Encoder Pinout
The encoder connections use an HD-15 connector. For an Applied Motion A, N or M series
motor, you’ll want to use one of our BLUENC cables. For J-Series motors, use 3004-301-3M
and 3004-307-3M cables (one of each).
If you are using another supplier’s motor, you’ll have to make your own cable according to
the pinout below. See the
Mating Connectors
section for mating connector information. When
connecting the Encoder and Hall sensors use high quality shielded cables. Connect cable
shield to HD-15 connector housing.
The BLuAC5 servo drive is designed for “Differential” inputs on both the encoder signals and
hall sensors. It is highly recommended that encoders with “Differential Line Drivers” be used
to provide maximum noise immunity. Using the BLUENC cable with AMP servo motors pro-
vides the best opportunity for minimizing connection problems.
