It is recommended that the power and signal cables for the ACS Drive be routed as far apart as possible to minimize system noise. NOTE! The standard cables from Tolomatic are not flex rated and have a minimum bend radius of 3.75 inches. Any repeated flexing or excessive bending can result in broken conductors and intermittent faults.

Product Overview 1.1 the ACS Stepper drive/Controller for Actuator Control Solutions Tolomatic’s ACS Drive/Controller is a stepper drive and controller intended for use with electric actuators. Tolomatic's Motion Interface software allows the user to select the compatible Tolomatic electric linear actuator of choice. The software automatically sets most of the necessary parameters to create the desired motion of the selected actuator reducing setup and programming time.
I/O cable with drive mating connector to flying leads. Cables are available in either 3-meter or 5-meter lengths. Starter Kit Tolomatic offers a Starter Kit (Part No. 3604- 9044) for use with optional USB computer connections. The kit includes: USB to RS-232 converter...

3. Wire input and output signals to the desired logic device. See Section 5: Connections and Cables. 4. Attach motor and encoder cables. 5. Attach serial programming cable and install the Tolomatic Motion Interface software. 6. Configure ACS Drive. 7. Program the logic device.
Connections & Cables 5.1 Connections and Cables Overview All cables for the ACS Drive can be ordered through Tolomatic with the exception of the power supply. When using cables other than those provided by Tolomatic, reference the cable mating connector style to ensure the proper cabling is supplied.
Table 5-6: I/O Cable and Connector Parts 5.5 Input Power Connection The input power is connected via pins on the drive with customer supplied cabling. CAUTION! The input power mating connector is supplied by Tolomatic. Reversing polarity of the input power will damage the actuator drive electronics.
