A.8.2 Feedback and Control Cable Assemblies
The Ocarina Evaluation Board features easy-to-use D-sub type connections for all Control and
Feedback cables. Below are instructions and diagrams describing how to assemble those
cables.
ƒ 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.
ƒ Use only a D-sub connector with a metal housing.
ƒ Attach the braid shield tightly to the metal housing of the D-type connector.
ƒ On the motor side connections, ground the shield to the motor chassis.
ƒ On controller side connections, follow the controller manufacturer’s
recommendations concerning the shield.
