IONICUBE 1X connectors

X1.1 and X1.2

RJ45 connector with SimpleMotion V2 interface. For pinout, seeSimpleMotion V2 port.

X2

feedback device connector for motor

X3

9 pin wire terminal for HV DC bus supply, logic voltage supply, regenerative resistor and motor power output.

X4

Control and setpoint signal port. Contains also output for motor solenoid holding brake.

X5

Card-edge connectors for IONI drive

Before inserting or removing IONI drives from IONICUBE, remove all power from it and discharge it's capacitors. To discharge remaining energy (~voltage) from capacitors, short circuit GND to HV+ by a conductor and measure that there is no DC voltage left between GND and HV+ terminals. Even few volts left to HV DC bus is known to cause permanent damage to IONICUBE when drives are plugged.

X3 pinout

This is a wire terminal connector for power input and output

Motor & brake wiring schematics

Note: the images below are drawn for IONICUBE 4 axis version. IONICUBE 1X wiring is equivalent except there is no brake output in the X3. Brake output pin is located in X4.

• 

  Wiring of three phase AC servo motor. Brake is optional.

• 

  Wiring of Brush-DC servo motor. Brake is optional.

• 

  Wiring of two phase stepping motor. Brake can be fitted like in the other examples. Also 6 and 8 wire motors can be wired (the two drive coils connect always to the same PHASE outputs).

X2 pinout

X2 is the feedback device connector of motor

Examples of feedback device and switch wiring

• 

  Fully wired port with differential incremental encoder, hall sensors and switches

• 

  Wiring of differential incremental encoder

• 

  Minimal wiring of incremental encoder (single ended, no index channel)

• 

  Wiring of Hall sensors only (only torque mode possible)

• 

  Illustration of wiring limit and home switches. In addition to this, encoder and/or halls are needed.

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.

X1 connector

X1 connectors are for SimpleMotion V2 bus which is used for drive configuration with Granity software and control over a multidrop capable serial data link.

Never connect an Ethernet to X1. While it uses similar connector and cabling, it is electrically incompatible with Ethernet. Devices may be permanently damaged by mixing Ethernet and SimpleMotion V2.

Do now wire SimpleMotion V2 ports with crossover RJ45 cables (see details). Always use straight/non-crossover patch cables. If unsure about what is the type of your RJ45 cable, don't use it.

X4 pinout

This section is unfinished. Don't use until this notice is removed.

X4 is main control and setpoint signal port consisting Enable input signal, Fault output signal, pulse and direction/quadrature/PWM setpoint inputs and digital outputs for home switch status. X4 is directly wired to conform most common parallel port style pulse & direction CNC controllers.

Connect X4/X5 only to 3.3V or 5V logic systems. For 24V logic the use of IONICUBE 1X is recommended

X5 is a second control and setpoint signal port in addition to X4. This port consists analog setpoint signal inputs and additional digital I/O.
