==Electrical interface modes (software selectable)==
 +
IONI supports various function mappings to I/O signals and is selectable through [[Granity]] [[CEI|CEI Electrical interface parameter]]. The differences between modes are:
 +
 
 +
{| class="wikitable"
 +
|-
 +
! Mode !! Description !! Effects (change of operation compared to Standard in this mode)
 +
|-
 +
| Standard || The default mode || I/O assignments as described in pinout
 +
|-
 +
| IONICUBE (CNC applications) || Mode for [[IONICUBE]] that is compatible with parallel port CNC [[controller]]s such as  [[Mach3]] and [[LinuxCNC]] software.
 +
 
 +
Not recommended with [[IONICUBE 1X]] as GPO3/fault output will not work then.
 +
||
 +
* In addition to rising edge of GPI4, also rising edge on Enable will clear fault state. In standard mode Enable input will not clear faults.
 +
* GPO3 (fault state) output will go logic low after Enable signal goes low. In standard mode GPO3 stays high until faults are cleared.
 +
* GPO3 is open drain output to allow [[Wired and connection]] of multiple fault outputs of multiple drives
 +
 
 +
|-
 +
| SimuCUBE || Mode for [[SimuCUBE]] motherboard for force feedback simulator systems.
 +
||
 +
* STO2 input acts as Enable and Clear faults input. In other words STO2 is the only one needed for all three functions, and Enable and Clear faults can be left unconnected.
 +
* [[Regenerative resistor]] drive has been tuned for SimuCUBE regenerative resistor
 +
* Power consumption limit has been tuned for simulator use (smoother operation than in other modes)
 +
* GPO5 is used as temperature controlled fan PWM output
 +
|}
 +
 
 +
==Selecting device address==
 +
When accessing drive through [[SimpleMotion V2]] bus, each device in the bus should be assigned to different address between 1 to N. Device address is a sum of hardware setting and software parameter {{param|SMO}}. The address of device is determined at the moment of logic voltage power on and will become by sum of hardware setting and SMO.
 +
 
 +
Hardware setting is set by connecting a resistor between ADDRSELx and GND by method defined in article [[IONI SimpleMotion address selection (ADDRSEL)]].
 +
 
 +
===Software selecting address===
 +
When having more than four devices in the same bus, or for example chaining multiple [[IONICUBE 1X]] motherboards (where all of them have address 1), it is necessary to utilize software parameter {{param|SMO}}. Procedure for setting unique address for each device with SMO:
 +
 
 +
#Disconnect or unpower all other devices that the ones with already unique address (i.e. have only one IONICUBE connected to SM bus, or powered on)
 +
#Connect to drive with Granity
 +
#Adjust SMO parameter value so that device will receive a desired bus address. I.e. if using IONICUBE 1X, set SMO values 0, 1, 2, 3 to the different drives (drive addresses will become 1, 2, 3, 4). Or when IONICUBE (4 axis) is being used, set SMO values of drives on the first board 0, second board 4, third 8 etc (drive addresses will become 1 - 12).
 +
#Save settings, disconnect and repeat the procedure for all drives.

Signal assignment[edit | edit source]

General purpose I/O (GPI/GPO)[edit | edit source]

The table below summarizes the default functions for GPIO pins.

Connecting GPI/GPO's are not mandatory. All of the same functions may be also accessed via SimpleMotion V2 interface.
Signal name Function Used for Remarks
GPI1 Home switch Homing reference switch (optional), can also disable homing, or use Hard-stop homing without switch Note 1
GPI2 Enable positive feed Axis positive direction end limit switch (optional) Normally closed switch. When switch is open, motion/force in positive direction is prevented. 1
GPI3 Enable negative feed Axis negative direction end limit switch (optional) Normally closed switch. When switch is open, motion/force in negative direction is prevented. 1
GPI4 Clear faults Rising logic edge on this pin will clear fault state of drive In IONICUBE mode, also rising edge of enable signal will clear faults.
GPI5 Start homing Rising logic edge on this pin will start homing if homing is enabled
GPO1 Servo ready Use to indicate controller that drive is ready Logic 1 when drive has been initialized, enabled and ready to follow setpoint commands. If homing is enabled, then servo ready will be logic 1 after homing is successfully completed.
GPO2 Tracking error warning Use to indicate controller when drive is having difficulties following the setpoint before a tracking fault occurs Logic 1 when tracking error (position or velocity, depending on control mode) is greater than 1/8 of configured fault trigger level.
GPO3 Fault state (active low) Use to indicate controller that drive is stopped due to fault state In IONICUBE mode GPO3 goes logic 0 after when enable signal is set low (for Mach3 compatibility). GPO3 is open drain type to allow wired and connection.
GPO4 2-way travel allowed Use to indicate controller when axis is allowed to move in both directions (i.e. any limit switches not hit or axis lies within an optional homing defined limited travel range)
  • GPO4 will be logic high if both of "Pos feed enable" and "Neg feed enable" as seen in Granity status are true. These Pos/Neg feed enable states are affected by Limit switch polarityLSP.
  • If you see both Pos & Neg feed enables being false, then you probably need to invert the switches with LSP parameter.
  • GPO4 will be also false if limit switch has been configured as home switch and homing is being performed.
  • GPO4 will work also sensorless manner after performing hard-stop homing with active "soft travel limits", in such case GPO4 will indicate whether axis is within the allowed software configured motion range.
GPO5 Reserved Feel free to request custom signal from Granite Devices support to be added in this output. For example fan control or custom status output. Changes can be made in customer specific firmware.

1) Connect switch between GND and GPIn pin

See also Drive status & fault bits explained.

Setpoint signals[edit | edit source]

Setpoint mode is selected by software with parameter Setpoint inputCRI and behavior is affected by parameters Setpoint smoothingCIS, Setpoint multiplierMUL, Setpoint dividerDIV, Setpoint offset nullingCAO and Enable direction inputCED.

Drive listens setpoint commands also always through SimpleMotion V2 interface regardess of Setpoint inputCRI paramter setting.
Signal name Function Used for Remarks
HSIN1 High speed digital input 1 Depending on setpoint mode, can be either:
HSIN2 High speed digital input 2 Depending on setpoint mode, can be either:
  • Direction signal of pulse train (in Pulse and direction setpoint mode)

Feedback device signals[edit | edit source]

Signal name # Electrical type (in most feedback device modes) Alternate electrical type (in some feedback device modes) Connection with various feedback devices
HALL_W Digital input W Hall sensor input, phase W
HALL_V Digital input V Hall sensor input, phase V
HALL_U Digital input U Hall sensor input, phase U
A- Differential input A- Analog input A- Quadrature encoder (A channel)/SinCos A
A+ Differential input A+ Analog input A+
B- Differential input B- Analog input B+ Quadrature encoder (B channel)/SinCos B
B+ Differential input B+ Analog input B-
C- Differential input C- Quadrature encoder index channel (Z channel)
C+ Differential input C+
In case of single-ended encoder, connect encoder's A, B, Z only to drive's A+, B+ and C+ and leave drive's A-, B- and C- unconnected.
With differential Hall sensor (which provides U+, U-, V+, V-, W+ and W-, connect only sensor's U+, V+ and W+ to drive's HALL_U/V/W.
Never connect sensor negative outputs (A-/B-/C-/U-/V-/W-) to GND. Connect them to drive's A-/B-/C- or leave unconnected.
Feedback devices with differential signaling may use varying naming schemes of signal pairs. For example differential signal X (which contains two electrical wires) may be denoted as: X+ and X-, or X and \X or X and X. In this Wiki we mark them X+ and X-. Some Fanuc encoders have quadrature signals named as PCA, /PCA, PCB, /PCB, PCZ and /PCZ which are equivalent to A, B and Z signal pairs.

Other signals[edit | edit source]

Signal name Function Used for Remarks
REGEN_OUT Regenerative resistor control output Use to control optional regenerative resistor to prevent excessive voltage generation in HV DC bus during motor deceleration. A buffer circuit is needed for resistor, such as a logic level MOSFET. See example schematic here.
MECH_BRAKE_OUT Mechanical holding brake control output Use to control optional holding brake of motor A buffer circuit is needed to drive a solenoid brake, such as a logic level MOSFET. See example schematic here.
ENABLE_IN Drive enable input signal (always required) Use to enable drive and allow motor to initialize and operate Accepts up to 24V voltage level, but works also with 5V level signal. (1)
STO2 Safe torque off input signal (always required) Use to allow motor to produce torque (activate power stage) Accepts up to 24V voltage level, but works also with 5V level signal. STO is inactive (allows torque) when logic high is supplied. (1)

(1) ENABLE_IN and STO2 are not 3.3V compatible, 4.5-26V signal is required to drive logic true state into them.

Electrical interface modes (software selectable)[edit | edit source]

IONI supports various function mappings to I/O signals and is selectable through Granity CEI Electrical interface parameter. The differences between modes are:

Mode Description Effects (change of operation compared to Standard in this mode)
Standard The default mode I/O assignments as described in pinout
IONICUBE (CNC applications) Mode for IONICUBE that is compatible with parallel port CNC controllers such as Mach3 and LinuxCNC software.

Not recommended with IONICUBE 1X as GPO3/fault output will not work then.

  • In addition to rising edge of GPI4, also rising edge on Enable will clear fault state. In standard mode Enable input will not clear faults.
  • GPO3 (fault state) output will go logic low after Enable signal goes low. In standard mode GPO3 stays high until faults are cleared.
  • GPO3 is open drain output to allow Wired and connection of multiple fault outputs of multiple drives
SimuCUBE Mode for SimuCUBE motherboard for force feedback simulator systems.
  • STO2 input acts as Enable and Clear faults input. In other words STO2 is the only one needed for all three functions, and Enable and Clear faults can be left unconnected.
  • Regenerative resistor drive has been tuned for SimuCUBE regenerative resistor
  • Power consumption limit has been tuned for simulator use (smoother operation than in other modes)
  • GPO5 is used as temperature controlled fan PWM output

Selecting device address[edit | edit source]

When accessing drive through SimpleMotion V2 bus, each device in the bus should be assigned to different address between 1 to N. Device address is a sum of hardware setting and software parameter SimpleMotion bus address offsetSMO. The address of device is determined at the moment of logic voltage power on and will become by sum of hardware setting and SMO.

Hardware setting is set by connecting a resistor between ADDRSELx and GND by method defined in article IONI SimpleMotion address selection (ADDRSEL).

Software selecting address[edit | edit source]

When having more than four devices in the same bus, or for example chaining multiple IONICUBE 1X motherboards (where all of them have address 1), it is necessary to utilize software parameter SimpleMotion bus address offsetSMO. Procedure for setting unique address for each device with SMO:

  1. Disconnect or unpower all other devices that the ones with already unique address (i.e. have only one IONICUBE connected to SM bus, or powered on)
  2. Connect to drive with Granity
  3. Adjust SMO parameter value so that device will receive a desired bus address. I.e. if using IONICUBE 1X, set SMO values 0, 1, 2, 3 to the different drives (drive addresses will become 1, 2, 3, 4). Or when IONICUBE (4 axis) is being used, set SMO values of drives on the first board 0, second board 4, third 8 etc (drive addresses will become 1 - 12).
  4. Save settings, disconnect and repeat the procedure for all drives.
