Introduction
Ensemble Epaq Hardware Manual
Chapter 1: Introduction
Aerotech’s Epaq is a 3U height, 19” wide, rack-mountable, intelligent drive chassis, capable of powering up
to nine axes of motion. Six axes of motion control are available in one integrated, stand-alone package and
can be expanded to nine axes of motion control externally. This flexible configuration style allows users to
mix and match drive types (linear versus PWM, brush or brushless, stepper, etc.) within the same
positioning system using a common programming and control platform. Multiple Epaqs can be controlled
from one Windows PC through Ethernet or USB. Optional on-board encoder interpolation offers the user
programmable axis resolution (assuming a sine-wave encoder input signal), including the ability to change
interpolation (multiplication) values through software.

1.1. Electrical Specifications
The electrical specifications for the Epaq drive chassis are listed in Table 1-3 and the electrical
specifications for the servo amplifiers in Table 1-4.
N O T E : Specifications represent the maximum capability of a feature. Other system constraints may result in significantly less performance. This is particularly applicable to the motor output specifications. The
motor output specifications are affected by the Bus supply, the number of axes that are operating at the
same time, the type of motion, the AC Line voltage, and motor requirements.

The following equations can be used to determine total system power requirements. The actual power
required from the mains supply will be the combination of actual motor power (work), motor resistance
losses, and efficiency losses in the power electronics or power transformer.
For switching amplifier types:
An EfficiencyFactor of approximately 90% should be used in the following equations.
Brushless Motor
Output Power
Rotary Motors
Pout [W] = Torque [N·m] * Angular velocity[rad/sec]
Linear Motors
Pout [W] = Force [N] * Linear velocity[m/sec]
Rotary or Linear Motors
Pout [W] = Bemf [V] * I(rms) * 3
Ploss = 3 * I(rms)^2 * R(line-line)/2
Pin = SUM ( Pout + Ploss ) / EfficiencyFactor
DC Brush Motor
Pout [W] = Torque [N·m] * Angular velocity[rad/sec]
Ploss = I(rms)^2 * R
Pin = SUM ( Pout + Ploss ) / EfficiencyFactor
For linear amplifier types:
An EfficiencyFactor of approximately 50% should be used in the following equations.
Linear Motor
Pdiss[W] = MotorCurrentPeak[A] * TotalBusVoltage[V] * 3 / 2
Pin = SUM ( Pdiss ) / EfficiencyFactor

Installation and Configuration
Ensemble Epaq Hardware Manual
All low voltage connections must be made using cables/wires sized for the maximum currents that will be
carried. Insulation on these cables/wires must be rated at 300 V if this wiring can come into contact with
wiring operating above 100 V (AC & Motor wiring). Low voltage wiring should not be bundled with AC and
motor wiring to minimize signal disturbances due to EMI interference and coupling.
N O T E : Protective grounding is through the main power connection. The supply connection is the main
power cord (the main power disconnect).
N O T E : Confirm that the AC power is the correct voltage before connecting and turning on power to the
Epaq.
The external +5 Volt power is fused by re-settable (semiconductor) fuses located on the Rear Panel
Interface board. These fuses protect the system should a fault or overload condition occur with the optical
encoders, joystick, I/O bus, or Miscellaneous I/O connectors. This fuse will reset itself when the overload
condition is removed (power may also need to be turned off to reset the fuse). In addition to this fuse, each
drive module has a safety fuse.
Some Epaq systems may use +12 Volts for the limit switch supply (special request / requirements). The
Epaq can also provide an external +24 Volt output for Brake applications. The +24 V Brake output is only
provided when the Brake option is used.

serves as a mains disconnect. The main power fuses are located on the rear panel of the Epaq drive chassis
in the AC inlet (supplementary protection only). Standard AC input voltages along with the current

The temperature rating of the insulation must be at least 80ºC. Environmental conditions may necessitate
the need to meet additional AC wiring requirements or specifications. AC wiring should not be bundled with
signal wiring to minimize EMI coupling and interference.
D A N G E R : See the user documentation provided with your Ensemble Epaq system to
determine if the Ensemble Epaq chassis is limited to only one AC input voltage. Operation at
other voltages may result in damage to the Ensemble Epaq chassis.

2.1.2. Minimizing Conducted, Radiated, and System Noise
To reduce electrical noise, observe the following motor and input power wiring techniques.
1. Use shielded cable to carry the motor current and tie the shield to earth ground.
2. Use a cable with sufficient insulation. This reduces the capacitive coupling between the leads that, in
turn, reduces the current generated in the shield wire.
3. Provide strong earth ground connections to the amplifier and the motor. Offering electrical noise a low
impedance path to earth ground not only reduces radiated emissions, but also improves system
performance.
4. Motor cables must be physically separated from low level cables carrying encoder and IO signals.
5. User connections to the product must be made using shielded cables with metal D-style connectors
and back shells. The shield of the cables must be connected to the metal back shell in order for the
product to conform to the radiated emission standards.
6. The Epaq is a component designed to be integrated with other electronics. EMC testing must be
conducted on the final product configuration.
7. Ferrite beads or Aerotech’s FBF-1 or FBF-2 filter adapters, may be used on the motor leads to reduce
the effects of amplifier EMI/RFI, produced by PWM (pulse width modulation) amplifiers. Refer to the
FBF-1 and FBF-2 drawings on your installation device for more information on the ferrite beads.

2.1.3. I/O and Signal Wiring Requirements
The I/O, communication, and encoder feedback connections are typically low amplitude signals. Wire and
connectors used for signal wiring must be rated for at least 30 V and have a current capacity of at least .25
Amp. Wires and connectors used for low voltage power connections such as +5V must have a current
capacity of at least 1 Amp (encoder feedback +5V supply requires .6 Amps in some applications). In
applications where there are significant wire distances, a larger wire size is required to reduce the voltage
drops that occur along the wires. This increase is necessary to keep the voltage within tolerance at a remote
point.
When signal wiring is in close proximity to wiring operating at voltages above 60 Volts, the insulation rating
of the signal wiring must be rated for the higher voltage. Use signal wiring with a voltage rating of at least 300
Volts when it is in proximity to AC power or motor power wiring.

N O T E : Brushless motors are commutated electronically by the controller. The use of Hall effect devices
for commutation is recommended.
The drive requires that the Back-EMF of each motor phase be aligned with the corresponding Hall-effect
signal. To ensure proper alignment, motor, Hall, and encoder connections should be verified.
There are two methods for verifying motor connections: powered, through the use of a test program; and an
unpowered method using an oscilloscope. Both methods will identify the A, B, and C Hall/motor lead sets
and indicate the correct connections to the drive.
N O T E : If using standard Aerotech motors and cables, motor and encoder connection adjustments are
not required.

2.2.1.1. Powered Motor Phasing
To test the initial set of motor connections, run the MotorVerification.ab test program.
The program will attempt to move the motor forward in a positive (CW) direction. Depending on the
information that the program gathers during the test, you may be prompted to rearrange motor lead
connections and run the test again. Refer to Section 2.2.1. for connector pin output information.
W A R N I N G : The MotorVerification.ab program moves the motor in “Open-Loop” mode,
bypassing many of the standard safety faults.
W A R N I N G : It is recommended that rotary motors be disconnected from the stage/load
before running this test. Linear motor systems must be free from obstruction to prevent damage
to other components. Operators must remain clear of all moving parts during the test.
Hall Signal Phasing
With the information gathered while the program is running, the Hall signal wires may have to be swapped.
After the Hall sequence is correct, the program will determine if a commutation offset is required (and
calculate a value for the CommutationOffset1 axis parameter that will have to be entered into the parameter
editor). Refer to Section 2.3.2. for more information and connector pin output assignments.
Encoder Phasing
The MotorVerification.ab program also determines if the feedback wiring is correct. Follow the program
prompts to establish the correct feedback wiring. Refer to Section 2.3. for connector pin output assignments
and Section 2.3.1.3. for phasing information.
Feedback Monitoring:
The state of the encoder and Hall-effect device signals can be observed in the Motion Composer.
A “0” for the given Hall input indicates zero voltage or logic low, where a “1" indicates 5V or logic high.

2.2.1.2. Unpowered Motor and Feedback Phasing
Disconnect the motor from the controller and connect the motor in the test configuration shown in Figure 2-7.
This method will require a two-channel oscilloscope, a 5V power supply, and six resistors (10,000 ohm, 1/4
watt). All measurements should be made with the probe common of each channel of the oscilloscope
connected to a neutral reference test point (TP4, shown in Figure 2-7).
To determine the relative phasing/order of the three motor lead signals in relation to each other, connect
channel 1 of the oscilloscope to TP1. Connect channel 2 to TP2 and move the motor in the positive direction
(CW) by hand. Note the peak of the sine wave signal of channel 1 in comparison to the peak of the sine wave
signal of channel 2. Next, disconnect channel 2 from TP2 and reconnect it to TP3 and again move the motor
in the positive direction. Note the peak of the sine wave signal of channel 3 in comparison to the peak of the
sine wave signal of channel 1.
Aerotech phasing configuration expects ØC to be the lead signal (in time), ØB to follow it, and ØA to follow
ØB. This means that whichever signal has its sine wave peak farthest to the left should be designated as the
ØC signal.

After the motor leads have been tested, the next step is to determine the phase of the Hall signals. The
required (by an Aerotech system) relationship between motor and Hall leads is that the peak of a motor lead
signal should correspond to the low voltage phase of the Hall signal (the relationship is shown in Figure 2-8).
With channel 1 still connected to one of the motor leads, connect channel 2 of the oscilloscope to TP5, TP6,
and then TP7, while advancing the motor in the positive direction after each connection. Note which of the
three Hall signals has the complimentary phase relationship to the motor lead that channel 1 is connected to
(as shown in Figure 2-8).
Move channel 1 of the oscilloscope to the second motor lead and repeat the steps from above. Note which
Hall signal corresponds to the currently selected motor lead and repeat the process for the 3rd motor lead.

2.2.3.1. Stepper Motor Phasing
A stepper motor can be run with or without an encoder. If an encoder is not being used, phasing is not
necessary. With an encoder, test for proper motor phasing by running a positive motion command.
If there is a positive scaling factor (determined by the CountsPerUnit1 parameters) and the motor moves in a
clockwise direction, as viewed looking at the motor from the front mounting flange, the motor is phased
correctly. If the motor moves in a counterclockwise direction, swap the motor leads and re-run the
command.
Proper motor phasing is important because the end of travel (EOT) limit inputs are relative to motor rotation.

2.3.1. Encoder Interface
The Epaq is equipped with standard and auxiliary encoder feedback channels. The standard encoder
interface is accessible through the feedback connector. The standard interface is a line driver encoder that
will accept an RS-422 differential line driver signal. If the drive had been purchased with the -MXU option, the
standard encoder interface has been configured to accept an analog encoder.
Refer to Section 2.3.1.3. for encoder feedback phasing. Refer to Section 3.7. for the auxiliary encoder
channel.
N O T E : Encoder wiring should be physically isolated from motor, AC power and all other power wiring.
N O T E : The PSO feature is not compatible with the -MXU option. The PSO feature operates with the MXH option and with square wave encoders.
N O T E : If the Feedback Connector is factory configured for the -MXU option, it cannot be used with a
square wave encoder.

2.3.1.3. Encoder Phasing
Incorrect encoder polarity will cause the system to fault when enabled or when a move command is issued.
Figure 2-19 illustrates the proper encoder phasing for clockwise motor rotation (or positive forcer movement
for linear motors). To verify, move the motor by hand in the CW (positive) direction while observing the
position of the encoder in the diagnostics display (see Figure 2-20). The MotorVerification.ab program can be
used if the motor can not be moved by hand. If the program causes the Position Feedback to count more
negative, swap the connections to the controllers SIN and the SIN-N encoder inputs.
However, if this axis is configured for dual loop with two feedback devices (one for position and one for
velocity feedback), invert the sign of only the parameter associated with the incorrectly phased feedback
device. For dual loop systems, the velocity feedback encoder is displayed in “Auxiliary Encoder Input” in the
Diagnostic display.

2.3.3. Thermistor Interface
The thermistor input is used to detect an over temperature condition in a motor using a positive temperature
coefficient sensor. As the temperature of the sensor increases, so does the resistance. Under normal
operating conditions, the resistance of the thermistor is low (i.e., 100 ohms) which will result in a low input
signal. If the increasing temperature causes the thermistor’s resistance to increase, the signal will be seen
as a logic high, triggering an over temperature fault.

2.3.4. End Of Travel Limit Input Interface
End of Travel (EOT) limits are required to define the end of the physical travel on linear axes. Positive or
clockwise motion is stopped by the clockwise (CW) end of travel limit input. Negative or counterclockwise
motion is stopped by the counterclockwise (CCW) end of travel limit input. The Home Limit switch can be
parameter configured for use during the home cycle, however, the CW or CCW EOT limit is typically used
instead. All of the end-of-travel limit inputs accept 5-24 VDC level signals. Limit directions are relative to the
encoder polarity in the diagnostics display (refer to Figure 2-23).
The active state of the EOT limits is software selectable (by the EndOfTravelLimitSetup1 axis parameter).

2.4. Emergency Stop Sense Input (ESTOP)
There are two emergency stop options for the Epaq, -ESTOP0 and -ESTOP1.
W A R N I N G : The machine integrator, OEM, or end user is responsible for performing the
design, integration, and test of the safety system in accordance with the relevant safety
standards. This responsibility includes the use of safety monitoring devices, interlocks,
switches, light curtains and all other means of providing operator protection.
The -ESTOP0 option provides the user with a mushroom switch on the front panel of the unit, whose action
is defined by the controllers software parameters. As such, it does not meet most user's requirements for an
emergency stop circuit. ESTOP0 is not compliant with EN ISO 13849-1.
The -ESTOP1 option provides the user with an internal positive guided relay, which when triggered by the
operator, will open, removing the AC power from the motors DC power supply, and will additionally open the
normally closed relay at J70 pins 3 and 4, which is used by the external portion of the ESTOP circuit for
cross-checking. No ESTOP switch is provided. The user may connect their own ESTOP switch (or series
chain of switches) to J70 pins 9 and 10, as illustrated in the figure below (refer to Figure 2-29 for connector
pin location). ESTOP1 is rated Category 2 and PL d in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1.

2.5. Communicating with the Epaq
Either USB or Ethernet can be used to connect any of the supplied software applications or a custom
application built with the supplied .NET library to the controller. Ethernet sockets are also available for
Modbus or general ASCII communication with another hardware device. RS-232 can be used for general
ASCII communication with another hardware device, but can not be used with the supplied software
applications.
2.5.1. USB Interface
The USB connection is established through a Type B female connector labeled USB on the back panel of the
Epaq. This can be accomplished by one of these two methods:
Method 1: Directly connect to the PC with a standard USB cable. The cable connector type must be
Type A or Type B male depending on the PC, and Type B male on the Epaq.
Method 2: Connect through a USB hub. The cable connector type must be Type A or Type B male
depending on the hub, and Type B male on the Epaq.
Method 1 is the most commonly used. Method 2 is necessary only when the number of Epaqs to be
connected is larger than the number of available USB ports on the PC.

2.5.2. Ethernet Interface
The Ethernet interface is the high-speed communications media to the Epaq. Command and configuration
information is sent through this interface.
The Ethernet connection is established through the RJ-45 connector labeled ENET on the back panel of the
Epaq. Connection is accomplished by one of these two methods:
Method 1: Directly connect to the PC with an RJ-45 crossover cable.
Method 2: Connect through a network with a standard RJ-45 cable.
Method 1 is the most secure because is guarantees that the only members of the network are the Epaq and
the PC. This type of connection is not feasible unless the PC has two Ethernet cards. If the PC cannot be
connected to an external network, Aerotech recommends Method 2.
Method 2 is a more typical configuration. The network can be a local network (the PC and Epaq are
connected through a hub or switch) or remote (the devices are connected through a router). When connecting
to a remote network, a crossover cable cannot be used; instead, there must be a hub, switch, or router
interface between the PC and the Epaq.

Brake Power Supply Connector Location
Typically the brake is wired directly to the Motor Feedback connector and the brake power supply is
connected to the Brake Power Supply connector (see Figure 3-4). The brake can also be connected in series
with the Brake Power Supply and interlocked using Motor Feedback brake pins (see Figure 3-5).
A varistor must be connected across the brake to minimize high voltage transients.
The brake output can be software configured; refer to the Ensemble Help file for more information (see topics
for the EnableBrakeControl1 axis parameter and the BRAKE command).
When the Brake Power Supply connector is used to power the solid state brake control relay, the mechanical
brake control relay present on the I/O board should not be used.
N O T E : The brake power supply must be externally fused.

3.3. Analog Input 1
On ML amplifiers, Analog Input 1 is a 16-bit differential input that accepts a voltage in the range of ±10 volts
with a resolution of 305 µVolts.
On MP amplifiers, Analog Input 1 is a 12-bit differential input that accepts a voltage in the range of ±10 volts
with a resolution of 305 µVolts.
Signals outside of this range may damage the input. To interface to a single-ended (non-differential) voltage
source, connect the signal common of the source to the negative input, and the analog source signal to the
positive input. A floating signal source should be referenced to the signal common (pin 1, AGND) as shown
in Figure 3-7. AXIS 1

The outputs are software configurable as sourcing or sinking. The outputs are driven by PS2802-4 optoisolators rated for 24 volts maximum and up to 80 mA/output @ 20°C.
Outputs must be connected in either all sinking or all sourcing mode. Figure 3-11 and Figure 3-12 illustrate
how to connect to an output in current sinking and current sourcing modes, respectively.
N O T E : Power supply connections must always be made to both the Output Common Plus (OP) and
Output Common Minus (OM) pins as shown in Figure 3-11 and Figure 3-12.

Suppression diodes must be installed on outputs driving relays or other inductive devices. This protects the
outputs from damage caused by inductive spikes. Suppressor diodes, such as the 1N914, can be installed
on all outputs to provide protection. It is important that the diode be installed correctly (normally reversed
biased). See Figure 3-12 for an example of a current sinking output with diode suppression and Figure 3-11
for an example of a current sourcing output with diode suppression.

3.7. Auxiliary Encoder Channel/PSO Output
The auxiliary encoder interface accepts a 5 VDC RS-422 differential quadrature line driver signal. It accepts
a 10 MHz (max) encoder signal frequency (25 nsec minimum edge separation), producing 40 million counts
per second, after times four (x4) quadrature decoding.
This encoder channel can be used as an input for master/slave operation (handwheel) or for dual feedback
systems. The auxiliary encoder interface does not support analog encoders and cannot be used as an input
for the -MXH or -MXU option.
The auxiliary encoder channel can also be used to echo the standard encoder signals or as the PSO output.
Configuring the PSO hardware will automatically configure this encoder channel as an output (refer to
Section 3.7.1.) and will remove the 180 ohm terminator resistors.
N O T E : Use the EncoderDivider parameter to configure the bi-directional encoder interface on the auxiliary I/O connector. The EncoderDivider parameter converts the auxiliary encoder interface to an output
and defines a divisor for the encoder echo. Refer to the Ensemble Help file for more information.
N O T E : You cannot echo the standard encoder signals on the Epaq with the -MXU option.

3.7.1. Position Synchronized Output (PSO)/Laser Firing (Aux Enc Connector)
The Ensemble Epaq includes a Position Synchronized Output (PSO) feature. The PSO output is available on
the dual function AUXMRK± differential signal lines (use of an RS-422 line receiver or opto-isolator is
recommended). The auxiliary marker must be configured as an output using the PSOOUTPUT CONTROL
command, see the Ensemble Help file for specific details.
The PSO can be programmed to generate an output synchronized to the encoder position, typically used to
fire a laser or sequence an external device. Trigger signals may be derived from the standard encoder
channel, auxiliary encoder channel, or a software trigger. The synchronized output pulse is generated using
high-speed hardware, allowing minimal latency (200 nanoseconds) between the trigger condition and the
output.
N O T E : When using the MRK± signals with single-ended systems, do not connect MRK+ or MRK- to
GROUND (GND).
The PSO can track an encoder with a maximum data (count) rate of 16.7 MHz (single axis tracking). Signals
in excess of this rate will cause a loss of PSO accuracy.
Multi-axis PSO can track encoder signals with a maximum data rate of 8.33 MHz. Signals in excess of this
rate will cause a loss of PSO accuracy. Software controlled PSO pre-scalars may be used to limit the data
rate of each encoder being tracked without affecting the servo loop data rate.

4.1. Joystick Interface
Aerotech joysticks JI (NEMA12 (IP54) rated) and JBV are powered from 5V and have a nominal 2.5V output
in the center detent position. Two switches are used to select axis pairs and speed ranges. An optional
interlock signal is used to indicate to the controller that the joystick is present. Joystick control will not
activate unless the joystick is in the center location. Third party devices can be used provided they produce
a symmetric output voltage within the range of -10V to +10V.
Refer to the Ensemble Help file for programming information about how to change joystick parameters.

checked and repairs made if necessary.
Remove any accumulated material from vents.
Any fluids or electrically conductive material must
not be permitted to enter the Epaq.
Tighten or re-secure any loose connections.
Replace worn or frayed cables. Replace broken
connectors.
Cleaning
The Epaq chassis can be wiped with a clean, dry, soft cloth. The cloth may be slightly moistened if required
with water or isopropyl alcohol to aid in cleaning if necessary. In this case, be careful not to allow moisture to
enter the Epaq or onto exposed connectors / components. Fluids and sprays are not recommended because
of the chance for internal contamination, which may result in electrical shorts and/or corrosion. The electrical
power must be disconnected from the Epaq while cleaning. Do not allow cleaning substances or other fluids
to enter the Epaq or to get on to any of the connectors. Avoid cleaning labels to prevent removing the label
information.

Appendix C: Chassis Disassembly
Aerotech, Inc. does not recommend opening the chassis to replace or change parts. Aerotech, Inc. does not
consider there to be any user-serviceable parts inside of the Epaq chassis.
The Epaq should returned to the factory for a faulty amplifier.
Under normal operation, a fuse should never blow. A blown fuse indicates a more serious problem and
service should be contacted ([email protected]). Refer to Figure 5-3 for amplifier fuse location. The IO
option board (Figure 5-5) does not have any user-serviceable fuses.
D A N G E R : To minimize the possibility of electrical shock and bodily injury when servicing the
equipment, ensure that all electrical power switches are in the off position and disconnect main
power (Mains disconnect).
W A R N I N G : All service and maintenance must be performed by qualified personnel.
D A N G E R : Residual voltages greater than 60V may be present inside the Ensemble Epaq
chassis for longer than 5 seconds after power has been disconnected.
