5 WIRING PROCEDURE
The following is a listing of the hardware components used in this experiment:
1. Power Amplifier: Quanser VoltPAQ-X2, 2x VoltPAQ-X1, or equivalent.
2. Data Acquisition Device: Q1-cRIO, Q2-USB, Q8-USB, QPID/QPIDe. NI DAQ Device, or equivalent.
3. Rotary Servo Plant: Quanser SRV02-ET.
4. Four-bar linkage module: Quanser 2 DOF Robot module.
See the references listed in Section 8 for more information on these components. The required cables are described
in Section 5.1 and the procedure to connect the above components is given in Section 5.2.
Caution: When Using the Quanser VoltPAQ power amplifier, make sure set the Gain to 1!
5.1 Cable Nomenclature
Table 5.1, below, provides a description of the standard cables used in the wiring of the SRV02 and 2 DOF Robot
system.
Cable
(a) RCA Cable
(b) Motor Cable
(c) Encoder Cable

Type
Description
2xRCA to 2xRCA
This cable connects an analog output of the
data acquisition (DAQ) device to the power
module for proper power amplification.
4-pin-DIN to 6-pin-
This cable connects the output of the power
DIN
module, after amplification, to the desired DC
motor on the servo.
5-pin-stereo-DIN to
This cable carries the encoder signals be-
5-pin-stereo-DIN
tween an encoder connector and the data
acquisition (DAQ) device (to the encoder
counter). Namely, these signals are: +5 VDC
power supply, ground, channel A, and chan-
nel B
