Ports and connectors

Argon front side connections

J1 feedback device port

J1 connector. Click to enlarge and see pin numbering.

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

Pin-out

Many of the J1 pins have dual functions. The operating mode of pin is determined by feedback device mode selected from Granity.

Shell PE Earth/case Feedback cable shield
1 HALL_W Hall sensor input, phase W Possible to use as general digital input in custom firmware Hall sensor input
2 HALL_V Hall sensor input, phase W
3 HALL_U Hall sensor input, phase W
4 CHE+ Differential input E+ Differential output E+ Serial encoder I/O
5 CHB- Differential input B- Analog input B+ Quadrature encoder/SinCos/serial encoder/resolver input
6 CHB+ Differential input B+ Analog input B-
7 CHA- Differential input A- Analog input A- Quadrature encoder/SinCos/serial encoder/resolver input
8 CHA+ Differential input A+ Analog input A+
9 5V_OUT Encoder supply 5V output Encoder supply
10 GND Encoder supply ground
11 CHE- Differential input E- Differential output E- Serial encoder I/O
12 CHD- Differential input D- Differential output D- Serial encoder I/O, resolver coil drive
13 CHD+ Differential input D+ Differential output D+
14 CHC- Differential input C- Encoder index channel/serial encoder input
15 CHC+ Differential input C+

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.

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 # Pin name Description Connection
1 BK Motor brake output If motor has a 24V solenoid brake, connect brake between BK and V+
2 V+ 24V supply positive input Connect to 24V PSU +
3 V- 24V supply ground, on J1, J2.x and J5 connectors tied to GND 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.

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.


Pin # Pin name Descrpition AC/BLDC motor connection Brush DC motor connection
1 VN HV DC link negative rail Do not connect
2 BR Braking resistor output Optional braking resistor terminals. See Argon braking resistor
3 VP HV DC link positive rail
4 PE ⏚ Protective earth Connect to motor PE conductor and motor cable shield
5 U Motor phase output Motor U phase ¹ Motor armature+
6 V Motor phase output Motor V phase ¹ Motor armature-
7 W Motor phase output Motor W phase ¹ No connection
8 L AC mains supply Line Connect to AC supply line
9 N AC mains supply Neutral Connect to AC supply neutral
10 PE ⏚ Protective earth Connect to supply protective earth. This connection is always mandatory when any voltage larger than 30 VAC or 42 VDC is supplied to the device!

¹ In some motors U,V,W phases are called R,S,T instead.

Argon side connections & DIP switches

J5 Inputs/Outputs

J5 Is a 26 pin IDC connector located on the side of Argon. The connector serves as general purpose I/O including:

  • Isolated digital inputs (4 pcs) - used for limit & home switches and clear faults signal
  • Isolated digital outputs (4 pcs) - used for status indication
  • Differential analog inputs (2 pcs) - used as Analog setpoint
  • Differential digital inputs (2 pcs) - used for pulse/direction or second encoder
  • 5V and GND output - used for supplying switches or external electronics

Pin-out

Please see Argon I/O connector electrical interfacing before wiring to this port.

¹) This is the default function with stock firmware. Function may be different in future or custom firmware versions.

²) Non-isolated lines are referenced to GND pin / J3 V- terminal. Isolated lines have functional isolation between GND and other isolated +-/- pairs.

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.
