3.5.5. Main Feedback Cable (Port J3)
The main feedback cable is used to transfer feedback data from the motor to the drive.
The Bassoon accepts the following as a main feedback mechanism:
• Incremental encoder only
• Incremental encoder with digital Hall sensors
• Digital Hall sensors only
• Incremental Analog (Sine/Cosine) encoder (option)
• Resolver (option)
• Tachometer and potentiometer
• Absolute encoder
Connect the main feedback cable from the motor to the J3 port on the front of the Bassoon,
using a 12-pin Molex plug.
Notes:
• Connect the drain wire to pin 4. If the cable has no drain wire, connect the shield to pin 4.
• Ground the shield to the motor chassis.
