MOTOR OVER TEMPERATURE SENSOR
It is strongly recommended that the motor over-temperature sensor is connected to the drive amplifier or
servo controller at all times in order to reduce the risk of damage to the motor due to excessive temperatures.
Protection is provided by three, positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistors embedded in the motor phases. As
the motor phase temperature approaches 100°C, the PTC thermistors exhibit a sharp increase in electrical resistance.
This change in resistance can be detected by circuitry within the drive amplifier or servo controller and used to reduce
or disable the output of the drive amplifier in order to protect the motor.

CABLE
The XTA has two separate cables providing connections for motor power and position sensor. The standard cables
supplied are flexible but are not intended for continuous flex or energy chain applications.
