Options
Different motors and actuators have various options that can be
selected. Some options such as blowers and covers, for example,
affect sizing and have been selected in the sizing process.
Step 2

selected during sizing.
Step 3
Axis Module/Drive/IAM
Check for connector kit.
Step 4
Motor/actuator power cable
Check non-flex or continuous-flex cable and cable length options. The length
selected for the power cable is used for the other cables, unless the lengths are
individually changed.
Step 5
Motor/actuator feedback cable Check non-flex or continuous-flex cable, cable length, and flying-lead or connector
at drive-end options.
Step 6
Motor/actuator brake cable
Check non-flex or continuous-flex cable and cable length options. For most motors,
separate brake cable is not required because brake wires are included in the power
cable.
Step 7
Resistive brake module Resistive Brake Module for the application is selected in the Axis Stop tab on page
250 and cannot be changed here.
Step 8
Resistive brake module cables
Specify cable AWG size and cable length options.
