Video showing three axis CNC control with IONICUBE and IONI drives

IONICUBE is a 1-4 axis motherboard for IONI Servo Drives. IONICUBE provide four slots for IONI drives as well as terminals and connectors for motor power, feedback devices, I/O and SimpleMotion V2.

Features

IONICUBE has been designed multiaxis robotic systems such as CNC machines in mind. On-board features include:

  • Carry up to 4 IONI drives
  • On-board regenerative braking resistor
  • Support end-of-travel switches and homing switches
  • Motor holding brake outputs & drivers for each axis
  • Two 26 pin I/O and setpoint signal connectors
    • X4 connector is directly connectible to traditional CNC controllers (parallel port, SmoothStepper etc).
    • X5 connector for extra I/O for drives and analog setpoint inputs for custom applications
  • No separate break-out-boards needed
  • Charge pump enable input for safety
  • E-stop switch input (safe torque off)
  • PWM to 0-10V converter for VFD spindle
  • Two drivers for external relays
  • ARGON Servo Drive compatible encoder connector pin-out
  • RJ45 connectors for SimpleMotion V2 usage and configuration
  • On-board 1.5A 5V regulator to power drive logic and feedback devices

Technical specifications

Mechanical

Property Value Units
Dimensions (including IONI drives) 153.5 × 44 × 111.9 (W×H×D) mm
Weight 0.35 kg
Drawings 2D & 3D models PDF/IGES/STEP

Environment

Property Value Units
Operating temperature 10-70 °C
Storage temperature -30-90 °C
Humidity 0-95 non-condensing  %

Power supply

Supply1 Input voltage Input current typ Input current max
Logic power 24 VDC +/- 10% 0.1 - 0.4 A 3 A (can occur when driving motor holding brakes or external relays)
Motor power 5 - 52 VDC2 Sum of current consumption of on-board IONI drives

1) Both logic and motor supplies are required.

2) Possible to use from 5 VDC upwards, however short circuit protection feature of IONI drive is lost below 12 VDC.

Power capability

Specification Continuous rating Peak/surge rating
Maximum input supply current through connector X3 20 A1 35 A1, 10 secs
Maximum input supply current through soldered wire 35 A1 55 A1, 10 secs
Maximum output current per motor phase 20 A 30 A, 10 secs

1) Equivalent power can be calculated by multiplying supply current and supply voltage. I.e. 20 A * 50 V = 1000 W

Regenerative resistor

Property Value Units
On-board resistor 15 Ohms 11 Watts
Maximum current for external resistor 8 (continuous), 15 (peak, max 0.5 seconds) A
Minimum allowed external resistance @ 48 VDC supply 4 Ω
Minimum allowed external resistance @ 24 VDC supply 2.5 Ω
Resistor power dissipation 0-1000¹ W

¹) Power dissipation depends on how much system's kinetic energy is directed to the resistor. In typical applications, the dissipation is in range of 10W to 100W.
