About the Device
Capabilities of the
device, included
features, and sup-
ported motors.
maxon’s EPOS4 50/5 is a small-sized, full digital, smart positioning control unit. Its high power density
allows flexible use for brushed DC and brushless EC (BLDC) motors up to approximately 250 Watts with
various feedback options, such as Hall sensors, incremental encoders as well as absolute sensors in a mul-
titude of drive applications.
The device is specially designed to be commanded and controlled as a slave node in a CANopen network.
In addition, the unit can be operated via any USB or RS232 communication port of a Windows or Linux
workstation. Moreover, the integrated extension interface allows pooling with optionally available communi-
cation interfaces, such as EtherCAT or other additional functionalities.
Latest technology, such as field-oriented control (FOC), acceleration/velocity feed forward, or dual loop, in
combination with highest control cycle rates allow sophisticated, ease-of-use motion control.

down or if the cables break or get disconnected, etc., the complete drive system must return – and be
kept – in a safe operating mode.
• Be aware that you are not entitled to perform any repair on components supplied by maxon.
Electrostatic sensitive device (ESD)
• Wear working cloth and use equipment in compliance with ESD protective measures.
• Handle device with extra care.
DANGER
High voltage and/or electrical shock
Touching live wires causes death or serious injuries!
• Consider any power cable as connected to live power, unless having proven the opposite!
• Make sure that neither end of cable is connected to live power!
• Make sure that power source cannot be engaged while work is in process!
• Obey lock-out/tag-out procedures!
• Make sure to securely lock any power engaging equipment against unintentional engagement and tag
it with your name!
