J Multiple Axis Connections
Only last axis SERVOPACK on the cable. Short 4CN pins 1 and 4, and insert a termination resis-
tor. Then, short 4CN pins 3 and 5, and ground the shield to the frame ground. Also, insert a ter-
mination resistor (120 Ω) and ground the shield to the frame ground at the host controller.
