A.1.8 Feedback cables
The Baldor cables listed in Table 6 connect the ‘Encoder Out’ signal from a drive amplifier (for
example MicroFlex, FlexDrive
II
, Flex+Drive
II
or MintDrive
II
), to the encoder input connectors
on the NextMove PCI-2 breakout board. One cable is required for each servo axis. See
section 4.5.1.1 for the connector pin configuration.

Table 6 - Drive amplifier to NextMove PCI-2 feedback cables
If you are not using a Baldor cable, be sure to obtain a cable that is a shielded twisted pair
0.34 mm
2
(22 AWG) wire minimum, with an overall shield. Ideally, the cable should not
exceed 30.5 m (100 ft) in length. Maximum wire-to-wire or wire-to-shield capacitance is 50 pF
per 300 mm (1 ft) length, to a maximum of 5000 pF for 30.5 m (100 ft).
