Using DC Brushed Motors
DC Brushed motors can be used with the servo drive simply by connecting the motor and
encoder to the drive as show below and configuring the drive using the Si Programmer™ con-
figuration tool.
Before connecting the Brushed motor to the servo drive you need to determine the motor’s
polarity. That is, we need to know which wire is positive and which is negative. When applying
DC power to the motor it needs to spin clockwise. After determining this, the wire connected
to the positive of the DC power should be labeled at such.
Connecting the wires as shown. Positive to “A” phase and negative to “B” phase.
Connect the motor’s encoder as explained earlier in this manual.
Using Si Programmer™, select “Brush Motor” in the “Motor - Encoder” tab. Remember to
set the counts per turn in the “Encoder” setting. If the encoder is “Single Ended” be sure and
check the box.
