Power Connector

The power connector supplies 24V to the EtherCAT slave and the motor separately. These two can be tied together so both are off the same power supply.

...

  • The CM1M9-4F-4000 is 24AWG with conductor resistance less than of 97.5Ω/km
    • The HF version with EXT-3D cable has a resistance of 91.1Ω/km

  • NOTE: There is no reverse polarity protection. Ensure the 24V power is connected correctly before powering the unit.
  • Maintaining EtherCAT power and switching off motor drive power will
    • retain motor position 
    • remove any ability for the motor to be driven (as power to the motor drive has been removed).
