Place to aggregate motor information, mostly as it relates to microscopes
2018-05-28: creating page to aggregate industry pinout information and mcmaster recommendations.
mcmaster goal: come up with a standard connector to put on BBB cape
Goals:
Main candidates:
Above: Compumotor OEM650 pinout
Above: PMC VS Drive pinout
This seems to have been a de facto standard for some years. I've observed it on Compumotor, PMC, and other drivers.
mcmaster: IMHO this is too bulky to use in modern applications, although I do have several legacy drivers using it
Used on some MDrive17 motors
mcmaster: of particular interest to me since I try to use these motors by default.
Above: G540 indexer connection
The G320X servo driver uses post mounted Phoenix contact type connectors.
M12/M23 seems to be common on modern stepper motors. The MDrive manual for example cites it was done to reach IP65 enclosure rating:
The MDrive17Plus2-65 Motion Control adds protection against the ingress of fluids and dust to the MDrive17Plus2 by changing the motor-drive enclosure to meet IP65 specifications. With this change the connector configuration changes to industry standard M12/M23 circular connectors.
