Grounding and shielding – Trio Motion Technology MC403 User Manual
Page 7

Ensure that:
1. The shield screw is grounded
as close to the MC403(-Z) as
possible.
2. 0V, V- and E- connections are
NOT used for terminating
screens.
3. Pin 5 of Encoder/Stepper
plug is connected to 0V on
drive.
4. Encoder cable screen is
clamped to 9 way D shell.
5. The MC403(-Z) 24V supply has
common 0V with the drive(s).
When wiring MC403(-Z)
Stepper outputs to a
differential input stepper
drive, use the 0V and shield
connections shown for the
encoder. The stepper drive
must have its common 0V
connected to the MC403(-Z)
24V return. (24V -)
