• Supply voltages above 56 VDC, or wrong polarity will destroy the unit. • Note that the necessary output current is depending on the load torque. Yet, the output current limits of the ESCON Module 50/5 are as follows; continuous max. 5 A / short-time (acceleration) max. 15 A. maxon motor control...
If you are not trained in the design and development of printed circuit boards, you will need additional support for this point. maxon motor will be happy to provide you with a quote for designing and manufacturing a motherboard for your specific application.
5.1.2 Supply Voltage To protect the ESCON Module 50/5, we recommend using an external circuit breaker, a TVS diode, and a capacitor in the voltage supply cable. In this regard, please note the following recommendations: Figure 5-23...

5.1.3 Motor Cables/Motor Chokes The ESCON Module 50/5 is not equipped with internal motor chokes. The majority of motors and applications do not require additional chokes. However, in the case of high supply voltage with very low terminal inductance, the ripple of the motor current can reach an unacceptably high value.
5.2.1 Ground All ground connections (GND) should be internally connected to the ESCON Module 50/5 (equal poten- tial). It is customary to equip the motherboard with a ground plane. All ground connections should be connected to the voltage supply ground via wide conductive tracks.
All required connections are already in place and designed as screw-type terminals. Figure 5-26 ESCON Module MoBo (left), with mounted ESCON Module 50/5 (right) Figure 5-27 ESCON Module MoBo – Dimensional Drawing [mm] maxon motor control...
