Motor Supply Connector (-DC Option)
Motor power is applied to the DC+ and 0V terminals of the Motor Supply connector.
The DC+ input is internally connected to a 5 A fuse.
Use twisted pair wiring to minimize radiated noise emissions (refer to Minimizing Noise for EMC/CE Compliance). For inrush limiting, you must power up control and motor supply simultaneously.
Refer to Fuse Specifications for the internal fuse part numbers.
WARNING: Verify that all ground connections are installed correctly before you apply power to the iXA4/XA4.
