I have a Fanuc A06B-0512-B504 red cap brushless motor (new) manufactured in 1999 that I would like to use on my cnc mill to replace a brush motor. Does anyone have the pinout of the 17 pin connector on this series motor? I am starting to think that perhaps it does not have hall sensors, but just the pulse coder output. I was under the impression that all drives need hall sensors at least on startup to get the commutation right. Is this true? I took the outer red cap off and the pulse coder is A860-0315-T101 2000P. All the wires in the 17 pin connector go to the pulse coder...no evidence of halls coming from the rest of the motor.

ideas?
