A.1 Introduction
A variety of accessories are available to expand the capabilities of the NextMove ESB-2.
A.1.1 Feedback cables
The Baldor cables listed in Table 3 connect the ‘Encoder Out’ signal from a drive amplifier
(for example MicroFlex, FlexDrive
II
, Flex+Drive
II
, or MintDrive
II
) to the ‘ENC 0’ - ‘ENC 4’
encoder input connectors on the NextMove ESB-2. One cable is required for each servo
axis. See section 4.4.3 for the connector pin configuration.
If you are not using a Baldor cable, be sure to obtain a cable that is a shielded twisted pair
0.34 mm
2
(22 AWG) wire minimum, with an overall shield. Ideally, the cable should not
exceed 30.5 m (100 ft) in length. Maximum wire-to-wire or wire-to-shield capacitance is
50 pF per 300 mm (1 ft) length, to a maximum of 5000 pF for 30.5 m (100 ft).
