Interfaces


12V Supply Interface

Connector

Connector type Molex PicoClasp 4 Pins
Mating part number 5019390400

Pins Description

picoclasp 4 pin pinout

Pin Signal Description
1 +12V +11V minimum, +13V maximum
2 +12V
3 GND
4 GND

NOTE:

This connection is required.

WARNING:

This connection is NOT hot pluggable. Ensure the system is powered down before removing or plugging in.


Ethercat Network Interface

Connector

Connector type Molex PicoClasp 5 Pins
Mating part number 5019390500

Pins Description

picoclasp 5pin pinout

Pin Signal Description
1 TX+ Differential transmit data + output
2 TX- Differential transmit data - output
3 GND Screen / Shield
4 RX+ Differential receive data + input
5 RX- Differential receive data + input

WARNING:

This connection is NOT hot pluggable. Ensure the system is powered down before removing or plugging in.


JCS Network Interface

Four independent JCS device network connectors. Supplies up to 2A (total for all ports) to devices attached to ports. For devices with isolated JCS network interfaces, supplies power to the external network side of the isolated interface.

Support for up to 15 devices on each port, however actual number of devices is heavily dependent on the desired network performance. As an example, for a fast network update rate of 1kHz and many signals being transmitted over the port, 3-4 devices may be the practical maximum before data time on the bus becomes a bottleneck. All ports communicate at 11 MBit.
