*** We have released a new version of simDrive 400W (v2). It differs from the previous version. The new version has one DB37 socket divided into two smaller sockets. - DB25 socket for control signal (Step/Dir, Servo Alarm, Servo Reset and Servo On) - DB15 socket for encoder signals and Hall sensors.

New arrangement of signals in DB15 socket The rest of the guide explains how to make connections of encoder and power cables.
Encoder cable The encoder cable (incl.) doesn’t require any modifications as it was equipped with a DB15 plug compatible with DB15 (CN2) socket of simDrive. If you need to rearrange the original cable (extension or repair) here you will find a scheme of wires in the DB15 plug.

Pay attention to pin 15 of the DB15 plug of encoder cable - it was described as „GND SHIELD” - it is special GND to which you should connect encoder cable shield. If a machine is equipped with a panel with connectors or you have to build extension of encoder cable, you should lead shield of the cable through the pin and not through the metal housing.
Control signals cable To connect control signals wires (Step/Dir, Servo Alarm, Servo Reset, Servo On and CAN bus) you can use male DB25 plug (incl.). Recommended connection in accordance to factory configuration of simDrives:...

For easier and faster installation of a simDrive 400W V2 servo drive you can use a DB25 connector (pin numbers of the green terminals are consistent with pin numbers of the DB25 socket). The connector is available in CS-Lab's online store ("Drives & Motors").
Power cable Motor power phases wires The power cable (incl.) doesn’t require any modifications as it was equipped with a proper plug compatible with simDrive. Attention : If you use cables longer than 5 meters you should use shielded wire for servo motors powering. Shield of the cable should be connected to PE only from a simDrive side.
PE protective conductor It is very important to connect PE wire of a power cable correctly. Look at the picture below to see how to route the PE wires for main control components of a machine. Pay attention to PE protective conductor wire of a simDrive which can be connected to 325 VDC Power supply - Power Module 325VDC/ 2000VA (by CS-Lab) or to main PE connector.
