Servo Cable Routing Rules for Clean Feedback — STEPMOTECH engineering article

Servo Cable Routing Rules for Clean Feedback

Many feedback issues blamed on the motor or drive turn out to be routing discipline problems. The fix is cheap if it happens before cabinet freeze.

Clean feedback starts with physical routing

Feedback quality is shaped before the first parameter file is loaded. Routing distance, bend control, and separation from noisy lines all matter.

A clean routing rule set prevents the kind of intermittent issue that burns days because it appears only after the cabinet is closed.

  • Separate feedback and power paths as early as possible in the cabinet.
  • Control bend radius at the moving point, not only in the trunk.
  • Photograph the approved routing path for repeat builds.

Routing checkpoints

These rules are simple enough to use in every build review.

1. Separate feedback trunk from power trunk
2. Confirm bend radius at moving point
3. Save cabinet photos into FAT record
