I have seen several different wiring diagrams for the P5 motors, but now as I sit with mine in front of me, I'm trying to confirm what each is for.
What I have are two cables.
The forward one has 6 leads:
Red Motor Phase U
White Motor Phase V
Black Motor Phase W
Green/Yellow Ground
and
2 thinner Yellow wires BRAKE (confirmed by applying power...15VDC was able to release the brake)
The encoder cable has 15 leads:
blue/black U out (CS)
brown/black u out (CS)
green/black V out (CS)
purple/black v out (CS)
red/black W out (CS)
yellow/black w out (CS)
blue A out (EN)
brown a out (EN)
green B out (EN)
purple b out (EN)
white C out (EN)
yellow c out (EN)
red DC +5v
black GND
and a heavy silver braid CASE GND
The above wire mapping is from a .pdf file that contains a company drawing of the motors (except for the pair of yellow brake wires which are not shown in the drawing)
I'm guessing that (EN) means "Encoder", but what is (CS)?
And if this thing is supplying quadrature encoded signaling, why so many wires? I expected just four; ( - , A, B, + ) What do all of these wires provide?
Guess I have a lot to learn!
