Requirements
• Make sure that all associated devices and components are installed according to local regulations.
• Be aware that, by principle, an electronic apparatus cannot be considered fail-safe. Therefore, you must
make sure that any machine/apparatus has been fitted with independent monitoring and safety equip-
ment. If the machine/apparatus should break down, if it is operated incorrectly, if the control unit breaks
down or if the cables break or get disconnected, etc., the complete drive system must return – and be
kept – in a safe operating mode.
• Be aware that you are not entitled to perform any repair on components supplied by maxon.

2.3 Limitations
2.5 Standards
The described device has been successfully tested for compliance with the below listed standards. In prac-
tical terms, only the complete system (the fully operational equipment comprising all individual components,
such as motor, servo controller, power supply unit, EMC filter, cabling etc.) can undergo an EMC test to
ensure interference-free operation.
Important Notice
The device’s compliance with the mentioned standards does not imply its compliance within the final, ready
to operate setup. In order to achieve compliance of your operational system, you must perform EMC testing
of the involved equipment as a whole.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: PREREQUISITES FOR PERMISSION TO COMMENCE INSTALLATION
The EPOS4 50/5 positioning controller is considered as partly completed machinery according to EU Direc-
tive 2006/42/EC, Article 2, Clause (g) and is intended to be incorporated into or assembled with other
machinery or other partly completed machinery or equipment.
WARNING
Risk of injury
Operating the device without the full compliance of the surrounding system with the EU Directive
2006/42/EC may cause serious injuries!
• Do not operate the device, unless you have made completely sure that the other machinery fully com-
plies with the EU directive’s requirements!
• Do not operate the device, unless the other machinery fulfills all relevant health and safety aspects!
• Do not operate the device, unless all respective interfaces have been established and fulfill the
requirements stated in this document!
Hot plugging/hot swapping the extension slots may cause hardware damage
Switch off the controller’s power supply before removing or inserting an extension card.
3.2 Cabling
PLUG&PLAY
Take advantage of maxon’s prefab cable assemblies. They come as ready-to-use parts and will help to
reduce commissioning time to a minimum.
a) Check the following table and find the part number of the cable assembly that matches the
setup you will be using.
b) Follow the cross-reference to get the cable’s pin assignment.
TOOLS
3.3 Connections
The actual connection will depend on the overall configuration of your drive system and the type of motor
you will be using.
For each connector you will find detailed information on the pin assignment, the available accessories and
prefab cable assemblies, the requirements that must be met, if any, and the circuitry.
Follow the description in given order and choose the wiring diagram (as of page 4-61) that best suits the
components you are using.
Use of X1 is mandatory
You must employ X1 to connect the controller to the electrical supply. Use X2 only if you wish to connect an
optional, separately wired logic supply.
Best practice
Keep the motor mechanically disconnected during the setup and adjustment phase.

1) Use the formula below to calculate the required voltage under load.
2) Choose a power supply according to the calculated voltage. Thereby consider:
a) During braking of the load, the power supply must be capable of buffering the recovered
kinetic energy (for example, in a capacitor).
b) If you are using an electronically stabilized power supply, make sure that the overcurrent pro-
tection circuit is configured inoperative within the operating range.

Best practice
• Differential signals offer good resistance against electrical interference. Therefore, we recommend
using a differential scheme. Nevertheless, the controller supports both schemes – differential and sin-
gle-ended (unsymmetrical).
• For best performance, we strongly recommend using encoders with a line driver. Otherwise, limita-
tions may apply due to slow switching edges.
• Even though 2-channel will do, we strongly recommend to use only 3-channel versions.

4 WIRING
In this section you will find the wiring information for the setup you are using. You can either use the consol-
idated wiring diagram (Figure 4-48) featuring the full scope of interconnectivity and pin assignment. Or
you may wish to use the connection overviews for either DC motor or EC (BLDC) motor that will assist you
in determining the wiring for your particular motor type and the appropriate feedback signals.
