Motor Connections
The Soloist can be integrated into a system using three basic configurations: DC brush
(torque mode), brushless, and stepper motors.
2.7.1 DC Brush Motor Connections in Torque Mode
When you connect a DC brush motor in torque mode, use the configuration shown in
Figure 2-8. Note: No connection is made to the Soloist
Ø
B terminal, as shown in Figure
2-8.

2.7.1.1 DC Brush Motor Phasing
If you are using an Aerotech motor and cabling, no motor phasing is required.
A DC brush motor is phased correctly when a positive motion command causes clockwise
(CW) motor rotation (as viewed when looking at the motor from the front mounting
flange. See previous illustration.). The PosScaleFactor parameter must be set to a positive
value. Motor phasing is unrelated to the direction of motion commanded from within a
user task. Instead, it is determined solely by which motor lead is connected to the
Ø
A and
Ø
C motor terminals. After correctly phasing the motor, you can reverse the motor
direction when commanding a positive move from a user task by negating the sign of the
PosScaleFactor parameter.
To determine which motor lead is connected to the
Ø
A and
Ø
C motor terminals, connect
a voltmeter to the motor leads of an un-powered motor. Rotate the motor CW by hand.
Swap the voltmeter connections to the motor until the voltmeter indicates a positive
voltage. The motor lead now connected to the positive lead of the voltmeter, is the +
motor lead (as indicated in the previous figure) and must be connected to the
Ø
A motor
terminal. The other motor lead is connected to the
Ø
C motor terminal.
