3. Interface Detailed Definition

Power supply and CAN communication/RS485/PWM terminals

The onboard terminal model is XT30PB(2+2)-M, and the mating cable-end connector is XT30(2+2)-F, both manufactured by AMASS.

In PWM mode, the CANH pin functions as the PWM signal input.

In pulse mode,

  • CANH serves as the pulse signal input,

  • CANL functions as the pulse direction input.

Note: In versions that support RS485, the CANH and CANL pins also serve as the RS485 A/B differential signal lines.

4. Type-C Debug Interface

The Type-C port uses a standard data cable specification and is compatible with commonly used Type-C cables from PCs or smartphones.

5. Expansion Slot Interface

This slot is designed to provide a variety of inter-board expansion interfaces, allowing third-party developers to design custom expansion boards.

Note: This expansion interface is no longer available starting from hardware version 3.9 and later.

SteadyWin GIM60-10-8 Joint Motor 5NM-4

Third-party developers can interact with the driver via various interfaces such as SPI, USART, I2C, PWM, ADC, and GPIO, enabling a wide range of custom expansion features.

  • Onboard slot model: X0812FVS-20CS-9TV01 (female connector)

  • Expansion board slot model: X0812WVS-20AS-9TV01 (male connector)

6. SWD Debug Interface

The SWD interface consists of 2 mm pitch through-holes. Users can solder a 2 mm single-row pin header for debugging purposes, as shown in the figure below:

7. Secondary Encoder Interface

This interface uses 2 mm pitch through-holes. Users may solder a 2 mm single-row pin header, as described in the previous section.
It supports communication with a secondary encoder via USART (TX/RX) or I2C (SCL/SDA).

8. Motor Temperature Interface

The motor includes a built-in 10 kΩ NTC thermistor.
Two wires from the thermistor should be soldered to the MOT_TEMP and GND pads.
There is no polarity requirement for the wiring.

9. Brake / Braking Resistor Interface

The upper two solder pads in the pin header area are reserved for the brake or braking resistor interface, using 2 mm pitch holes. Users may solder a 2 mm single-row pin header as needed.

  • When used as a brake (holding brake) interface:
    The driver outputs a continuous current to this interface upon power-up to release the brake, allowing the motor to rotate freely.
    If the driver loses power, the output current stops, the brake engages, and the motor will lock at its current position.

  • When used as a braking resistor interface:
    An external braking resistor (also known as a dump resistor) can be connected to this interface.
    When the back electromotive force (EMF) exceeds the threshold voltage, the braking resistor will dissipate the energy to prevent failure of emergency braking or potential damage to the driver from overvoltage.

10. Limit Switch Interface

The driver provides two limit switch interfaces, along with a 12V power supply for external limit switches. The interface consists of 2 mm pitch pin holes, and users may solder a 2 mm single-row pin header as needed.

  • LW1: Minimum position limit switch

  • LW2: Maximum position limit switch

Both 2-wire switches and 3-wire NPN switches are supported for external connection.
