Technosoft 2020 13 IO-iMOTIONCUBE Technical Reference
3.3.2 J1..J7 – iMOTIONCUBE pass through connectors
The J1 to J7 connector pinouts are explained in the iMOTIONCUBE User Manual or Datasheet.
These connectors cannot hold the full current capability of the iMOTIONCUBE. The power pins have to be
soldered to their specific pads. Read Chapter 3.2.2 for more information.
3.3.3 J8, J9 – CAN connector for -CAN drives and IO PN P025.326.E201
Pin Pin name Type Function
1 Can-Hi I/O CAN-Bus positive line (dominant high)
2 Can-Lo I/O CAN-Bus negative line (dominant low)
3 GND - Return ground for CAN-Bus
4, 5 - - Reserved. Do not use.
6..8 n.c. - Not connected
Remark: The CAN network must have at least one 120Ω terminal resistor connected between CAN-Hi and
CAN-Lo wires to function. JP11 can connect an on-board 120Ω resistor between CAN-Hi and CAN-Lo.
3.3.4 J8, J9 – EtherCAT connector for -CAT drives and IO PN P025.326.E221
J8 and J9 are standard RJ45 Ethernet connectors, compatible with IEEE802.3 100BASE-T (100Mbit/s). Accept
STP/UTP wiring.
J8 – EtherCAT IN connector
J9 – EtherCAT OUT connector
