X1 – CANopen/RS-485 IN

Connection for CANopen and RS-485 (Modbus RTU). Type: JST B5B-XH-A

Suitable Nanotec cable: ZK-XHP-5-500-S (not included in the scope of delivery)

RS-485 line polarization

Note: The controller is not equipped with line polarization and expects the master device to have one.
If the master device on the bus does not have line polarization of its own, a pair of resistors must be attached to the RS-485 balanced cables:
  • A pull-up resistor to a 5V voltage on the RS-485+ (D1) cable
  • A pull-down resistor to earth (GND) on the RS-485- (D0) cable
The value of these resistors must be between 450 ohm and 650 ohm. A 650 ohm resistor permits a higher number of devices on the bus.

In this case, a line polarization must be attached at a location for the entire serial bus. In general, this location should be on the master device or its connection. All other devices then no longer need to implement line polarization.

Voltage source

The operating or supply voltage supplies a battery, a transformer with rectification and filtering, or a switching power supply.

Note:
  • EMC: For a DC power supply line longer than 30 m or when using the motor on a DC bus, additional interference-suppression and protection measures are necessary.
  • ► An EMI filter is to be inserted in the DC supply line as close as possible to the controller/motor.
  • ► Long data or supply lines are to be routed through ferrites.
  • ► A capacitor of at least 4700 µF is to be connected to the supply voltage (parallel) as close to the controller as possible.

Pin assignment

Pin Function Note
1 +Ub 12 … 58 V DC
2 +UB Logic

12 … 30 V DC, input voltage for the optional logic supply and digital outputs

Current consumption without outputs: approx. 27 mA

3 GND
Note:

Should the main supply fail, the logic supply keeps the electronics, the encoder and the communication interface in operation.

The windings of the motor are not supplied by the logic supply.

Permissible operating voltage

The maximum operating voltage is 58 V DC. If the input voltage of the controller exceeds the threshold value set in 2034h, the motor is switched off and an error triggered. Above the response threshold set in 4021h:02h, the integrated ballast circuit is activated (wirewound resistor Z32041412209K6C000 from Vishay with 3 W continuous output).

The minimum operating voltage is 12 V DC. If the input voltage of the controller falls below 10 V, the motor is switched off and an error triggered.

A charging capacitor of at least 4700 µF / 50 V (approx. 1000 µF per ampere rated current) must be connected in parallel to the supply voltage to avoid exceeding the permissible operating voltage (e.g., during braking).

X7 – Micro USB

A cable of type "micro USB" is needed for this USB connection.

Switch S1 – Termination resistor RS-485

With this DIP switch, termination can be switched on (switch to ON) or off with 150 ohm between RS-485- and RS-485+.

Switch S2 – Termination resistor CANopen

With this DIP switch, termination can be switched on (switch to ON) or off with 120 ohm between CAN-L and CAN_H.

Switch DS – Default switch

To reset the communication settings:
  1. Short‑circuit the two copper openings (e.g. using a wire bridge).
  2. Do this for at least 3 seconds.
  3. The address and baud rate are then reset. The controller restarts automatically.

The following objects are affected:

Object Function Factory settings
2009h CANopen node-ID 127
2005h CANopen baud rate 136 (1 MBaud)
2028h Modbus slave address 5
202Ah Modbus baud rate 19200
202Dh Modbus parity 04h (Even)
