Connecting the Power Supply
If you need information about choosing a power supply, please read Choosing a Power Supply
located elsewhere in this manual.
If you plan to use a regulated power supply you may encounter a problem with regeneration. If you
rapidly decelerate a load from a high speed, much of the kinetic energy of that load is transferred
back to the power supply. This can trip the overvoltage protection of a switching power supply,
causing it to shut down. We offer two “regeneration clamps” that can solve this problem: the
RC010 and RC050. If in doubt, buy an RC050 for your first installation. If the “regen” LED on the
RC050 never flashes, you don’t need the clamp.
Connect the motor power supply "+" terminal to the driver terminal labeled "VDC". Connect power
supply "-" to the drive terminal labeled "GND". Use 18 or 20 gauge wire.
Be careful not to reverse the wires. Reverse connection will destroy your driver,
void your warranty and generally wreck your day.
