Joint Input Power Instructions

Power Voltage and Rated Power

The power supply uses 24VDC (the factory-set minimum allowable bus voltage is 20V, and the recommended maximum bus voltage is 30V). The driver will trigger an overvoltage fault when detecting a voltage exceeding 35V, and an under-voltage alarm will occur when detecting a voltage below 20V.

WHJ30-8024V188W
WHJ60-10024V292W

Limit Values of Joint Voltage

The maximum voltage that the joint power interface can withstand is DC38V. An input voltage exceeding 38V may easily lead to driver failure. When using a switch to control the joint power supply, there may be an overvoltage impact (>38V) at the moment of power-on. For this power supply method, a polarized capacitor (reference specification: 820uF, 50V) should be connected in parallel after the switch and before the joint power input to suppress the overvoltage phenomenon at the moment of power-on.

When using a 24V switch-mode power supply, it is necessary to connect the protective device provided by our company to protect the switch-mode power supply and absorb the counter electromotive force.

When using a battery for power supply, there is no need to consider the influence of counter electromotive force, because the counter electromotive force of the joint will directly charge the battery; if the battery power is small, the protective device provided by our company can also be connected to make the system more reliable.

Joint Positive Rotation Direction

Facing the output end of the reducer, the positive rotation direction of the joint is counterclockwise. This direction cannot be modified. The rotation direction of the joint is determined by the direction of the target command, which is issued by the controller end.

Cable Connection between Multi-joint Modules

Power Wiring Method Instructions

Chain topology connection; if the power of a single joint is large, it can also be connected directly.

Chain Topology

CANFD Communication Wiring Diagram

  1. CANFD communication lines use twisted pair cables, with a data transmission rate of 5Mbps, and chain topology connection;
  2. A 120Ω terminal resistor (very important) needs to be connected in parallel at the CAN interface of the controller end and the end servo;
  3. Ensure that the CAN ID of each joint module is set uniquely;

Due to different product configurations and different joint positions, the length requirements for CAN lines and power lines vary. Both CAN lines and power lines are of default length. If there are special length requirements, please contact us to make notes on the product order.

Battery Function

To power the multi-turn encoder and save the multi-turn count of the joint, preventing the loss of the equipment's zero position.

Reset the zero position, and a soft reset can be performed.
