Connecting an electromagnetic brake lineard motor
If you are using a lineard motor with an electromagnetic brake, use an optional electromagnetic brake extension
cable (sold separately) to connect the lineard motor to the driver.
You also need a DC power supply of 24 VDC±5%, 0.3 A or more for the electromagnetic brake. Use the two lead wires
[60 mm (2.36 in.)] from the electromagnetic brake relay cable for connection to the DC power supply.
For the electromagnetic brake extension cable, refer to “12 Options (sold separately)” on p.43.
1. Connect the extension cable to the motor cable and plug the relay cable connector into the lineard motor
connector (CN2) on the driver.
2. Connect the orange/black lead wire of the extension cable (or the orange lead wire if the extension cable is a
flexible cable) to the +24 V terminal on the DC power supply.
3. Connect the gray lead wire of the relay cable to the GND terminal on the DC power supply.
4. Connect the varistor (supplied) in parallel between the +24 V terminal and GND terminal on the DC power supply.
The varistor has no polarity.

•
Applying a voltage over the specification will increase the temperature rise in the electromagnetic
brake and may damage the lineard motor. Conversely, insufficient voltage may prevent the brake
from releasing.
•
Be sure to connect the varistor (non-polarized) to protect the switch contacts and prevent noise.
•
The lead wires for the electromagnetic brake are polarized. Connecting the lead wires in reversed
polarity will not properly operate the electromagnetic brake.
•
Provide separate power supplies for the control input/output signals and the electromagnetic
brake.
•
Extension cables are available in two types: the standard type and the electromagnetic brake type.
When using an electromagnetic brake lineard motor, always use an optional extension cable of the
electromagnetic brake type (sold separately) for connection. The electromagnetic brake will not
function if the motor cable is connected directly to the driver.
