The following instructions are a continuation of the 5-Minute QuickStart. This section
explains controller wiring, drive configuration, drive mounting, motor mounting, SIB
mounting and load coupling.
Signal Ground
Almost all signals between the drive and the controller are referenced to signal ground.
Without this reference, the drive and the controller would not be able to transmit signals to
each other. To ensure that the signals between the drive and the controller are referenced
to the same potential, the signal grounds on the controller and the drive must be connected
together. This is especially important for:
•
Single ended command signals
•
Inhibit line
•
Other inputs and outputs.
You will need to identify the signal ground on your controller and connect it to the signal
ground on the drive. For your convenience, the Signal Ground is accessible at two locations
on the SIB. However, to avoid ground loops there should only be one connection between
the drive signal ground and the controller signal ground. Don’t add a connection if there is
already continuity between the two grounds.

C3-2 (SGND)
Signal Ground
C3-7 (Tach/GND)
Command Signal
Command signal and mode selection are dictated by the capabilities of your controller and
the desired operation of your system. /- 10V command signals are suited for
torque and velocity modes

More Information on Mode Selection
Drive modes can be separated into three basic categories: Torque, Velocity and Position.
The name of the mode describes what servo loops are being closed in the drive. They don’t
describe the end-result of the operation. For example, a drive in Torque mode can still be
