3.3 General danger and warning notes
!
WARNING
Only use this controller with the - by connectors and power - intended 2-phase stepper and BLDC
motors. Otherwise there is a danger of fire or malfunction.
Do not use the product in areas where they are exposed to water, corrosive gases, flammable or
explosive gases or fuel. Otherwise there is a danger of electric shock, fire or explosion.
3.4 Danger and warning signs
All signs listed in this documentation are printed in a standardized form. A hazardous situation is
categorized according to the classes below depending on the level of hazard to the user or motor
controller.
!
DANGER
The DANGER sign indicates an immediately hazardous situation that, when the instruction is
neglected, will unavoidably cause a serious or fatal accident.
!
WARNING
The WARNING sign indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, when the instruction is
neglected, may possibly cause a serious or fatal accident or damage to this device or other devices.
!
CAUTION
The CAUTION sign indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, when the instruction is neglected,
may possibly cause an accident or damage to this device or other devices.
CAUTION
The CAUTION sign without the warning symbol indicates a possibly hazardous situation that, when
the instruction is neglected, may possibly cause an accident or damage to this device or other
devices.
3.5 Other information

4 About this manual
4.1 Introduction
This manual is directed toward programmers intending to program a motor controller using the motor
controller from Nanotec®.
4.2 Numerical values
Numerical values are always presented in decimal notation. If hexadecimal notation must be used, this
is indicated by a subscript "h" at the end of the number.
The objects in the object directory are noted as follows with an index and sub-index: <Index>:<Sub-
index>
Both the index and sub-index are in hexadecimal notation. Sub-index 0 is in force when no sub-index is
noted.
Example: Sub-index 5 of object 1003his addressed with "1003h:05h", sub-index 0 of object 6040hwith
"6040h".
In the last section of the manual, all objects are listed in full, and the references in the running text and
tables are set in bold, e.g. 6040h.
4.3 Bits
The individual bits of an object are always numbered beginning with 0 at the LSB. See the following
figure, which uses the "UNSIGNED8" data type as an example.
4.4 Counting direction (arrows)
In drawings, the counting direction is always in the direction of the arrow. The objects 60C5hand 60C6h
shown in the following figure are both positive.
Max. acceleration (60C5h)
Max. deceleration (60C6h)

Protection circuit • Over and under voltage protection
• Over temperature: protective circuit at temperature > 75° Celsius
• Polarity reversal protection: in case of polarity reversal, short circuit
between supply voltage and GND via PIN diode, therefore cable
protection device (fuse) required in supply cable. The interrupting
rating of the fuse depends on the application and has to be
• greater than the maximum controllers current consumption
• and smaller than the maximum current of the voltage supply.
In case the fuse being close to the current consumption of the
controller, the fuse characteristic should be slow-blow.

5.3 Overtemperature protection
At a temperature of approx. 80 °C on the board (corresponds to 65-72 °C outside on the rear cover),
the power drive of the controller is switched off and the error bit is set (see object 1001hand 1003h).
After the controller is cooled and the error is confirmed (see table for the controlword, "Fault reset"),
it operates normally again.
The following temperature test results illustrate the temperature behavior of this controller. However,
the specific temperature behavior depends not only on the motor but also largely on the flanging
and the heat transition at the flange, as well as on the convection in the machine. Therefore, we

Manual PD4-C (USB)

Version: 1.4.1 / 22.07.2016 / FIR-v1626 14
recommend always performing a long-term test in a realistic environment for applications with
problematic levels of current and ambient temperature.
Temperature tests were performed under the following conditions:

5.5.4 Voltage supply (connector X3)
Safety instruction
!
CAUTION
Danger of electrical overvoltage!
• Connect a charging capacitor with at least 4700 µF!
• An operating voltage higher than the admissible operating voltage (see the "Technical data of
motor" section) destroys the output stage!
• Mixing up the connections can destroy the output stage!
• Never connect or disconnect lines when live!
• The supply voltage must be selected so that it neverexceeds the admissible operating voltage of
the motor. In particular, interferences by other consumers or by voltages induced by the motor
must be considered, and if necessary a voltage must be selected that offers an adequately high
safety reserve.
Voltage source
The operating or supply voltage is delivered by a battery, a transformer with rectification and filtering, or
better a switch-mode power supply.
Interference suppression and protection measures are required when a DC power supply line with
a length of >30 m is used or the motor is used on a DC bus. An EMI filter is to be installed in the DC
supply cable with a small as possible distance to the motor controller/motor.
Long data or supply lines are to be routed through ferrites.

Permissible operating voltage
The maximum operating voltage for each motor type is:
• 12 V to 24 V for BLDC motors
• 12 V to 48 V for stepper motors
A charging capacitor of at least 4700 µF/ 50 V must be connected to the supply voltage to ensure that
the permissible operating voltage is not exceeded (e.g. during braking).

6 Configuration
Version: 1.4.1 / 22.07.2016 / FIR-v1626 20
6 Configuration
6.1 General information
The following options exist for configuring the motor controller:
DIP switches
Four DIP switches are fitted on the rear. More information can be found in the section "DIP
switches".
Configuration file
This file can be stored on the motor controller by using the USB port. Read the sections "USB
port" and "Configuration file.
NanoJ program
This program can be programmed, compiled, and then transferred over USB to the motor
controller with NanoJ Easy. Read the sections and "NanoJ program"Programming with
NanoJ".
After it has been connected to a voltage supply, the motor controller reads out the configuration in the
following sequence:
1. Configuration file is read out and processed.
2. The DIP switches are read out and applied as configuration.
3. The NanoJ program is launched
6.2 DIP switches
The motor controller can be configured with DIP switches mounted on the rear. The base setting when
delivered is shown in the following illustration.
1234
ON
Note
A change of one or more DIP switches will only take effect after a restart of the controller.
A switch pushed up is in the "On" position. A switch pushed down is in the "Off" position.
