MOTHERBOARD DESIGN GUIDE
The following provides helpful information on integrating the ESCON Module 24/2 on a printed circuit board.
The «Motherboard Design Guide» contains recommendations for the layout of the motherboard and speci-
fies external components that may be required, pin assignments, and connection examples.
Bring in additional Support:
If you are not trained in the design and development of printed circuit boards, you will need additional sup-
port for this point.
maxon will be happy to provide you with a quote for designing and manufacturing a motherboard for your
specific application.

Requirements for Components of Third-party Suppliers
5.1.1
Socket Headers
The ESCON Module 24/2’s implementation with pin headers permits mounting in two different ways. The
module can either be plugged onto a socket header (
Table 5-12) or be directly soldered to a printed cir-
cuit board.
5.1.2
Supply Voltage
To protect the ESCON Module 24/2, we recommend using an external circuit breaker, a TVS diode, and a
capacitor in the voltage supply cable. In this regard, please note the following recommendations:
Figure 5-23
Wiring of Voltage Supply Cable
INPUT FUSE (FU1)
An input fuse (FU1) is necessary in order to provide reverse polarity protection. Together with an unipolar
TVS diode (D1), this prevents current from flowing in the wrong direction.
CAUTION
Dangerous Action
Errors in implementing the Design can result in serious Injury!
• Only proceed if you are skilled in electronics design!
• Designing a printed circuit board requires special skills and knowledge and may only be performed by
experienced electronic developers!
• This quick guide is only intended as an aid, does not make any claim to completeness, and will not
automatically result in a functional component!
