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''.

In the table above, A, B, and C indicate the quadrature encoder differential signals. C channel is often also denoted as Z, Index or IDX. Refer your motor manufacturer's data sheet/specifications to identify wire colors for encoder signals. Pay extra attention to 5V and GND wiring as miswiring these may cause permanent damage to the encoder.
