POWER
CONNECTOR

The bottom 2 pins of input connector 1 are used to provide the 24V
dc power to the MC224. A 24V dc, Class 2 transformer or power
source must be provided.

This 24 Volt input also supplies power to the I/O 24 Volts and any
daughter boards fi tted.

The MC224 is grounded via the metal case. It MUST be installed
on an unpainted metal plate which is connected to earth.

Two internal relays are used to enable external amplifi ers when the
controller has powered up correctly and the system and application
software are ready. Each amplifi er enable is a single pole solid state
relay with a normally open “contact”. The enable relay contact will
be open circuit if there is no power on the controller OR a following
error exists on a servo axis OR the user program sets it open with
the WDOG=OFF command.

ALL STEPPER AND SERVO AMPLIFIERS MUST BE INHIBITED WHEN
THE AMPLIFIER ENABLE OUTPUT IS OPEN CIRCUIT

Unscrew the 2 Allen screws (A) which secure the front moulding
cover and remove the cover.
Unscrew the top ribbon cable bus cover (B). If the ribbon cable is
connected, remove this by pushing the retaining levers outwards.
Unscrew the 8 screws (C) which secure the right hand side cover of
the module.
Unscrew the single screw (D) which secures the axis daughter board
to the left hand side of the module. This is located by the left hand
end of the axis daughter front panel.
The sequence is reversed after inserting any new modules.

Good quality screened cables should be used for the serial ports and for the USB link. The serial
ports, USB port and CANbus port are not galvanically isolated, therefore the 0V return MUST be
connected to all peripheral devices. In addition, bond together the 0V (24V return) terminals of
all system components so as to minimise current fl owing in the serial cables.
