EPOS Positioning Controller EPOS 70/10 Hardware Reference Introduction This documentation “Hardware Reference” provides the hardware details of the EPOS 70/10 positioning controller. It contains performance data, connections, specification, pin assignment and wiring examples. The maxon motor EPOS 70/10 is a small-sized full digital smart motion controller.
Danger Do ensure that during the installation of the EPOS 70/10 no apparatus is connected to the electrical supply. After switching on, do not touch any live parts! Max.
EPOS Positioning Controller EPOS 70/10 Hardware Reference Performance Data 6.1 Electrical data Power supply voltage V (Ripple < 10%) .......... 11 … 70 VDC Logic supply voltage V (Ripple < 10%) (optional) ......11 … 70 VDC Max. output voltage ..................0.9 • V Max.
Choose a power supply capable of supplying this calculated voltage under load. The formula takes a max. PWM cycle of 90 % and a 1 volts max. voltage drop at EPOS 70/10 into account. Consider: During braking of the load, the power supply must be capable of buffering the fed back energy, e.g.
EPOS Positioning Controller EPOS 70/10 Hardware Reference 7.2 Logic supply connector (J1A) Optionally, the logic supply voltage can be sourced separately. This allows a safe and economical power backup feature. In case no separate Logic supply is applied, the Logic supply will be sourced by the Power supply voltage automatically.

EPOS Positioning Controller EPOS 70/10 Hardware Reference 7.4 Hall sensor connector (J3) Hall sensors are needed for detecting rotor position of maxon EC motors (brushless). Suitable for Hall Effect sensors IC using Schmitt-trigger with open collector output. Hall sensor supply voltage +5 VDC Max.
EPOS Positioning Controller EPOS 70/10 Hardware Reference 7.5 Encoder connector (J4) It is necessary that an encoder with a built-in line driver is used (3-channel recommended). The standard encoder adjustment (original packing) refers to a 500-count per turn encoder. For other encoders the adjustment must be modified with the software.
