Power and Communication Cables

Add-a-Motor Cable
OVERVIEW

CBLSMADD-xM (Animatics “Add-A-Motor” Cable)
Power and Communications Daisy Chain Cable for networking Power and
Communications to multiple Animatics SmartMotors.

MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS

CBLSMADD series is the main power and communications cable consisting of a
feed-thru 7W2 main motor connector split out to a single second motor 7W2 connector.
The cable is designed to allow ease of connection to multiple motors in a single
RS-232 serial daisy chain network. The Main Power Ground wire is of a larger
gauge to decrease noise emissions at the ground-plane level. The RS-232
Communications lines are internally shielded from the power lines.

Note: Due to gauge of the main power lines, it is not recommended to use the “Add-A-Motor” cables with the larger 34 frame
SmartMotors. If there is just one 34 frame SmartMotor in a system design, then it should be the first motor in the chain so as to minimize
voltage drop effects over the entire network.
