Axes are connected to the D-shell connectors marked J1, J2, and J3 (single
axis 9/230 processors only have a J1 connector). Axes must be connected
consecutively with no empty connections between axes. For example, an
axis may not be connected to connector J3 unless both J1 and J2 are used.
If a spindle with feedback is configured the spindle must be connected to
the first available D-Shell connector after the last connector used by a
linear or rotary axis. If you have a closed loop axis on a single axis 9/230
control you can not connect a spindle with position feedback.
ATTENTION: Do not insert the plug-type ANALOG OUT
terminal block (TB3) into an encoder termination panel DRIVE
terminal block or vice versa. Although these plugs will fit
together, pin assignments are different. Switching these
connections without rewiring the plug-type terminal block may
cause damage to equipment.
Figure 3A.8 and Figure 3A.9 show typical analog servo drive
configurations for a mill and a lathe. For specific details on configuring
axes, axis positioning loops, and axis port selection, refer to the 9/Series
CNC 9/230, 9/260, and 9/290 AMP Reference Manual, publication
8520-6.4.
