1.

 

Power supply wiring 

Connect the signal cable (Order No. 

275932

) to the connector J14 of 

the EPOS 24/1. On the opposite side connect the red/blue (+Vcc) line 
and the white/green (Gnd) line to terminal blocks. Connect a power 
supply (+9 … +24 VDC) to the opposite side of the terminal blocks. 
The necessary output current is depending on load. (Continuous  
max. 1 A; acceleration, short-time max. 2 A) 
 

Note!

 Make sure that the supply voltage is b9 and +24 VDC. 

Voltages higher than +27 VDC or of wrong polarity will destroy the unit. 
 

2.

 

Connect the motor 

a.

 

EC motor 

Connect the EPOS 24/1 EC motor / hall sensor cable (Order No. 

302948

) to the connector J10 of the EPOS 24/1. On the opposite 

side connect to terminal blocks. Connect the motor Hall sensor and 
motor power lines to the opposite side of the terminal blocks. 

b.

 

DC motor 

Connect the EPOS 24/1 DC motor cable (Order No. 

303490

) to the 

connector J10 of the EPOS 24/1. On the opposite side connect to 
terminal blocks. Connect the motor power lines to the opposite side 
of the terminal blocks. 
 

3.

 

Connect EPOS encoder cable  

Connect the encoder cable (Order No. 

275934

) to the connector J11 of 

the EPOS 24/1. On the opposite side connect to the encoder of the 
motor. 
 

4.

 

Connect EPOS RS232-COM cable 

Connect the RS232-COM cable (Order No. 

275900

) to the connector 

J12 of the EPOS 24/1. On the opposite side connect to a free RS-232 
port of your computer. 
 

Note!

 If you do not use the maxon cables, you have to do the wiring using 

the ‘EPOS 24/1 Cable Starting Set’ manual.
