If you are not trained in the design and development of printed circuit boards, you will need additional sup- port for this point. maxon will be happy to provide you with a quote for designing and manufacturing a motherboard for your specific application.
The below wiring example refers to an additional inductance of 22 μH. If a different additional inductance is required, also the filter components must be adapted accordingly. Should you need further help with the filter design, contact maxon Support at http://support.maxongroup.com.
Motherboard Design Guide Design Guidelines Design Guidelines The following instructions are intended to serve as an aid for designing an application-specific motherboard and ensuring the correct and reliable integration of the ESCON Module 50/5. 5.2.1 Ground All ground connections (GND) should be internally connected to the ESCON Module 50/5 (equal potential).
