A direct water jet towards the control units should be avoided, especially when
using high pressure. Also, the use of any such solvent that causes damage to
electronic devices should be avoided when handling the control units.
When cleaning the control unit, do not use highly alkaline / acidic substances,
too hot water, or too heavy mechanical abrasion.
In moist conditions, the module must be mounted and oriented so that the
connectors are not filled with water.
Do not mount the unit in a position where the connector side is facing up.
All Epec control units use heavy duty gold plated, locked and sealed AMPSEAL connectors.
The following figure shows an example of an AMP23 connector:
• Gold plated AMPSEAL connectors pack a current of 15 amperes per contact and
tolerate operating temperature range.
• All module connectors are mechanically keyed to mate only with identical colors (blue,
grey and black).
The following figure describes some general instructions about the connectors.
Refer to AMP Application Specification 114-16016 for more detailed information on connectors
and cable recommendations.
Ordering codes for the AMP connectors, crimps and tools are listed in Section Accessories.
8.4 Cabling
8.4.1 System Topologies
Generally, cabling should be properly designed and documented to help the initial
assembly and maintenance.
It is highly recommended to mark each cable on both ends to avoid confusion and
errors.
The cables must be run in a safe route along the machine frame.
When routing cables, avoid interfering objects and pay particular attention to
moving parts of the machine.
It is also good to minimize the amount of the connection points of the cable harness
to maximize reliability.
Also, all valid safety instructions should be observed when coupling.
• The control units are connected with each other using standardized CAN bus.
• The idea of the Epec embedded control system, is that all the control units are installed
close to sensors, encoders and other equipment connected to them.
• This way the amount of the traffic on the CAN bus is minimized and
connections can be made using short wires.
Termination resistors
• Generally, the bus cable is terminated at both ends with termination resistors (ISO
11898:1993).
• In Epec 5050, there are two different types to connect terminal resistor:
• In CAN1, termination resistor can be connected internally as shown in
the figure Example1 below
• In all the CANs (CAN1, CAN2, CAN3 and CAN4), the termination
resistor can be external
The cable lengths presented here are approximates. Actual cable lengths also
depend on the cable quality, the cable type and also on the machine environment
(possible interference).
Example 2. Control system topology in theory with maximum bus speed (1000 kbit/s); Control
Units in traditional bus arrangement. For more information about the bus speeds, refer to CiA
DS-102 standard.
Example 3. The usage of the termination resistor (TR) in a conventional bus. The maximum
recommended bus length is directly dependent on the bus speed.
In theory, the maximum length with the maximum speed can be up to 25 meters. If the bus
speed is lower, the length can be extended.
The maximum length of the bus depends on the bus speed. For more information about the
bus speeds, see the table below / refer to CiA DS-102 standard.
The following table shows some baud rates in general purpose CAN bus networks as well as
the maximum bus length for a given baud rate, that CAN in Automation (CiA) international users
and manufacturers group has recommended to be used. For more information, refer to CiA DS-
102 standard.
CAN bus baud rates and bus lengths according to CiA DS-102 standard
Baudrate Bus length
1 Mbits/s 25 m
800 kbits/s 50 m
500 kbits/s 100 m
250 kbits/s 250 m
125 kbits/s 500 m
50 kbits/s 1000 m
20 kbits/s 2500 m
10 kbits/s 5000 m
The CAN bus cable is the neural backbone of the whole system and should be designed and
constructed with extra care.
• In all Epec 5050 control units, the bus connections can be found in grey AMP 35 pin
connector (connector1).
• 5050 control unit's CAN1 is equipped with double pins that enables cabling without
branching the wire harness
• For information about the CAN bus lengths and baud rates, refer to section System
Topologies.
Cable
• It is recommended to use high quality and twisted (approx. 1 round/ 1 inch) CAN bus cable.
• Normal UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pairs) cable is well suited for distances under
approximately 10 meters.
• In longer distances, and especially if there is possibility for electromagnetic interference, it
is highly recommended to use shielded and twisted cable for CAN bus, also for shorter
distances.
• To avoid electromagnetic interference (EMI), locate the bus cable as far away from high-
current carrying cables as possible. Generally, the amount of the connections and
connectors should be minimized to maximize security; also all connections should be done
carefully.
• The shield grounding must be done only in one end of the cable
Connection example when there is not a GND pin available in the control unit:
8.4.3 Ethernet
In order that the electromagnetic interference (EMI) would not effect the data transfer, the
installation of the cable should be done as close as possible to the body of the machine.
It is recommended to wire the cable under the shelter of mechanical hits if the installation
environment makes it possible.
The cable must be installed as far away as possible from other cables with high power.
The maximum length of a working connection is 100 meters.
• In all Epec 5050 control units the Ethernet connections can be found in the grey AMP
35 pin connector (connector1).
• This Ethernet connection is based on 10BASE-T connection where two twisted pairs
are used.
• This AMP 35 connector is not a standard connecting format and to get the best
operation reliability the following issues should be considered in circuitry and
installation; type of the used cable, connecting the cable and the installation method.
Cable
If the installation environment requires a cable that takes heat and low temperature, the
minimum demand for the cable is under 20 m with connection Outdoor UTP Cat5E 4Pairs
(Water Blocking / UV Resistant).
For longer connections it is recommended to use cable Outdoor UTP Cat6 4Pairs (Water
blocking / UV Resistant), similar to it or better.
• (SFTP = Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair)
• (FTP = Foiled Twisted Pair)
• (STP = Shielded Twisted Pair)
• (UTP= Unshielded Twisted Pair)
Closed circuit loops are always recommended and mandatory when you are
using DO or PWM pin as an input.
Closed circuit loop means that the power supply for the sensor must return to
the same power group, see the figures below.
When measuring current (mA), the sensor connected to 5050 unit’s AI/DI pin
must not be powered up before the 5050 control unit is operational. Otherwise
the sensor’s input signal is not received correctly.
• The cabling for encoders etc. is in many cases supplied together with them.
• In many cases, very simple basic cable may be used, e.g. automobile R2 cable (0,5 or 1,0)
by NK Cables.
• Dimensions of the cable should be appropriate for AMP contacts (so that crimping is
possible).
• Refer to AMPSEAL table (in section Accessories) for dimensions.
• Take extra care for protecting the cables against physical wear and damage.
• Normally, only one wire can be connected to one AMPSEAL connector pin. However, if
more than one wire has to be connected to one connector pin, it has to be connected by
branch wiring.
• Some voltage inputs use relatively low voltages.
• Consider using shielded cables for these encoders etc. especially for longer distances
to increase safety
• Using shielded cable is recommended also in joystick connections.
Do not connect the closed circuit loop as shown in the following figure:
• All sensors and encoders must be wired according to the closed-loop principle, i.e. the
power for the sensors and encoders is supplied by the module they are connected to.
This way, it is possible to avoid potential harmful differences, so the MOSFET driven
output power switching operates properly.
When designing the sensor and encoder connections, observe single-point grounding. Each
control unit connector has several GND pins which should be used.
Refer to section Power supply pins and limitations for accurate pin allocation of connectors.
• The nominal operating voltage for Epec modules is 12 and 24 VDC. The full operating
range is 8,3 - 36VDC.
• See section Power supply pins and limitations for accurate pin allocation of the connectors
when using Epec 5050 control unit.
• Single point grounding should be used for power supply for all the control units.

Power 2:
8.5 Welding
Welding causes some high current flows and voltage peaks in the machine. It
should be noted that the electronics of the control system may be damaged, if the
welding current can get through the control unit itself.
So, when welding, it should be taken care to prevent high currents from going
through the control units or through the CAN bus.
Disconnect all the connectors from the control units before welding.
