cnc4pc C86ACCP Clearpath Connector Board for the Acorn Controller

OVERVIEW
This board interface is used for the connection between Acorn CNC and the CLEARPATH SERVO DRIVE.

FEATURES

• Enable and disable the drives.
• Splits Step and Direction signals from axis X or Y to allow wiring an additionalaxis using the same signals.
• The board can be activated and start monitoring for a driver fault using theaxis enable or NO_FAULT signal.
• Electromechanical relay reflects the ACTIVE / FAULT Status of a servo.
• Power terminal (24VDC).
• Status LEDs for fault axis and relay status.
• Connector CONMOLEX 8P for driver CLEARPATH.
• Pluggable Screw-On Terminals

BOARD DESCRIPTION

REQUIREMENTS

Power Requirements
Regulated 24VDC@200mA is required to power this board.
WARNING Check the polarity and voltage of the external power source and connect the 24VDC and GND. Overvoltage or reverse-polarity power applied to these terminals can cause damage to the board, and/or the power source.

TERMINAL POWER
Regulated 12 or +24VDC@200mA is required to power this board.

ACTIVATING THE BOARD

Fault monitoring starts when the board is active. When the board is active the relay is activated and the green LED is on.
Two conditions must be met to activate the system and start monitoring for a fault:

1. At least one axis is receiving an active enable signal from the ACORN board or thejumper is set not to monitor the ACORN enable signals.
2. The contacts on the NO_FAULT terminal are closed. You can configure a relay andread the NO_FAULT signal from the ACORN, or you could just put a jumper on it ifnot used.

The board can be activated by the axis enable or the NO_FAULT signal, or a combination of both signals. It could also be hardwired to be permanently active if both inputs are jumped.

Operation Sequence:

1. Once the board gets enabled, it will take 5 seconds in order for it to start monitoringfor a fault. This to preserve compatibility with some drivers which may need time toactivate.
2. If a driver faults, the relay will trip and the green LED will go off. An LED indicatingthe which driver or drivers triggered the fault will light next to the RJ45 of the axisthat tripped the fault.

JUMPER TO SELECT THE ACTIVE AXIS

Set of jumpers as shown in the image:

Set of jumpers as shown in the image:

Note: Set the jumper to ON for connected axis and off if no drivers are connected.

SLAVE AXIS SELECT JUMPER WITH X AXIS OR Y AXIS

Set jumper 2-3 for X slave:

Set jumper 1-2 for Y slave:

Remove jumper if not use axis slave:

JUMPER TO SELECT THE ENABLE

Use Software Enable to keep the driver active only while the system is active. Set of jumpers as shown in the image.

Use Hardware Enable to keep the driver enabled all the time.

LED INDICATOR

When Status LED, (Green LED) lights, it indicates that the system is enabled.
