IMPORTANT NOTICE: PREREQUISITES FOR PERMISSION TO COMMENCE INSTALLATION
The ESCON 36/2 DC
is considered as partly completed machinery according to EU Directive 2006/42/EC,
Article 2, Clause (g) and
is intended to be incorporated into or assembled with other machinery or
other partly completed machinery or equipment
.
3.1 Generally applicable Rules
For each possible motor variant you will find information on the from/to connections and the cables you will
require. If you should decide not to use the ready-made maxon cables, you must establish the respective
connections as to
 chapter “3.4.7 ESCON 36/2 DC Connector Set” on page 3-28 and  chapter “4 Wiring”
on page 4-31.
Maximal permitted Supply Voltage
• Make sure that supply power is between 10…36 VDC.
• Supply voltages above 38 VDC, or wrong polarity will destroy the unit.
• Note that the necessary output current is depending on the load torque. Yet, the output current limits of
the ESCON 36/2 DC are as follows; continuous max. 2 A / short-time (acceleration) max. 4 A.
Hot plugging the USB interface may cause hardware damage
If the USB interface is being hot-plugged (connecting while the power supply is on), the possibly high poten-
tial differences of the two power supplies of controller and PC/Notebook can lead to damaged hardware.
• Avoid potential differences between the power supply of controller and PC/Notebook or, if possible, bal-
ance them.
• Insert the USB connector first, then switch on the power supply of the controller.
How to read the Wiring Details
The subsequent description follows this scheme:
• Column “
J… & Head A ”: Pin number…
– of the socket,
– of the corresponding plug, and
– of Head A of the matching prefab maxon cable.
• Column “ Prefab Cable ”: Wire color of the prefab maxon cable.
• Column “ Head B ”: Pin number of Head B of the matching prefab maxon cable.
WARNING
Risk of Injury
Operating the device without the full compliance of the surrounding system with EU Directive
2006/42/EC may cause serious injuries!
• Do not operate the device, unless you have made completely sure that the other machinery fully com-
plies with the EU directive’s requirements!
• Do not operate the device, unless the other machinery fulfills all relevant health and safety aspects!
• Do not operate the device, unless all respective interfaces have been established and fulfill the
