Connections
The actual connection will depend on the overall configuration of your drive system and the type of
motor you will be using.
For each connector you will find detailed information on the pin assignment, the available accessories
and prefab cable assemblies, the requirements that must be met, if any, and the circuitry.
How to read pin assignment tables
In the later course of the document you will find tables containing information on the EPOS4’s hardware
connectors, their wired signals and assigned pins as well as details on the available prefab cables.
• The first column describes both the pin number of the connector and of the matching prefab maxon
cable’s Head A.
• The second column describes the cable core color of the prefab maxon cable.
• The third column describes the pin number of the prefab maxon cable’s Head B.
Follow the description in given order and choose the wiring diagram (
