in a positioning application if the external controller closes the position loop. In fact, most
high performance positioning systems use a drive in torque mode with the controller closing
the velocity and position loops.
The correct mode is determined by the requirements of the controller. Some controllers
require that the drive be in torque mode. Other controllers require that the drive be in
velocity mode. Check the documentation on your controller or contact the manufacturer of
your controller to determine the correct mode for your drive.
Once the command signal and mode have been selected, connect the controller to the
signals as indicated in the above tables. The proper gains and command settings must also
be configured. This will be explained later in the configuration section.
Drive Inhibit (recommended)
The inhibit line is used to turn off power to the motor while the drive is still powered on.
Sometimes this is necessary if power to the motor needs to be removed quickly or if the
user needs to manually move the load in a freewheeling condition. If your controller has an
inhibit function then we highly recommend that you use it.

Inhibit C3-11 Inhibit
Note: The inhibit input is configured to disable the drive when pulled low (active low).
Drive Mounting
Mounting Dimensions can be found in the drive datasheet in the Appendix.
The drive can be mounted flat against the base plate or along the spine.
Mounting the drive flat on the base plate against a large thermally conductive surface for
cooling will provide the most natural heat dissipation for the drive. A metal back plane in a
cabinet on the machine often makes a good surface.
Drives mounted on the spine can be mounted next to each other. Maintain a minimum
separation of 1 inch between drives to provide adequate convection cooling.
Note: Additional cooling may be necessary to dissipate the heat generated by the drive
depending on ambient temperatures, duty cycle and natural ventilation.
Motor Mounting
Mounting Dimensions can be found in the motor datasheet in the Appendix.
The mounting surface must be stiff enough so it does not deflect when radial loads are
applied to the motor shaft. The mounting surface should also have good thermal
conductivity, especially if peak performance is demanded of the motor.
