack screws with a flat head screwdriver to secure the cables. Do not overtighten the screws.
Figure 9 - Stage Electrical Cable Connectors
On the models A-621 and A-623, the electrical connectors are external to the stage body, as shown on the left
photo above. Care should be taken to properly secure the connectors after installation so they do not move and
damage the cables or stage body.
