About About the Devices

1.2 About the Devices

Capabilities of the device, included features, and supported motors.

maxon motor control’s EPOS4 Module 50/5 and EPOS4 Compact 50/5 are small-sized, full digital, smart positioning control units. Their high power density allow flexible use for brushed DC and brushless EC (BLDC) motors up to approximately 250 Watts with various feedback options, such as Hall sensors, incremental encoders as well as absolute sensors in a multitude of drive applications.

The devices are specially designed to be commanded and controlled as a slave node in a CANopen network. In addition, the units can be operated via any USB or RS232 (the Module requires an external transceiver) communication port of a Windows or Linux workstation. Moreover, the integrated extension interface allows pooling with optionally available communication interfaces, such as EtherCAT or other additional functionalities.

Latest technology, such as field-oriented control (FOC) and acceleration/velocity feed forward in combination with highest control cycle rates allow sophisticated, ease-of-use motion control.

Thanks to its smart design, the EPOS4 Module 50/5 can either be used in combination with EPOS4 CB 50/5 connector boards as a compact, integrated solution or be incorporated into customer-specific motherboards for single axis or multi axes motion control systems. The controller is available in the following configurations:

• EPOS4 Module 50/5 (534130) Plug-in module for use with maxon motor control EPOS4 connector boards or customer-specific motherboards

• EPOS4 CB 50/5 CAN (534133) Connector board for initial commissioning or combination to a compact solution providing all connectors, including CANopen interface

• EPOS4 Compact 50/5 CAN (541718) Fully integrated, compact, ready-to-use assembly of plug-in module and CANopen connector board

IMPORTANT NOTICE: PREREQUISITES FOR PERMISSION TO COMMENCE INSTALLATION

EPOS4 Module 50/5 and EPOS4 Compact 50/5 positioning controllers are considered as partly com- pleted machinery according to EU Directive 2006/42/EC, Article 2, Clause (g) and are intended to be incorporated into or assembled with other machinery or other partly completed machinery or equipment.

WARNING

Risk of injury Operating the device without the full compliance of the surrounding system with the EU Direc-

tive 2006/42/EC may cause serious injuries!

• Do not operate the device, unless you have made completely sure that the other machinery fully complies with the EU directive’s requirements!

• Do not operate the device, unless the other machinery fulfills all relevant health and safety aspects!

• Do not operate the device, unless all respective interfaces have been established and fulfill the requirements stated in this document!

3.1 Generally applicable Rules

Setup

Generally applicable Rules

Maximal permitted supply voltage

• Make sure that supply power is between 10…50 VDC.

• Supply voltages above 56 VDC, or wrong polarity will destroy the unit.

• Note that the necessary output current is depending on the load torque. Yet, the output current limits are as follows: – continuous max. 5 A – short-time (acceleration) max. 15 A

Hot plugging the USB interface may cause hardware damage

If the USB interface is being hot-plugged (connecting while the power supply is on), the possibly high potential differences of the two power supplies of controller and PC/Notebook can lead to damaged hardware.

• Avoid potential differences between the power supply of controller and PC/Notebook or, if possible, balance them.

• Insert the USB connector first, then switch on the power supply of the controller.

3.3.5 DIP Switch Configuration (SW1)

Figure 3-21 EPOS4 CB 50/5 CAN – DIP switch SW1

3.3.5.1 CAN ID (Node Address)

The CAN ID is set with DIP switches 1…5. The node address (1…31) may be coded using binary code.

Setting the CAN ID by DIP switch SW1

• By setting the DIP switch (1…5) address 0 (“OFF”), the CAN ID may be set by software (changing object “Node ID”, range 1…127).

• The CAN ID results in the summed values of DIP switch addresses 1 (“ON”).

• DIP switches 6…8 do not have any impact on the CAN ID.

3.4.5 Encoder

Best practice

• Differential signals offer good resistance against electrical interference. Therefore, we recommend using a differential scheme. Nevertheless, the controller supports both schemes – differential and

single-ended (unsymmetrical).

• For best performance, we strongly recommend using encoders with a line driver. Otherwise, limitations may apply due to slow switching edges.

• Even though 2-channel will do, we strongly recommend to use only 3-channel versions.

3.4.10 Serial Communication Interface (SCI) / RS232

The SCI is a two-wire asynchronous serial port, commonly known as a UART. The SCI modules support digital communication between the CPU and other asynchronous peripherals that use the standard nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) format.

A common use of the Module’s SCI is to build an RS232 interface by wiring it to an RS232 transceiver. Alternatively, using any of the Compact versions does not require an external transceiver.

Bit rate settings

• Consider the master’s maximal bite rate.

• The standard bit rate setting (factory setting) is 115’200 bit/s.

4.1 Requirements for Components of Third-party Suppliers

Best practice

For references and recommended components consult Table 4-65.

4.1.1 Socket Headers

For implementation of the Module, 1.27 mm box headers are required.

4.1.2 Supply Voltage

To protect the Module, we recommend using an external circuit breaker, a TVS diode, and a capacitor in the voltage supply cable. In this regard, please note the following recommendations:

Figure 4-48 Wiring of power supply

NPUT FUSE (FU1)

An input fuse (FU1) is necessary in order to provide reverse polarity protection. Together with an unipolar TVS diode (D1), this prevents current from flowing in the wrong direction.

TVS DIODE (D1)

To protect against overvoltage resulting from voltage transients or brake energy feedback, we recommend connecting a TVS (transient voltage suppressor) diode (D1) to the voltage supply line.

APACITOR (C1)

The function of the Module does not necessarily require the use of an external capacitor. Nevertheless, to further reduce voltage ripple and feedback currents, an electrolytic capacitor (C1) can be connected to the voltage supply line. Use of an electrolytic capacitor is also recommended to avoid oscillations caused by supply cable inductance or the Module’s built-in capacitors that could lead to a voltage overshoot at power plug-in.

Motherboard Design Guide

Requirements for Components of Third-party Suppliers

4.1.3 Logic Supply Voltage

The Module features a logic supply voltage input. Its voltage range is 10…50 V and must be either sourced separately or by the power supply voltage.

Figure 4-49 Wiring of logic supply

TVS D

IODE (D2)

If the logic supply voltage is sourced separately, a transient voltage suppressor diode (D2) at the logic supply voltage input can be connected to protect the module against overvoltage.

APACITOR (C2)

Use an electrolytic capacitor (C2) if the logic supply is sourced separately. This will avoid oscillations caused by supply cable inductance or the Module’s built-in capacitors that could lead to a voltage overshoot at power plug-in.

4.1.4 Motor Cables and Motor Chokes

The Module is not equipped with internal motor chokes. The majority of motors and applications do not require additional chokes. However, in case of high supply voltage with very low terminal inductance, the ripple of the motor current can reach an unacceptably high value. This causes the motor to heat up unnecessarily and causes instable control behavior. The minimum terminal inductance required per phase can be calculated using the following formula:

Additional external inductance per phase

Operating voltage +V

Switching frequency of the power stage = 50’000 Hz

Nominal current of the motor (line 6 in the maxon catalog)

Terminal inductance of the motor (line 11 in the maxon catalog)

If the result of the calculation is negative, no additional chokes are necessary. Nevertheless, the use of chokes in combination with additional filter components can be useful to reduce the emission of electromagnetic interference.

An additional choke must feature electromagnetic shielding, an adequate saturation current, minimal losses, and a nominal current greater than the continuous current of the motor. The below wiring example refers to an additional inductance of 2.2 μH or 10 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.maxonmotor.com.

4.2 Design Guidelines

The following instructions are intended to serve as an aid when designing an application-specific motherboard and ensures the correct and reliable integration of the Module.

While designing a motherboard, consider the following characteristics of the Module:

• Pin assignment (page 3-18)

• Technical data (page 2-11) and dimensional drawing (page 2-14)

4.2.1 Ground

All ground connections (GND) should be internally connected to the Module (equal potential). It is customary to equip the motherboard with a ground plane. All ground connections should be connected to the voltage supply ground via wide conductive tracks.

Pin Signal Description

A30…A36 GND Ground

B16 GND Ground

B37…B38 GND Ground

Table 4-66 Motherboard Design Guide – Grounding

Motherboard Design Guide

Design Guidelines

If an earth potential is in place or required, the ground plane should be connected to the earth potential via one or more capacitors. The use of ceramic capacitors with 100 nF and 100 V is recommended.

4.2.2 Layout

Guidelines for the layout of the motherboard:

• Connector pins [A23], [A24], [A25], [A26], [A27], [A28], and [A29] for +V

(nominal power sup-

ply voltage) should be connected to the fuse via wide conductive tracks.

• Connector pins [A30], [A31], [A32], [A33], [A34], [A35], [A36], [B16], [B37], and [B38] for GND (ground) should be connected with the operating voltage ground via wide conductive tracks.

• Connector pin [B39] (DSP_RxD) must be connected to [A40] (sensor supply voltage; V

Sensor

)

when RS232 is not in use.

• The width of the conductive tracks and the copper coating thickness of the conductors for supply voltage and motor depend on the current required in your application. A minimum track width of 75 mil and a minimum copper coating thickness of 35 μm are recommended.
