Connectors and Interfaces
DC Bus / 12V Supply Interface
Connector
| Connector type | Molex PicoBlade 4 Pins |
| Mating part number | 0510210400 |
Pins Description
| Pin | Signal | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | |
| 2 | GND | |
| 3 | +12V | +11V minimum, +13V maximum |
| 4 | +12V |
NOTE:
This connection is required to power the internal circuitry.
WARNING:
This connection is NOT hot pluggable. Ensure the system is powered down before removing or plugging in.
Fan/Pump Channel Interface
The fan/pump channel interface follows that of a typical 4-pin computer style fan or pump. Usually, computer style fans or pumps are fitted with through hole Molex KK style connectors. The fan/pump controller employs Molex PicoBlade connectors to reduce the overall size (and somewhat negligibly, the mass) of the unit and to allow it to be more readily integrated into a mobile robot.
If your fan or pump comes with the Molex KK connector it will be required to remove the connector and replace it with a Molex PicoBlade 0510210400.
Connector
| Connector type | Molex PicoBlade 4 Pins |
| Mating part number | 0510210400 |
Pins Description
| Pin | Signal | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground/return (Black) |
| 2 | +12V | +12V supply voltage (Yellow) |
| 3 | SENSE | Speed sense / tacho input (Green) |
| 4 | PWM | Control / PWM output (Blue) |
3 Phase Motor Interface
Connector
| Connector type | 1.3mm PCB solder through holes |
Pins Description
| Pin | Signal | Description |
|---|---|---|
| A | A | Motor phase A connection |
| B | B | Motor phase B connection |
| C | C | Motor phase C connection |
WARNING:
This connection is NOT hot pluggable. Ensure the system is powered down before removing or plugging in.
JCS Network Interface
One network input connector and one network output connector. Interface is galvanically isolated. Power to the isolated side of the network is derived from the host device, eg a joint controller.
NOTE:
If this device is the last in a network chain the output must have the loop back connector installed.
WARNING:
This connection is NOT hot pluggable. Ensure the system is powered down before removing or plugging in.
