6.1.2 Feedback Cable Port A and Port B Connector
1. On the motor side connections, ground the shield to the motor chassis.
2. At least One COMRET (Common Return) must be connected to the PE.
Implement the following steps to connect the COMRET to the PE:
a. At the drive, connect the feedback drain wire to one of the COMRET terminals in the
D-Type feedback connector (Figure 8).
b. At the motor, connect the feedback cable drain wire to the GND motor chassis
terminal of the feedback connector.
The drawings below display two earth connections. Only one of the Earth connections
described below is mandatory.
Earthing Type 1 is for encoders where the earth connection consists of the braid of the
shielded cable being connected to Earth via the earthed chassis earthing.
Earthing Type 2 is for encoders where the earth connection consists of earthing the Drain
Wire to a device with a terminal internally connected to earth (PE) in the connector.
