Feedback Connector X41 (SFA, accessory)

SFA (Smart Feedback Adapter) converts conventional feedback signals to a 2-wire serial signal. SFA can be laid into the cable duct or may be mounted to a DIN rail using a standard DIN rail clip.

SFA provides a 15 pole HD Sub-D female connector X41 to the system for connection of a Kollmorgen motor feedback cable (see Kollmorgen 2G Cable Guide). Dimensions (LxWxD): 88.6 x 55.6 x 21.2 (28.6 with rail clip). Order codes see regional Accessories Manual.

  • Sub-D high density 15 pin, female
  • 1 m shielded cable with 3 flying leads for connection to X1 or X2 or X5
  • The cable shield is connected by using shield wire to X5/1 or with cable ties to the X1/X2 shield plates.
  • Connected feedback must be set in WorkBench.
  • Only use Kollmorgen feedback cables. The cable shield must be grounded on the end near the SFA.
  • SFA models with a metal DIN clip must be mounted inside a cabinet.
  • Input for Electronic Gearing, (see "Gearing")
  • Output for encoder emulation (EXX3/EXX4), (see "Output - Emulated Encoder Output (EEO)") - Only available on "-EXX" (Encoder) models
  • Master-Slave (see "Master-Slave control")

Connect the flying leads of the SFA cable to X1 (FB1, EXX3) or X2 (FB2, EXX4) or X5 (FB2, EXX4):
