Power Supply Configuration Diagram

Noise filter for signal line
Connect to wiring to suppress external noise.
Depending on frequency, filtered noise may different

Noise filter for power
Connect the power to suppress external noise.
The wires should be connected as short as possible and grounded

Regenerative resistance
Connect the pin 1, 2 on the power connector.
Use in condition of the high inertia load or the short deceleration time.
Forced cooling is required in condition of high surface temperature of regenerative resistance.
