Front side connectors
J3 24V power and motor brake port
J3 is a 3 pole terminal block type connector used for supplying 24VDC to drive and optionally controlling motor solenoid brake.
| Pin | Description | Connection |
|---|---|---|
| BK | Motor brake output | If motor has a 24V solenoid brake, connect brake between BK and V+ |
| V+ | 24V supply positive input | Connect to 24V PSU + |
| V- | 24V supply ground | Connect to 24V PSU - |
24VDC typical current consumption is between 0.1 - 0.7ADC depending on how much current is drawn by feedback device and an optional motor brake.
J1 feedback device port
J1 connector type is 15 pin female D-Sub and should be mated with 15 pin male D-Sub counterpart.
J1 pinout is to be announced later.
J2.1 and J2.2 Simplemotion & E-stop ports
J2.1 and J2.2 are RJ45 type connectors and mates with standard Cat 5 & 6 ethernet cables. Both of these ports are connected pin-to-pin parallel to allow chaining of Argon devices. For J2.x pinout, see SimpleMotion V2 port article.
Normally an ethernet type cable is plugged from J2.1 or J2.2 to SimpleMotion V2 USB adapter
J4 power & motor port
J4 is a 10 pole terminal block connector for several functions: earthing, AC power input, motor output, regenerative resistor output and HV DC link sharing.
Danger! dangerous & non-isolated mains potential voltages are present in this connector! Keep away from this connector when drive has been connected to AC mains during last 5 minutes. After unplugging AC power, 5 minutes is required for dangerous voltages to disappear from this connector.
| Pin name | Descrpition | Connection |
|---|---|---|
| VN | HV DC link negative rail | Do not connect |
| BR | Example | Braking resistor output, see Argon braking resistor usage |
| VP | HV DC link positive rail | Do not connect |
| ⏚ PE | Protective earth | Connect to motor PE conductor and motor cable shield |
| U | Motor U phase output | Connect to motor U phase lead |
| V | Motor V phase output | Connect to motor U phase lead |
| W | Motor W phase output | Connect to motor U phase lead |
| L | AC mains supply Line | Connect to AC supply line |
| N | AC mains supply Neutral | Connect to AC supply neutral |
| ⏚ PE | Protective earth | Connect to earth. This connection is always mandatory when operating the device! |
