Motor connectors
DC motor connection card termination
Each DC motor connection card presents a 7W2 connector for connection of a CMM motor to the SPA2-2, as shown below:
![SPA2-2 7W2 connector](/cmmsupport/knowledgebase/media/img/gen/e23b520ab891414ab782bdcf97d23228.jpg)
There are seven connections available on this connector. The table shows the connections and default polarity configurations for all pins.
Connector pin | Function |
---|---|
A1 | +ve motor connection (default) |
A2 | -ve motor connection (default) |
1 | +ve tacho input (default) |
2 | -ve tacho input (default) |
3 | Ground reference |
4 | -ve tacho input (linked to pin 2) |
5 | Ground reference |
Shell | Screen |
NOTE: The motor and tacho polarities on this connector are software configured during the SPA2-2 installation process.
WARNING: If the SPA2-2 is being integrated on a dual axes DCC driven machine it is essential that the motor polarities on the dual axes are the same.
