Configure and Start Up the LDC-Series Linear
Motor
Introduction This section covers the set up and connection verification of a linear motor with
either Kinetix 6000, Kinetix 6500/6200, Kinetix 2000, or Ultra3000 drives.
Before You Begin This chapter assumes you have wired your linear motor and Allen-Bradley drive
as shown in wiring diagrams in
Appendix A starting on page 61 .
Motor Direction Defined
Positive motion is dependent on encoder orientation, encoder wiring, and coil or
magnet track motion.
Most linear encoders are attached to the motor coil with the encoder cable facing
the same direction as the motor coil cable.
Wire the linear encoder such that the position feedback is positive (phase A+
leads phase B+) when the motor is moving in the positive direction.

IMPORTANT It is important that the brushless linear motor coil, Hall sensor, and the
linear encoder be wired correctly for proper drive commutation and servo
operation to get positive motion when commutated.
