Page 4: Safety Instructions
Manual APS-Arduino Shield Observe the following safety instructions! Qualified personnel WARNING – Serious injury possible! Serious personal injury or serious damage to the machine and drives could be caused by insufficiently trained personnel! Without proper training and qualifications damage to devices and injury... - Page 5 WARNING – Serious injury from electric shock! If the APS module is not operated with SELV/PELV voltages, the risk of dangerous voltages may be on the device. Touching these components carrying high voltages can cause serious injury or death from electric shock: - Always observe the safety concept SELV / PELV to ensure safe insulation and separation of low voltage supplies from the mains.

Page 9: Block Scheme
4 Block Scheme Fig.2 Block scheme Power supply voltage: The APS supply (24 – 70 V) is not connected to the Arduino supply. APS Arduino Shield requires its own power supply to supply the APS power stage! The Arduino is not supplied by the APS supply (24-70 V).There is no electrical isolation of the supplies. -

Page 12: Installation
Manual APS-Arduino Shield 6 Installation 6.1 Mechanical Installation The APS is delivered as a single module board. Unpack the module carefully in ESD protected area only. Fig.1 Dimension in mm CAUTION – Possible damage by ESD! The module consists of sensitive electronic components that can be destroyed by electrostatic discharge voltages. - Page 13 CAUTION – Possible damage! The module is designed for a maximum supply voltage of 70 V . If it is supplied with >70 V the card might be damaged. - Make sure that a power supply is used with less than 70 V to avoid damage.

Fig.6 Connection diagrams for 4,(6) and 8 lead stepper motors Stepper motors with 8 leads can be connected with the windings wired in parallel (1) or series (2).
- Page 19 For 6 lead stepper motors, wiring scheme (3) with series windings is recommended. If wiring scheme (3) cannot be used because of the motor construction, the motor may be operated with only two of the four windings energized according to wiring scheme (5).
