Motor power
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 feedback device
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.
Case A: pre-made encoder cable
If you have a motor that comes with pre-made encoder cable with SimuCUBE, IONI or ARGON compatible connector, then simply plug this connector to SimuCUBE X16.
Case B: make encoder connection
If motor encoder cable comes with bare wire ends, or with incompatible connector, then soldering a D-Sub connector with SimuCUBE pin-out is necessary.
