drives including the technical data, the connectors and the wiring diagrams needed
for installation and an overview of the setup steps and motion programming options
Help of the EasySetUp software –describes how to use EasySetUp to quickly setup
any Technosoft drive for your application using only 2 dialogues. The output of
EasySetUp is a set of setup data that can be downloaded into the drive EEPROM or
saved on a PC file. At power-on, the drive is initialized with the setup data read from
its EEPROM. With EasySetUp it is also possible to retrieve the complete setup
information from a drive previously programmed. EasySetUp includes a firmware
programmer with allows you to update your drive firmware to the latest revision.
EasySetUp can be downloaded free of charge from Technosoft web page

2. Product Overview
2.1. Introduction
The IO-iPOS4808 I/O extension board is an auxiliary module allowing rapid evaluation of the
iPOS4808 VX-CAN or iPOS4808 VX-CAT Intelligent Servo Drives.
On the IO-iPOS4808, the iPOS4808 drives are connected directly to J1 connector. The EtherCAT
extension module allows EtherCAT communication through connectors J2 and J3 if the product ID
of the board is iPOS4808 VX-CAT IO.
The IO-iPOS4808 offers the user an easy and direct access to the main signals available on the
iPOS4808 connector like: USB and CAN communication, motor and feedback connections, digital
I/Os and analogue inputs. The IO-iPOS4808 can be used in many ways starting from basic
evaluation purposes up to complete implementation of motion control applications.

o3 general-purpose outputs: OUT0, OUT1, OUT5
oOne Error output: OUT2/Error
oOne Ready output: OUT3/Ready
2 analog inputs, 0-5V,12-bit used to read:
oOne analogue Reference: REF
oOne analogue Feedback sensor: FBDK
o2 general-purpose analogue inputs
