Motor power cable consists windings and the protective earth conductors. In 3 phase AC servo motor there are four conductors and they should be connected to X1 terminal block according to the table below: | Motor power cable consists windings and the protective earth conductors.

Feedback device (in this case position sensor, usually encoder) need to be connected to SimuCUBE X16 input. X16 connector type on SimuCUBE is ''D-Sub 15 pin female with two pin rows'', so the mating part is ''D-Sub 15 pin male connector with two pin rows''. | Feedback device (in this case position sensor, usually encoder) need to be connected to SimuCUBE X16 input.
