• Power option up to 48V and 30A main supply current
• MOSFET power stage supporting 3-phase BLDC motors
• Current measurement on 2-phases (3 phase measurement is optional)
• On-board temperature sensor and 1-wire bus connector for additional sensors
• Encoder input capable of receiving both single ended and differential signals

General Safety Instructions

• This product should be operated only by qualified electrical specialist only.
• Never leave an operating board unattended.
• There is a possible risk of burns due to the hot surfaces while operating the EDPS board. Reason for this could be an EDPS Board because of the high currents present in the motor driving outputspower stage heating the board surfaces and the board components.
• All externally connected power sources must be SELV protected (Separated or Safety Extra Low Voltage).
• All wiring and installation should be performed only with all external power sources switched OFF or disconnected.
  
• No wiring or mechanical setup changes should be performed while the board is operating.
  
• The product is rated for dry indoor , dry environment use only.
  
• The product is intended to be used only in horizontal position on a non-conducting and non-inflammable surface.
• The mechanical setup must ensure that the board and all of its parts are firmly fixed in place to prevent accidental or unwanted movement(e.g. sliding, falling. etc.).

On-Board Temperature Sensor

There is a on-board 1-Wire temperature sensor DS18S20Z+ from Maxim located in the middle of the PCB for optimal readings.
Addional 1-wire sensor(s) can be connected to the connector J16:

...

• Pin 1(DQ), 3 (GND),5 (+3.3V) at the same 1-wire bus as the onboard one
• Pin 2(DQ), 4 (GND),6 (+3.3V) at a separate 1-wire bus

Power and Power-On Sequence

DC 12V power supply for the Motor and Driver board

The power source must be SELV (Separated or safety extra-low voltage) protected.

...

The internal +5V digital supply is generated from this +12V supply.

DC 5...48V power supply for the Motor only

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

External power supply for the motor must be SELV (Separated or safety extra-low voltage) protected.

• only allowed to be used for electrical specialist for the used electrical voltage and power conditions
• only allowed to be used under electrical laboratory conditions
• only allowed to be used in horizontal position on a non-conducting and non-inflammable surface
• only allowed to be used with a wiring, which fulfills the current rating for the maximum possible currents.
• only allowed to be used with a suitable current limiting circuit such that the maximum continuous current does not exceed 30A as follows:
  • The delivered fuse "Littelfuse Type 142.5631.5302" must be used as current limiter between connectors J5 and J6.
  • To limit the current for smaller motor loads an ADDITIONALL appropriate current limiter can be used e.g. a current limited power source or a fuse integrated in the wiring.
    
• only allowed to be used with appropriate connectors at the M5 screw connectors, which means M5 cable lugs must be used and fastened according to technical standards.
  

• only allowed to be used, if the

The cable lugs used should be isolated in the outer border area of the Drive EDPS Board.

Make sure that the Isolating PCB Cover is overlapping the conducting material by a minimum of 20 mm.

Initial Operation

Prepare the EDPS board as follows:

1. In the case of low-powered motors and/or low-powered power supply it is recommended to use additional current limiter circuit or additional fuse.
2. Mount the delivered 30A fuse to the connectors J5 and J6 with the delivered M5 screws.
3. Use at most 3m long cable with lugs to connect the positive terminal of the motor power supply to J6 (DC +5..48V) and the negative terminal to J1 (0V).
4. Use at most 3m long cable to connect the three motor phases to J2 (A), J3 (B) and J4 (C).
5. Connect 12V power supply to J7 (12V). In the case motor power supply voltage is 12V as well, one power supply can be used.
6. Optional: Connect the encoder to J10 or J11 and set jumper field J13 according to the signal specification either to differential or to single ended configuration.

Power-On Sequence

Any power sequence of the three supply sources is allowed:

• +3V3 Supply from the Control Board, generated by Control Board supply
• +12V and
• Optional +5..48V Motor Supply

Adapter Board TEC0060

For easy connection of the reference Reference Motor and Encoder to the EDPS Board a special Motor Adapter Board TEC0060 is included in the EDDP Kit.

Figure 8: Reference Motor Adapter Board TEC0060 with the Reference Motor and Plastic DEMO load attached.

Reference Motor

The reference motor is Reference Motor and Encoder are manufactured by Anaheim Automation. The order code for the motor with the encoder already mounted is BLWR111D-24V-10000-1000SI. Please note that the encoder is not available separately. The nominal motor voltage is DC 24V, however, only 12V is supplied by the Reference Motor Board, which results in reduced performance.

Refer to the BLWR11 - Brushless DC Motors and Single-Ended Encoder with Index Channel for more information.
