==Mechanical installation and cooling==
[[File:Argon installation.png|thumb|A proper Argon installation orientation and spacing with optional [[Argon user guide/Mating connectors and accessories|heat sinks]] and an optional cooling fan.]]Argon drives should be installed vertically (J5 connector up) with at least 50 mm free air space between the device surfaces and possible cabinet walls to allow heat transfer along the heat sink side of the device. 

Cooling may be further by mounting additional [[Argon user guide/Mating connectors and accessories|heat sinks]] to the bottom of the device and/or using a fan blowing air from bottom to up. If fan is used, it should have dust filter to prevent dust inside the drives. 

Such additional cooling measures are typically necessary only when average output current is higher than 4 Amperes. Most of [[Control modes|position control]] servo systems run cool enough without additional cooling as the load is highly varying and the average output power is low. In any case, it is safe to experiment without cooling as drive's over temperature protection will shut down the drive in case of overheating.

==Wiring overview==
[[File:Wiringoverview notitle.png|600px]]

;The minimum wiring for a servo system (after configuration state):
# Safety [[Argon user guide/Earthing|earthing ]]to port J4 and preferably to the Argon case
# 24 VDC wiring to port J3
# [[Safe torque off]] and enable signals to port J2. See [[SimpleMotion V2 port|how]].
# Motion [[controller]] wiring:
## if pulse & direction, analog, PWM or quadrature setpoint signal used, wire signals to port J5
## if setpoint delivered over SimpleMotion V2 bus, then a cable from [[SimpleMotion V2 compatible communication interface device]] to J2
# Axis limit [[Argon user guide/J5 connector electrical interfacing|switches wired to port J5]]
# [[Feedback devices|Feedback device]] wiring to port J1
# Motor connection to port J4
# AC input power to port J4. Use an external fuse with this input.
;Optional wiring
# AC [[Power line filter]] on the wire entering J4
# Wiring of optional [[Argon user guide/Braking resistor|braking resistor]] to port J4
# Motor solenoid brake wiring to port J3
;Additionally following are required for drive configuration with [[Granity]]:
# A cable from [[SimpleMotion V2 USB adapter]] to port J2

==Ports and connectors==
[[File:Argonfront.png|800px|Argon front side connections]]
[[File:ArgonSideIO.png|550px|Argon side connections & DIP switches]]

===J1 feedback device port===
J1 connector type is 15 pin female D-Sub and should be mated with 15 pin male D-Sub counterpart. 

For pin-out and connection examples, see the main article [[Argon user guide/J1 connector wiring|J1 connector wiring]].

===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. 

See the main article [[SimpleMotion V2 port]].

===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. 

See the main article [[Argon user guide/J3 connector wiring|J3 connector wiring]].

===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. 

See the main article [[Argon user guide/J4 connector wiring|J4 connector wiring]].

===J5 Inputs/Outputs===
J5 Is a 26 pin [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulation-displacement_connector IDC connector] located on the side of Argon. The connector serves as general purpose I/O with [[setpoint signal]] inputs featuring: limit & home switch inputs, status indicator outputs, [[Analog setpoint|analog]], [[Pulse and direction|pulse and direction]], [[quadrature]] or [[PWM]] types of [[Setpoint signal|setpoint]] inputs and secondary [[feedback devices|feedback device]] input.

See the main article [[Argon I/O connector electrical interfacing]] for pin-out and wiring guide.

===J6 Expansion slot===
This slot is reserved for [[Argon add-on card]] that may be installed inside the drive.

===DIP Switches===
DIP switches serves as address selector when connecting the drive to [[SimpleMotion V2]] bus or [[Granity]].

See the main article [[Setting device bus address]].

==Basic wiring scheme==
Before wiring, be sure to read through the main articles regarding J1-J5 ports.
===Connecting multiple drives===
Note this drawing does not include wiring to motor (J4), motor brake (J3), feedback device (J1), controller (J5) and AC power input circuity.
