Installation 3.3.2 EPOS4 Modules The connection of the «EPOS4 EtherCAT Card» can be established via a custom-made motherboard which defines the actual installation procedure. Depending on the case of application (with possibly involved strong movements and high dynamic acceler- ations) and to guarantee failsafe operation, you might wish to consider the use of a PCIe card edge connec- tor with retainer (Figure 3-6). - Page 16 Installation • • p a g e i n t e n t i o n a l l y l e f t b l a n k • • EPOS4 EtherCAT Card Hardware Reference 3-16 CCMC | 2019-11 | rel8613...

Page 18: Schematic Overview
Table 4-14. 4.2.1 Card Edge Connector & Socket Headers For implementation of the «EPOS4 EtherCAT Card», a PCIe 2x18 position connector is required. EPOS4 modules are available with two different types of socket headers. • EPOS4 Module 24/1.5 (536630) and EPOS4 Module 50/5 (534130) feature 1.27 mm box head- ers. -
Page 19: Supply Voltage
4.2.2 Supply Voltage For voltage supply of the «EPOS4 EtherCAT Card», you may employ the EPOS4 Module’s power supply. For details separate document «Hardware Reference» of the respective EPOS4 Module. If you intend to use another source as power supply, we recommend to connect a TVS (transient voltage suppressor) diode (D1) to the voltage supply line to protect against overvoltage resulting from voltage tran- sients or brake energy feedback. -
