Series 315 Load Frame Installation 23
Connecting Cables
Your controller manual should have cabling information about the
connections described in this section. Most controller manuals provide the
signal pinouts of the connector and assembly numbers for standard MTS
cables.
Note Many of the cables are connected to optional equipment. The following
paragraphs list the most common connections. The exact connector
locations vary quite a bit among the various models of the load frame.
Prerequisite You must have either a cable assembly drawing of your test system, or you must
know the system controller well enough to determine each type of cable connection.
Typical cable
connections
• The force transducer is connected to a DC conditioner in the controller.
• The ground connection is located on the back of the control panel. This is
usually connected to a chassis ground on a console or the controller chassis.
• The load frame control panel is connected to the controller chassis. It contains
the emergency stop signal.
• The servovalve is connected to a valve driver in the controller.
• The displacement sensor (also called an linear variable displacement transducer
or LVDT) is connected to an AC conditioner in the controller.
