Specific Breakout Board

1. Product Overview

This series of breakout boards is specifically tailored for major brands of servo drivers, aimed at simplifying wiring complexity and enhancing system reliability. Through dedicated SCSI-50P cables, users can achieve Pin-to-Pin direct connection, eliminating tedious single-wire docking and significantly reducing the risk of wiring errors. The European-style terminals on the specific breakout boards are primarily used for connecting limit switches, breakpoints, and capture signals, which are independent of the motor driver and require separate connection.

The breakout boards are applicable to the following major servo motor brands:

  • Delta: ASDA-A2 / ASDA-B2
  • Panasonic: Minas A4 / A5 / A6
  • Yaskawa: SGDV / SGD7
  • Mitsubishi: MR-J4 / JE / MR-J2S

3. Functional Configuration and Wiring

3.1 System Architecture

Each motion control card can support two specific breakout boards. A single breakout board can control 2 axes, and a combination of two boards achieves complete 4-axis control.

3.2 Signal Connection

  • Servo Drive Signals (CN1 / CN2):
    • Connected directly to the driver via SCSI-50P cables.
  • Limit and Trigger Signals (T1 / T2 Terminal Blocks):
    • Limit Switch: Needs to be connected to T1/T2 terminals (providing 24V power).
    • Position Capture/Comparison (Capture/Breakpoint): Provides 5V TTL signal interfaces for synchronized triggering with external devices (e.g., cameras, DAQ).

4. Brand-Specific Wiring Details

4.1 Delta ASDA-B2

Delta B2 Board
  • SCSI-50P connectors (CN1 and CN2) can be connected to Delta ASDA-B2 servo drivers via pin-to-pin SCSI-50P cables.
