MOTOR WIRING
The following sections describe procedures to connect the controller to drives and motors and
test the connections.
CAUTION
DO NOT CONNECT THE MOTOR SHAFT TO THE MECHANISM DURING
TESTING AND INITIAL TUNING!
6.1 Connection Accessories
MEI offers screw terminal connection blocks such as the STC-20, STC-26, STC-50 and STC-
D50 which can be used (and are recommended) to provide convenient screw-terminal
connections to the signals. The STC modules convert the ribbon cable signals into screw
terminal connections for quick and easy connections. STC's mount on a standard DIN rail.
In addition, MEI cables are available to provide a clean and reliable interface to the STC
modules.
The following are suggested accessory configurations:
For DSPpro-VME:
STC-20
Connection module for analog input lines, one required per board
STC-26
Connection module for motor axes, one required for two motor axes
STC-50
Connection module for I/O lines, one required for each I/O header
CBL-20
Analog Input ribbon cable, one required per board
CBL-26
Motor axis ribbon cable, one required for every two axes
CBL-50
I/O ribbon cable, one required for each I/O header
For DSPpro-Serial:
STC-D50
Connection module for motor axes and I/O lines, one for each two axes, and one
required for I/O
CBL-D50
Cable for motor axes and I/O lines, one for each two axes, and one required for I/O
All cables are electrically tested for continuity at the factory and are marked with a blue dot to
indicate that they have passed.
