Module outputs connect to a separate 2-conductor output terminal
block located beneath the input terminal block.

Important:
Ground the shield of the amplifier
output cable to a 0V connection in the amplifier
.
Do not connect the shield to earth ground.
Note: Follow manufacturer recommendations for shielding the output
cables of the proportional amplifier. Typically, pulse-width modulated
outputs radiate electrical noise originating from the +24V dc power
supply, so isolate the shields of the amplifier output cable to a 0V dc
connection inside the proportional amplifier.
You have a choice of three configurations to match your hydraulics:
• proportional amplifier with ramp and proportional valve
• servo amplifier with ramp and variable-volume pump
• Allen-Bradley 1305 Drive and hydraulic pump
You may use either of the following output voltage ranges:
• 0-10V dc for the Allen-Bradley 1305 Drive or variable-volume pump
• –10 to +10V dc for the proportional amplifier and proportional valve
Important: Signals in this type of control system are very susceptible
to radiated electrical noise. The module is designed to set the loss-of-
sensor bit I:e.0/8 and the LDT-error bit I:e.0/0 when it detects position
values that are lost or corrupted by electrical noise.
Connect module output terminals to output devices with correct bonding:
• connect power supply output commons together
• electrically isolate power supply output commons from earth ground
• use bond wires that are equal in size to signal wires
Minimize interference from radiated electrical noise with correct
shielding and grounding:
• connect all of the following to earth ground:
– LDT flange, frame, and machine
– I/O chassis
– protective ground
– AC ground
– cable shields at one end only, preferably with 3/8” braid wire
(for analog output, "15V dc PS, 24V dc PS, and LDT)
– terminal 4 of the input terminal block
