Connectors Power in Motor Main Encoder 3.1 Power in and motor connectors Description of the Motor connector: Connect the DC servomotor terminal wires to Motor Arm1 and Motor Arm2 screw terminals. There are 2 connection terminals for motor Arm1 and also 2 connections for Arm2. For low power motors (peak current rating<20A) enough to connect 1-1 terminals.

3.2 USB, Main and Encoder connectors Description of the USB interface connector: A 4-pin RM2.0 socket connector is provided for tuning and for making diagnostics on the drive. This connector plugs directly into our PRG01 USB programming stick and this cable con- tains the USB driver electronics.

Description of the Main connector: The socket labeled Main is a standard RJ45 socket and contains control and fault signal pins. The pinout of the Main connector is listed below: Step signal input Direction signal input Ground for Step and Direction signals (NOT for power) 5V power input.

Error (and Stop) See Chapter 4.2 for features and function of the Error line. See Chapter 5.4 for Error line connection options. Note: A Stop signal can be sent on the Reset line or on the Error line. Ground- ing either of these pins will stop the drive, but in different ways. See Chapter 4.2 for Error line function.
See Chapter 5.4 for details on Error line connection options. Fault handling by the DG4S series drives: The possible operation states and their indications are as follows: 1. Controller running - indicates normal operation of the controller.
Page 11
2. Limit override - indicates that the set servo error limit is reached. Red LED blinking and Green LED blinking simultaneously. Description: This is a fault condition and occurs if the following servo error gets greater than the user set value. 3.

Installation of drive and physical dimensions 3,500 90° Figure 4. Drive mounting dimensions All dimensions in mm. The drive has four-four 3.5 mm mounting holes in the 3 mm thick aluminium backplate. The backplate is bent to 90° and is mountable in the vertical and also in the horizontal orientation.
Use heat transfer paste or a silicon heat transfer sheet to get the best thermal connection between the drive’s metal backplate and external mounting metal frame. The drive has builtin thermal protection, but it is adviced to keep the metal frame as cool as possible to avoid overheating and unexpected shutdowns.

To protect your new drives and also for the most reliable communications between the computer and the CNC electronics, always use separated Power Supplies for the digital power and the motor power and do not connect the two GND points together, keep them separated and run the ground lines back to their respective power supplies.

5.6 Mixing the Reset and Error lines The error line acts as an opencollector output which means that many error lines can be connected together (paralelled or in other words OR wired). The reset line is an input and therefor any number of reset lines may be also wired to- gether.

Power Supply selection and filtering The drive needs 2 power supplies for operation, one to feed the digital circuit and one to feed the motor. The digital power supply can be tipically a 12V DC voltage source with that has smoothed and regulated output and meets the other electrical requirements. The motor power supply should be a ‘linear’...

Using a switching mode power supply (SMPS) If using not a linear, but switching mode power supplies then do not connect the SMPS outputs directly to the drives, but connect a diode with it’s anode to the power supply positive output and place a capacitor to between the diode’s cathode and the negative (GND) output of the SMPS.

Troubleshooting Q: When powering up the drive, the motor running with full speed to one direction and stops after a while with error-limit reached LED on. A: Encoder is wired up in reverse, exchange motor Arm1 with Arm2 to reverse direction of the motor.
