Chapter 3 Connection Details & Specifications

3.1 Pin Assignments

Pin assignments for the male D-Type connector on the motor flying lead are described below..

Fig. 3.1   Output Connector

3.2 Description of connections

Limit Ground

: a common ground for both the forward and reverse limit switches.

CCW Limit

: the counter clockwise (reverse) limit prevents over driving of the actuator at its minimum extension. 

CW Limit

: the clockwise (forward) limit prevents over driving of the actuator at its full extension.

When using a third party controller, the inputs must be connected via a 10 k pull up resistor as shown below. When either

switch operates, the associated input is pulled to ground and the TTL buffers switch.

Fig. 3.2   ZST200 Limit Switch Circuit

Motor Phases

: supplies 15 VDC 1A to the motor of the actuator.
