Figure 1.6.2: 8 Lead Series Motor Configuration
8 L e a d M o t o r s
8 lead motors offer a high degree of flexibility to the system designer in that
they may be connected in series or parallel, thus satisfying a wide range of
applications.
S e r i e s C o n n e c t i o n
A series motor configuration would typically be used in applications where a
higher torque at low speeds is needed. Because this configuration has the most
inductance, the performance will start to degrade at higher speeds.
C o n n e c t i n g t h e M o t o r
The motor leads are connected to the following connector pins:
I B 4 6 2 H
Phase
Connector Pin
Phase B\ .......................................................................... 9, 10
Phase B .......................................................................... 11, 12
Phase A\ ......................................................................... 17, 18
Phase A .......................................................................... 19, 20
WARNING!
Do not connect or disconnect motor or power
leads with power applied!
NOTE:
The physical direction of the motor with respect to the
direction input will depend upon the connection of the motor
windings. To switch the direction of the motor with respect to
the direction input, switch the wires on either phase A or
phase B outputs.
