and 1,000 watts and utilize a 44 pin (2 x 22) 50-mil header for signal connections and a 7-pin high current connector
for the DC bus and motor connections.
There are 36 different ION/CME N-Series Digital Drives in all, consisting of the combinations of four motor types
(step motor, Brushless DC, DC Brush, Multi-Motor), three host interfaces (Serial, CAN/SPI, Ethernet), and three
power levels (low, medium, high). Note that multi-motor units allow the motor type, either Brushless DC, DC Brush,
or step motor, to be user programmed.
1.2 Developer Kit Overview
The ION/CME N-Series Digital Drive Developer Kits are integrated board/software packages that serve as a
mechanical, electrical, and software design tool for prototyping and building systems with N-Series ION Drives.
The core of each developer kit is an interconnect board that provides convenient connections to your PC, the motor
hardware, and other peripherals that will be used in your application.
As shown in Figure 1-2 the N-Series ION is mounted in between a metallic heat sink base (which also serves the
purpose of providing a footing for bench-top use) and the DK interconnect board which provides the connectors.
Alternatively you can remove the metallic heat sink base and mount the N-Series ION with attached DK interconnect
board directly on your machine hardware. For exact dimensions of the N-Series ION refer to
Section 3.6, “Physical
Dimensions.”
1.3 Developer Kit Part Numbers
1.3.1 Pre-Assembled Developer Kits
The following N-Series Drive Developer Kits are fully assembled and installed with a multi-motor ION unit type.
These various P/Ns represent three different host interface types (serial, CAN/SPI, Ethernet) and three different
power levels (low, medum, high):
DK P/N ION P/N Installed Host Interface Power Level
DK481S0056/02 DD481S0056/02 Serial Low
DK481S0056/06 DD481S0056/06 Serial Medium
