4.1 Power
The AG-EPC-32 requires two separate power supplies:
➢Logical Power, PWR
➢Digital Outputs Power, J4 e J5
To supply the digital outputs, see the relevant chapter 4.9
As regards the supply of the logic section, this is necessary for normal operation of the card

4.2 Serial Ports
The serial ports on the AG-EPC-32 allow communication with external devices to the control, PC-type, PLC
and other.
➢SER1: is normally used both for the download of the programs on the control, both for the debugging
from a PC application. It is also the port to use for updating the firmware
➢SER2: Can be used for communication with other devices, such as a PLC, inverters or other. CAN BE
CONFIGURED RS485 MODE.
For the electrical signal, the serial ports are in compliance with RS232/RS485.
Use a CABLE WITH SHIELD for serial ports connections
Connect the SHIELD to PIN 5 SER1 or SER2 to AG-EPC-32 ports
Generally the RS232 connection, uses a NULL MODEM cable (pin 2,3,5) CROSSOVER (with inversion on pin
2,3)
Always check the external device that type of connection it accepts
RS232 on SER2
RS232 on SER1
RS485 on SER2
Normally the GND pin is not connect
SER2
Pin1 + 24Vdc max 1A - service
Pin2 - RX
Pin3 - TX
Pin4 - GND

USB
The AG-EPC-32 can use a normal MINI USB for update VTB Application by NgProg.
Is used a standard cable for connect the PC USB.
NGPROG detect a COM when USB is connected
WARNING
DO NOT CONNECT THE SERIAL PORTS WHEN THE BOARD IS
ON

4.3 CAN BUS Port
The port CAN BUS allows the communication of the card AG-EPC-32 with type devices for motors drives,
slave of various kinds, encoders, and more.
Communication takes place via the CAN OPEN protocol, based on its specifications DS401 and DS402 as
regards the objects and the modes supported.
In terms of data exchange, the line complies with DS301.
The port can be configured as master or slave depending on the firmware present.
The port CAN-BUS meets the specifications of ISO 11898-24V.
4.3.1 Connection CAN BUS
Is possible insert the TERMINATOR RESISTOR, inserting the JUMPER above the power connector.
WARNING
If the AG-EPC-32 board is configured as MASTER, insert always the TERMINATOR JUMPER
If the AG-EPC-32 is configured as SLAVE, insert the TERMINATOR JUMPER if the board is the last node in
the CanBus.
In another situations, remove the JUMPER
4.3.2 CanOpen Max PDO Number
Normally the max PDO number managed by AG-EPC-32 Canopen system , is 10.
It is a total for PDO Rx and PDO Tx ex:
7 → PDO Tx
3 → PDO Rx
WARNING
USE THE CABLE FOR CANOPEN COMMUNICATION
