IONI & IONICUBE user guide/List of things needed
- The list of necessary things to build a working servo system with IONI
- IONI drive and a compatible motherboard such as IONICUBE, IONICUBE 1X or a custom board
- SimpleMotion V2 USB adapter
- 1 or more RJ45 Ethernet cables (see details & examples)
- Regulated 24 VDC power supply, output capability at least 0.5A per motherboard
- Regulated or non-regulated 5-52 VDC power supply for motor power. Output capability depends on motor power draw. If unsure, then a good start is a power supply between 150 to 600 Watts for a multiaxis motherboard. As a reference, a typical 3 axis Nema 23 stepping motor system can be fed with a 150-200 W 48 V power supply. See:
- A IONI compatible motor
- Shielded power conductors as motor power cord. Non-shielded will also work but increase EMI and may be source of communication errors.
- Ferrite core EMI filters
- Motion controller. This may be also a software on a computer.
- Windows PC
- Optional but highly recommended items
- Emergency stop button (normally closed NC type) or equivalent
- Needed for high current motors (>5A average)
- A cooling fan
- Tools needed
- Screwdrivers
- Wire cutter
- Skills needed
- Qualified electrician skills
- Basic knowledge of servo systems
