.10.7 Connecting the Motor Power
Connect the motor power cable to the M1, M2 and M3 terminals of the main power connector,
and the fourth wire to the PE (Protective Earth). The phase connection order is arbitrary
because the Composer will establish the proper commutation automatically during setup. If
several motors/drive combinations are designed to operate in an identical manner, we
recommend downloading the program into all the drives and connecting them in the same
way.
Notes for connecting the motor cables:
 For best noise immunity, it is highly recommended to use a shielded (not
twisted) cable for the motor connection, such as a 4-wire shielded cable. The
gauge is determined by the actual current consumption of the motor.
 Connect the shield of the cable to the closest ground connection at the motor
end.

.10.8 Connecting the Main Power to the Guitar
Connect the main power supply cable to the VPW+ and PR terminals of the main power
connector.
Power to the Guitar is provided by a 12 ~ 195 VDC source. A “smart” control-supply
algorithm enables the Guitar to operate with a power supply only, with no need for an
auxiliary 24 V supply. If backup functionality is required for storing control parameters in
case of power-outs, an external 24 VDC power supply can be connected, providing
maximum flexibility and optional backup functionality when needed.
Notes for connecting the DC power supply:
 The source of the 12 ~ 195 VDC Main Power Supply must be isolated.
 For best noise immunity, it is highly recommended to use twisted and
shielded cables for the DC power supply cable, such as a 3-wire shielded
cable. The gauge is determined by the actual current consumption of the
motor.
 Connect the cable shield to the closest ground connection near the power
supply.
