30 VIX IM MICROSTEPPER INDEXER DRIVE USER GUIDE
Motor Overtemperature Sensor
Standard Parker stepper motors do not use an over-temperature sensor, however when
using custom motors provision is made for the connection of either a thermal switch or
thermistor device. The following devices are supported:
• Thermik SNM130ES
• Cantherm F11 110-2-5 U106
Other ptc thermistors with a switch like characteristic are supported to DIN44081/44082.
The input requires a normally closed switch to be connected to GND on X2 pin 3 or 6.
If you use a custom motor with no overtemperature sensor fitted, make sure you leave the
‘Thermal sensor fitted’ check box un-checked in the Custom Motor Set Up screen, within
Easi-V to prevent an overtemperature fault being reported. This is the default setting in
Easi-V.
X3 Connector
X3 is the RS232/RS485 communications connector. RJ45 connectors X6 and X7 may also
be used for inter-drive communications where multi-axis systems are used.
RS485 Operation
RS485 operation is only possible on drives fitted with the appropriate FEM (Fieldbus
Expansion Module). If you require this feature please order the ViX – CM drive type.
Connector Type
Connector type is a 9-way D-type socket.
