5.1 Cable Nomenclature

The cables used to connect the Quanser AMPAQ-PWM to a Quanser DAQ and experiment are shown in Table 5.1.
Depending on your configuration, not all these cables are necessary.
Cable
(a) RCA Cable
(b) Motor Cable
(c) E-Stop
(d) From Device Cable
(e) Encoder Cable
Type Description
2xRCA to 2xRCA RCA-to-RCA cables connect the AMPAQ-PWM Ampli-
fier Command and Current Sense connectors to the
DAQ. RCA-to-RCA cables are also used to connect the
S1, S2, S3, and S4 Analog Sensor outputs to the DAQ.
Three pairs are supplied.
4-pin-Amphenol This cable connects the output of the AMPAQ-PWM to
to 4-socket- the desired load.
Amphenol
E-Stop The E-Stop must be connected to the AMPAQ-PWM for
proper operation. The E-Stop button locks in the dis-
abled position when pressed. To release the E-Stop,
twist the red button clockwise.
DB15 to DB15 This cable connects the AMPAQ-PWM From Device
connector to the Shake Table II circuit board. It car-
ries the three limit switch signals, the motor Hall effect
signals, and the motor encoder signals. It also supplies
the DC power required by the sensors.
5-pin-stereo-DIN to This cable carries the encoder signals between the
5-pin-stereo-DIN AMPAQ-PWM Encoder connector and the DAQ. These
signals are: +5 VDC power supply, ground, channel A,
and channel B. (Channel Z is optional.)
