Step 4: Connecting the Motor
Motor Connector
The motor connector is shown in figure 5.6. The two Interlock termi-
nals are a safety feature. When these two terminals are not connected,
the drive will not power the motor outputs, and the drive turns on the
Motor Fault LED and the Fault Output. For normal operation, these
two terminals must be connected together with a short wire.
The two center tap pins, A CTAP and B CATP, are there for wiring con-
venience only. They are electrically isolated from the rest of the drive
and are not used to power the motor. The
EARTH GND
pin is for the
shields of the motor cable. This pin is directly connected to the ground-
ing lug of the SD17063.
When powered, the motor connector represents a shock
hazard because it has 170 Vdc present on its terminals.
A rubber boot that is included with the connector must
be installed but is not shown in the following figures for clarity. When installing the motor
cable, slide the rubber boot onto the cable before wiring the connector. When you’re sure the
wiring is correct, slide the boot over the connector to cover the screw heads.
1) Always remove power from the SD17063 before connecting or disconnecting the
motor.
2) Never connect the motor leads to ground or to a power supply.
3) Always verify that the motor case is connected to the cable shields before operation
4) Always connect the cable shield to the Earth Ground terminal of the SD17063’s Motor
Connector.
SM42 Wiring
The SM42 motors are eight lead motors, but only four wires are brought back to the SD17063. A terminal
block, located underneath the back cover of the motor, is used to wire the motor in series or parallel. With
these connections made at the motor, you only need to bring the ±A phase and ±B phase connections to the
drive. Once you make the terminal block connections, refer to figure 5.7 Four Lead Motor Connection on
the following page to connect the SM42 to the SD17063.
To access the wiring terminals, remove the back cover of the SM42. Table 5.1 below shows how to connect
the terminals to wire the motor in series or parallel. Connections must be made with 14 AWG wire or larger.
Table 5.1 SM42 Terminal Connections
You must also connect the cable shields to the body of the SM42. The grounding screw is located behind the
back cover on the body of the motor, just below the conduit fitting. The grounding screw is neither of the
ones used to attach the plastic terminal block to the motor.
