  • Page 29: I/O And Signal Wiring Requirements

    Installation and Configuration Epaq MR Hardware Manual 2.2.3. I/O and Signal Wiring Requirements The I/O, communication, and encoder feedback connections are typically very low power connections. In some applications, especially when there are significant wire distances, a larger wire size may be required to reduce the voltage drop that occurs along the wire.
  • Page 30: Voltage Selection

    Epaq MR Hardware Manual Installation and Configuration 2.2.4. Voltage Selection You can reconfigure the transformers primary windings to support different AC line voltages by changing the Voltage Selection switches that are located on the left side of the chassis. The Voltage Selector can only be used with transformer-derived bus voltages.
  • Page 31: Motor Output Connections

    Epaq MR Hardware Manual 2.3. Motor Output Connections The Epaq MR can be used to drive three motor types: Brushless, DC Brush, and Stepper motors. The DC brush, brushless, and stepper motor connections are made to the 5-pin high power “D” style motor power connectors (Axis 1-8) that are located on the rear panel.
  • Page 32: Brushless Motor Connections

    Brushless Motor Configuration Brushless motors are commutated electronically by the controller, typically using Hall-effect devices. If you are using standard Aerotech motors and cables, motor phasing adjustments are not required and this section may be skipped. The controller requires that the Back-EMF of each motor phase be aligned with the corresponding Hall-effect signal.
  • Page 33: Powered Motor Phasing

    Installation and Configuration Epaq MR Hardware Manual 2.3.1.1. Powered Motor Phasing Refer to the Motor Phasing Calculator in the Configuration Manager for motor, Hall, and encoder phasing. Feedback Monitoring The state of the encoder and Hall-effect device signals can be observed in the Motion Composer.
  • Page 34: Unpowered Motor And Feedback Phasing

    With the designations of the motor and Hall leads of a third party motor determined, the motor can now be connected to an Aerotech system. Connect motor lead A to motor connector A, motor lead B to motor connector B, and motor lead C to motor connector C. Hall leads should also be connected to their respective feedback connector pins (Hall A lead to the Hall A feedback pin, Hall B to Hall B, and Hall C to Hall C).
  • Page 35: Dc Brush Motor Connections

    When the voltmeter indicates a positive value, the motor leads have been identified. 5. Connect the motor lead from the voltmeter to the ØA motor terminal on the Epaq MR. Connect the motor lead from the negative lead of the voltmeter to the ØC motor terminal on the Epaq MR.
  • Page 36: Stepper Motor Connections

    Stepper Motor Configuration 2.3.3.1. Stepper Motor Phasing N O T E : If using standard Aerotech motors and cables, motor and encoder connection adjustments are not required. A stepper motor can be run with or without an encoder. If an encoder is not being used, phasing is not necessary.
  • Page 37: Motor Feedback Connections

    Installation and Configuration Epaq MR Hardware Manual 2.4. Motor Feedback Connections The motor feedback connector (a 25-pin, D-style connector) has connections for an encoder, limit switches, Hall-effect devices, motor over-temperature device, 5 V encoder and limit power, and optional brake connections.
  • Page 38: Encoder Inputs

    Installation and Configuration 2.4.1. Encoder Inputs The Epaq MR is equipped with standard and auxiliary encoder feedback channels. The standard encoder interface is accessible through the Motor Feedback connector. By default, it accepts an RS-422 differential line driver signal. If the -MXU or -MXH option has been purchased, the standard encoder interface has been configured for an analog encoder input via parameter settings.
  • Page 39: Rs-422 Line Driver Encoder (Standard)

    Installation and Configuration Epaq MR Hardware Manual 2.4.1.1. RS-422 Line Driver Encoder (Standard) The standard encoder interface accepts an RS-422 differential quadrature line driver signal. Invalid or missing signals will cause a feedback fault when the axis is enabled. An analog encoder is used with the -MXH/-MXU option (refer to Section 2.4.1.2.
  • Page 40: Analog Encoder Interface

    Epaq MR Hardware Manual Installation and Configuration 2.4.1.2. Analog Encoder Interface If the -MXH/-MXU option has been purchased, the standard encoder channel will accept a differential analog encoder input signal. The interpolation factor is determined by the EncoderMultiplicationFactor parameter and is software selectable (refer to the Ensemble Help file).

  • Page 45: Thermistor Input

    Installation and Configuration Epaq MR Hardware Manual 2.4.3. Thermistor Input The thermistor input is used to detect a motor over temperature condition by using a positive temperature coefficient sensor. As the temperature of the sensor increases, so does the resistance. Under normal operating conditions, the resistance of the thermistor is low (i.e., 100 ohms) which will result in a low input...
  • Page 46: Encoder Fault Input

    Epaq MR Hardware Manual Installation and Configuration 2.4.4. Encoder Fault Input The encoder fault input is for use with encoders that have a fault output. This is provided by some manufactures and indicates a loss of encoder function. The active state of this input is parameter configurable and the controller should be configured to disable the axis when the fault level is active.
  • Page 47: End Of Travel Limit Inputs

    Installation and Configuration Epaq MR Hardware Manual 2.4.5. End Of Travel Limit Inputs End of Travel (EOT) limits are used to define the end of physical travel. The EOT limit inputs accept 5-24 VDC level signals. The active state of the EOT limits is software selectable by the EndOfTravelLimitSetup axis parameter (refer to the Ensemble Help file).
