Connection description
Each connection level of the integrated stepper motor is designed with standardized connectors with LEDs to indicate the operating state of the connection. The LEDs on the compact integrated ASI8100 stepper motor drive provide you with information about the operating state. There are different light sequences for each operating state.
There are three connection levels on the B bearing plate of the ASI8100 integrated stepper motor drives.
The ASI8100 has an M12 connection [1] for the supply voltages.
The ASI8100 has two black M8 sockets [2] for two digital
I/Os with a voltage of 24 V DC.
The ASI8100 has two green M8 sockets [3] for connecting the incoming and outgoing EtherCAT signals.
Position | Function | Connection ID |
|---|---|---|
1 | Power connection | X5 |
2 | I/O connection | X3; X4 |
3 | EtherCAT connection | X1/IN; X2/OUT |
The integrated ASI8100 stepper motor drive has a connection (M12 socket, 5-pin, L-coded) at slot X5 for connecting the power supply. The ASI8100 requires a peripheral voltage UP (load voltage) and a control voltage US for operation.
To simplify topology configuration, you can use an EtherCAT Box for power distribution: EP9208-1035. This product provides the required voltages and features the appropriate connector. For more information, see Power supply.
The integrated ASI8100 stepper motor drive has a connector (M8 socket, 3-pin, A-coded) for integrated I/Os at slots X3 and X4. It is suitable for connecting end positions or external sensors and is designed as a fast digital input.
The integrated stepper motor drive ASI8100 is an EtherCAT slave and has two connections (M8 socket, 4-pin, A-coded, shielded) at slots X1 and X2 for the incoming and outgoing EtherCAT signals.
