Making connections to CT6800HP

[satje]

Hi!

In my new projector i need to make cables connecting the driver and CT6800HP galvo's.
They have a 10pin header connection.

Is it allowed to use a flatcable for connection between driver and galvo, or MUST i use a special shielded cable?

Your input is welcome

Thanks!

No one here who can tell me more?

Pianoman has a copy of the cable schematic. I did not get a chance to copy it on my last visit with him. Perhaps you can PM him and get a scan.

Thanks!
But i know the pinouts

The only thing i want to know if i can use flatcable (short lead) or do i need something else?

The cambridge schematic I'm refering to has a pair of shields. That is why I am saying get it. The detail I cannot remember is the grounding at the scanner end.

email/pm pianoman and get how to hookup the shields. NO, you are NOT supposed to use ribbon on Cam Techs..

Okay, I just ringed a cable to check it for ya...

IDC Pin 1 - DB9 Pin 4
IDC Pin 2 - DB9 Pin 9
IDC Pin 3 - DB9 Pin 5
IDC Pin 5 - DB9 Pin 7 (Shield for IDC Pin 1,2,3,and 6)
IDC Pin 6 - DB9 Pin 8

In a seperate cable we have two conductors...

IDC Pin 9 - DB9 Pin 6
IDC Pin 10 - DB9 Pin 1

This will help for pin identification.....

Thanks!


So i guess the cable has to be shielded.
What is the best wire diameter to use for the motor drive?

Size it for four amp peak currents.

Thanks Steve!

Now on with my quest to find the right connectors.

If I remember correctly, computer chassis use 10 pin IDC for USB connections. You can probably steal these in a pinch.
