3.5.2. Connecting the Power Cables (J8)
The main power connector, which is located on the bottom of the Harmonica, includes the
following pins:
Pin Function Cable Pin Positions
VP+ Power input, positive Power
VP+ PR PE PE M1
M2 M3
PR Power input, common Power
PE Protective earth Power
AC
Motor
Cable
DC

PE Protective earth Motor Motor
M1 Motor phase Motor N/C
M2 Motor phase Motor Motor
M3 Motor phase Motor Motor
Note: When connecting several motors, all must
be wired in an identical manner.

3.5.2.1. Connecting the Motor Cable
Connect the motor power cable to the M1, M2, M3 and PE terminals of the main power
connector. The phase connection order is arbitrary because the Composer will establish the
proper commutation automatically during setup.
Notes for connecting the motor cables:
• For best immunity, it is highly recommended to use a shielded (not twisted) cable for the
motor connection. A 4-wire shielded cable should be used. The gauge is determined by the
actual current consumption of the motor.
• Connect the shield of the cable to the closest ground connection at the motor end.
• The fourth wire should be used for the ground connection between the motor and the
second PE terminal of the Harmonica.
• Be sure that the motor chassis is properly grounded.
