Connecting the Motor to the MB-10

The following procedure details the sequence of steps that must be completed to connect
the servo motor to the MB-10. Make sure that the system power is turned off before
attaching any cables.

Motor Cable Leads

Motors have cable leads with the following plugs: an encoder plug, a motor plug, and a
brake plug for those motors with brakes. See the "Adept MB-10 Amps" chapter in the
Adept Python Linear Modules User's Guide

Attaching the Encoder and Battery Cables

Attach the encoder cable from the servo motor to the encoder connector on the MB-10 (see
Figure 2-6). Tighten the captive screws to secure the encoder connector.
In addition to an encoder cable, each motor is shipped with a battery and a battery
harness. Use the velcro strap provided on the back of the battery to attach the battery to
the motor.
NOTE: The battery harness must be directly connected to the motor in
order for the battery to power the encoder.
AC Power
Connectors
NOTE: Some applications may require that the MB-10 be mounted
remotely from the motor. For these applications the user should purchase
Adept's optional high-flex extension cables. We recommended that the
extension cables not exceed four meters (13.1 feet) in length. See
"Amp-to-Motor Cable Kits" on page 32
