7I27 OPERATION
5V POWER
The 7I27 requires 5V power for its logic and MOSFET gate drive. This power can
be supplied from the controller connector or from the screw terminal strip TB2. Voltages
less than 4.5V will cause the 7I27 to be forced into a reset state.
If the controller cable is longer than 2 feet it is suggested the the 7I27 5V power be
supplied from the screw terminal. This is because of the voltage drop on the controller
cable.
MOTOR POWER
Motor power is supplied to the 7I27 on pin 3 of TB2. Motor power can range from
5 to 40 VDC with an absolute maximum value of 50VDC. Voltages HIGHER than 50VDC
will activate the voltage clamp, short out the power supply and blow the input fuses.
INDICATORS
Five LEDS are provided on the 7I27 for status monitoring. LED location are shown
on the board diagram. The LEDS function as follows:
MOTOR0 POWER LED RED MOTOR 0 POWER (FUSE F1)
MOTOR1 POWER LED RED MOTOR 1 POWER (FUSE F2)
MOTOR0 DRIVE LED RED/GREEN MOTOR 0 DRIVE / DIRECTION
MOTOR1 DRIVE LED RED/GREEN MOTOR 1 DRIVE / DIRECTION
5V POWER GOOD GREEN MONITORS 5V POWER STATUS
FUSES
The 7I27 has a 10A fuse provided for each channel. These fuses are adjacent to
TB2. F1 is the fuse for channel0 and F2 is the fuse for channel1. Replacement part is
LittleFuse PN 251010. Note that these fuses are socketed for easy replacement.
