    1. Aerotech phasing configuration expects ØC to be the lead signal (in time), ØB to follow it, and ØA to follow ØB. This means that whichever signal has its sine wave peak farthest to the left should be designated as the ØC signal.

  • Page 37: Figure 2-8: Hall Phasing With Oscilloscope

    After the motor leads have been tested, the next step is to determine the phase of the Hall signals. The required (by an Aerotech system) relationship between motor and Hall leads is that the peak of a motor lead signal should correspond to the low voltage phase of the Hall signal (as shown in Figure 2-8).

  • Page 38: Figure 2-9: Brushless Motor Phasing Goal

    With the designations of the motor and Hall leads of a third party motor determined, the motor can now be connected to an Aerotech system. Connect motor lead A to motor connector A, motor lead B to motor connector B, and motor lead C to motor connector C. Connect Hall lead A to Pin 10 of the feedback connector.
