4.2 Serial Ports
The serial ports on the NGQx allow communication with external devices to the control, PC-type, PLC and
other.
➢SER1-PRG: 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 NGQx 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

4.3 CAN BUS Port
The port CAN BUS allows the communication of the card NGquark 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 CAN BUS Connection
Is possible insert the terminator resistor with jumper JP1
4.3.2 CanOpen Max PDO Number
Normally the max PDO number managed by NGQx 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

NGQX USER GUIDE
4.3.3 Set Node Number – SLAVE MODE
When the NGQx is in SLAVE MODE, you must select the CanOpen Node number by DIP 1. This is codified in binary mode (node 1
to 15)
WARNING
If the NGQx board is configured as MASTER, insert always the TERMINATOR JUMPER
If the NGQx is configured as SLAVE, insert the TERMINATOR JUMPER if the board is the
last node in the CanBus.
In another situations, remove the JUMPER

4.4 Analog Input
The analog inputs of the NGQx can be configured to read voltage signals including 5-10-12-24 VDC, or in current between 4-
20mA. Configuration is done for each input, making the system very flexible.
The input voltage can not exceed those limits by more than 0.2 V.
They can be configured up to a maximum of 4 analog inputs, one of which is always present.

4.6 Encoder Channels
The encoder (or optical line) must be connected with a shielded cable, to prevents electromagnetic interference . It's also
recommended to have separated cable for each encoder and put far away the connection by interferences sources (inverters,high
voltage cable, AC motors, ecc.).
NGQx is ready to use LINE-DRIVE encoders , also supplies the +5Vdc source voltage. It can't be used with PUSH-PULL or OPEN-
COLLECTOR encoders.

4.8 Digital Outputs
The outputs are optically isolated with respect to GND. In order to function should therefore feed them separately with
a voltage of 24 Vdc. The load is driven by a transistor of the PNP type which when activated will provide a positive
voltage equal to the voltage supply of the outputs.
On the card there is a protection diode so you can also directly drive inductive loads. In case of inductive loads with
absorption greater than or equal to 1 A or when the cable connection between the load and board exceeds a length of
3 meters, you should put the protection diode also close to the load (diode type 1N4007 or similar).

9Notes on the CE legislation
We have two directives about electronic devices, regarding the NGQx: the 2006/42/CE (machine directive) about safety use of the
devices and 2004/108/CE about electromagnetic compatibility.
About the first (machine directive), electric/electronic devices must complies the Union harmonisation legislation (Low Voltage
Directive), Directive 2006/95/EC (until April 19th, 2016) and Directive 2014/35/EU (from April 20th, 2016) but it can be applied on
devices supplied at 50-1000Vac or 75-1500Vdc. NGQx works at a voltage of 24Vdc (thus Intrinsically “safe”), so it belongs to "very
low voltage" devices (class 0 legislation CEI 11.1), on which it isn't no legislation about.
On electromagnetic compatibility, regarding the Union harmonisation legislation Directive 2004/108/CE (until April 20th, 2016)
and Directive 2014/30/EU (from April 20th, 2016), the device can be considered inherently benign in terms of
electromagnetic compatibility because its inherent physical characteristics are such that:
a) it is incapable of generating or contributing to electromagnetic emissions which exceed a level allowing
radio and
telecommunications equipment and other equipment to operate as intended;
b) it will operate without unacceptable degradation in the presence of the electromagnetic disturbance
normally present in its intended environment
Moreover, this device cannot be classified as a "finished appliance with an independent functionality", due the
NGQx haven’t any use outside a complex electromechanics system, the machine electric board, made by a manufacturer in an
industrial ambit and not by a final user.
Thus, it hasn’t any certification duty.
PROMAX however, can institute some specific measure as a pre-compliance, in case of particular demands of costumers, regarding
the device electromagnetic characterization.
For example, can be made some measure under the CEI EN 61000-6-1 norm (2007 generic norms – residential, commercial and
light industrial ambient immunity) or CEI EN 61000-6-1 (2007 generic norms - residential, commercial and light industrial ambient
emission)
