The M60 is a Driver Interface and Power Supply board that allows a complete system to be built in one stack. Typically the M60 is mounted over the M41K board and connected with a ribbon cable. Motor drivers are thens snapped into the M60 to complete the system. Due to the way that the system is set up you can intermix 40V and 70V drives without making changes to the system. The correct voltage is automatically routed to eachd drive.
When you use an M60/M41K combination, the following lines are automatically connected through the
ribbon cable:
Drive Enable -- Drive Fault -- Step and Direction Outputs -- Limit Ground -- +5 Power -- Ground
When the Extratech transformer TOROID-100 is used in conjuction with the M60, the board produces...
| 5V | @ | 2.5 amps |
Already connected to an M41 board stack through the ribbon cable THIS IS AN OUTPUT, DO NOT CONNECT +5 and GROUND HERE! |
|
| 24V and 24V-limit |
@ | 1 amp | There are two taps for 24V, 24V-filtered is separated from 24V by a diode and a capacitor. Power limit switches off of 24V-limit, and normal loads off of 24V. The combination of the two supplies must not exceed 1 amp. | |
| 38V | @ | 7.7 amps | Used for motor drives in location MOT 1-4. The current supplied from this source, must not exceed 7.7amps INCLUDING the current through the 65V supply. | |
| 65V | @ | 5.7 amps | Used for high voltage drivers in location MOT 1-4. | |
All rectification and filtering takes place on the M60. No external devices are needed for normal applications.
The M60 supports 4 MMD-XX drives. The correct power voltage is automatically connected to each drive. Simply plug in the MMD of choice and run a cable to the motor. Motor connectors are supplied next to each drive and are clearly marked.
If any drive faults, a relay turns on. For M41K applications, the fault information is pre-wired to the rest of the board stack, and will cause Limit-8 to turn off, causing a limit detect so if enabled.
For non-M41 applications, a 3 pin header labeled FAULT OUT is provided.
N.O. = normally open, (closes on fault)
Comm = Common
N.C. = normally closed, (opens on fault)
When the M60 is used with an M41K, none of the following connections are needed, because they are pre-wired through the ribbon cable.
The M60 has been designed such that it can be used with other control systems. For this purpose, connector "Control Lines In" has been provided. (See the 10 pin connector in the below image)
A common ground with the controller is necessary.
Take Enable to +5V to enable the drives.
An open collector, or TTL driver can be used for step and direction.
A 34 pin ribbon cable is used to connect the M60 to the M41K.
When you use a M60/M41 combination,
Drive Enable
Drive Fault
Step and Direction Outputs
Limit Ground
+5 Power and Ground
are automatically connected through the ribbon cable.
