Notes
  • Dimension the wiring according to the application current ratings. Higher section is always preferred to minimize resistance and wire self-heating.

  • Recommended wire section is 20 mm² ~ 33.5 mm²

  • Never exceed the 9 Nm screw limit for the power connectors as this could cause permanent damage.
  • The torque generated by the cables or bus bars must never exceed 9 Nm in any axis. Take care to fasten the cables or bus bars to prevent unnecessary forces.

Extra capacitance

It is recommended to add extra capacitance to the main DC supply. The Titan Go has minimal DC bus capacitance that is enough to filter high frequency currents and is enough for battery powered applications. However it could not be enough in some cases and could damage the power supply by demanding excessive current ripple. Add at least a total capacitance of 5 µF/ A (motor phase RMS) to avoid stressing the power supply and minimize EMI problems. Use good quality DC link metalized polymer film capacitors with low ESR (suggested polypropylene).

Ring terminals and screws

Due to the high current ratings, ring terminals and screws are needed for the power terrminals. Following are shown the recommended part numbers.

Description

M8 allen screw, 12 mm length

Maximum torque

The maximum torque applied to the screws must never exceed 9 Nm. It can damage the connector and also the printed circuit board.


The following picture shows the correct order of the mechanical elements and extra comments for the assembly.

Micro Fit 3.0 connectors mating

All Titan Go Servo Drive signal and communication connections are based in Molex Micro-Fit™ 3 mm pitch connectors. Multi-core crimped cables can be used for wiring inputs, outputs, feedbacks and communications.

P1: Aux supply connector

Titan GO is self supplied from the DC bus using an internal DC/DC converter that starts at 60 V and works up to 850 V.

However, some applications require an independent auxiliary power supply to work with the power off. This can be done with connector P1.

This connector also includes a +24 V output that can be used for fans, relays or for STO circuits.

Notes

  • The internal logic supply can be monitored using the analog input 2.

MOLEX Micro-Fit connectors do not follow the typical pinout layout of other connectors such as pin headers or ribbon connectors.

Pay close attention not to connect them in a wrong order.
