4.9. Feedback
The Gold Drum HV (High Voltage) has two configurable motion sensor input ports; Port A and
port B, and one emulated buffered output port; port C. Motion sensors from the controlled
motor and from other sources can be connected to any of the available inputs on either port A
or B. Software configuration designates each input a role, e.g., the incremental encoder on port
B is the controlled motor position feedback, the Hall sensors on port A are commutation
feedback, and the incremental encoder on port A is follower input.
For more information about sensors and their use refer to the Gold Line Software Manual.
The Gold Drum HV (High Voltage) features easy-to-use D-Sub type connections for all Control
and Feedback cables. Instructions and diagrams describing how to assemble those cables are
presented below.
1.
Use 24, 26 or 28 AWG twisted-pair shielded cables (24 AWG cable is recommended). For
best results, the shield should have aluminum foil covered by copper braid.
6.
Use only a D-Sub connector with a metal housing.
7.
Ideally, solder the drain wire to the connector body as shown in Figure 19.
However, the shield may also be attached without soldering, as long as the braid shield is in
tight contact with the metal housing of the D-type connector.
8.
On the motor side connections, ground the shield to the motor chassis.
9.
On controller side connections, follow the controller manufacturer’s recommendations
concerning the shield.

Note:
All D-Sub type connectors, used with the Gold Drum HV (High Voltage), should be
assembled in this way.
