3. Wire input and output signals to the desired logic device. See Section 5: Connections and Cables. 4. Attach motor and encoder cables. 5. Attach programming cable and install the Tolomatic Motion Interface software. 6. Configure ACS Drive. 7. Program the logic device.
Connections & Cables 5.1 Connections and Cables Overview All cables for the ACS Drive can be ordered through Tolomatic with the exception of the power supply. When using cables other than those provided by Tolomatic, reference the cable mating connector style to ensure the proper cabling is supplied.
Igus Chainflex CF140US-07-04. See Appendix 1 for motor pinout chart. 5.3 encoder Connection and Cable The ACS Drive has an encoder port that supports differential signal quadrature encoders. Single ended encoders may be used with additional external circuitry. It is highly recommended to use differential encoders as they are more resistant to signal noise.

Figure 5-10: USB 2.0 Connection 5.8 RS-485 Connection The ACS RS485 connection requires an RJ45 plug with 3 conductors. The ACS controller/drive uses a two-wire configuration for RS485 connection. This requires three signals: A, B, and Common. Signals A and B are a differential pair. Signals A and B are duplicated on pins 7 and 8.

Due to high data rate and reliability considerations, at the minimum, Cat5e cables should be used with the ACS Drive. If the cables are made on site, they must be tested to meet performance criteria set according to TIA/EIA -568-B standard.
6.1 digital Inputs 6.1.1 Specifications The ACS Drive has a total of 8 opto-isolated digital inputs. These digital inputs are opto-isolated from the controller's drive circuitry and can be wired either as sinking or sourcing. All of the digital inputs have a common return.
6.2 digital Outputs 6.2.1 Specifications The ACS Drive has four digital outputs. These digital outputs are opto-isolated from the drive circuitry and can be configured for sinking or sourcing. The outputs are protected against over current and short circuit conditions. If an over current condition is present, the output turns off until the load is removed.
6: S P E C I F I C A T I O N S & W I R I N G 6.3 Analog Input 6.3.1 Specifications The ACS Drive comes with one analog input. The input is configurable through software to be 0-10V or 4-20mA input. The analog input is referenced to the analog ground pin.
6: S P E C I F I C A T I O N S & W I R I N G 6.4 Analog Output 6.4.1 Specifications The ACS Drive can have one analog output capable of 0-10V or 4-20mA operation (on selected models). The analog output is referenced to the analog output ground pin. parameter...
ACS internal drive Absolute Maximum Voltage components. Logic Current Draw Maximum (24V) Table 6-6: ACS Internal Drive Specifications WARNING! Drive will fault at 55V; any voltage above the absolute max voltage can result in permanent damage. Do not reverse bias the power inputs.
6.6.3 power Supply Selection Both unregulated and regulated power supply can be used to power the ACS Drive. Unregulated supply can be a better choice depending on the application as they have a larger output capacitance. This characteristic makes an unregulated power supply a better energy absorption source.
A shunt regulator is available Part Number 2180-1163. The ACS Drive is intended to run off of an isolated DC power source. The power supply required will depend on the application. A 48V supply will allow the actuator to operate at maximum speed.
1. While the Motion Complete signal is low, the drive will ignore Start Motion pulses and Motion Selection lines. 2. If the enable signal is low or Software Stop signal is high, the drive will ignore start motion pulses. Tolomatic Hardware & Installation Guide: ACS Stepper Drive/Controller • 7_3 •...

Troubleshooting 10.1 troubleshooting 10.1.1 troubleshooting the ACS Stepper drive SYMptOM / tROUBLe pOSSIBLe CAUSe / ReSOLUtION No communication to drive 1. Check power connection. (See page 6_6 for wiring) 2. Try another USB cable. 3. Verify that the communication cable is plugged in securely.
1. Running TMI and connecting using a virtual server when TMI is connected over has been known to cause USB connection issues. It is not recommended to control ACS drives using a virtual machine 2. Check different USB ports. 3. Check different computers.
There are currently four frame sizes– NEMA 11, NEMA 17, NEMA 23 and NEMA 34 available from Tolomatic (six different motors) – available for operation with the ACS Drive. Each motor is available with an optional differential incremental encoder. All motors come with a short 150mm cable and connector on the motor body.
