Precautions
- Do not connect the input power cord to the output terminals U, V, W, otherwise the servo drive will be damaged. When using the built-in braking resistor, C and D must be connected (factory default connection).
- When the cables are bundled and used in pipes, etc., due to the deterioration of heat dissipation conditions, please consider the allowable current reduction rate.
- When the temperature in the cabinet is higher than the cable temperature limit, please choose a cable with a larger cable temperature limit, and it is recommended that the cable wire use Teflon wire. Please pay attention to the warmth of the cable in the low temperature environment. Generally, the surface of the cable is easy to harden and break under the low temperature environment.
- The bending radius of the cable should be more than 10 times the outer diameter of the cable itself to prevent the core of the cable from breaking due to long-term bending.

The digital output circuit wiring of VD2-0xxSA1H Servo Drive is different from that of VD2A and VD2F servo drives. VD2-0xxSA1H needs to be connected to external 24V DC power supply. (CN2_35 pin and CN2_37 pin are connected to COM0 and 24V+ of external 24V power supply respectively). If the access current is too large and the DOCOM line is relatively thin, servo drives need to access multiple DOCOM to achieve the shunt effect.

Brake wiring
The brake is a mechanism that prevents the servo motor shaft from moving when the servo drive is in a non-running state, so that the motor remains in position lock so that the moving part of the machinery will not move due to self-weight or external force.
The brake input signal is no polar. You need to use 24V power. The standard wiring between brake signal BK and brake power is as below.

Communication signal wiring
Wecon VD2 series servo drive supports two communication modes: RS-422 and RS-485. The communication port is RJ45 socket. The exterior of communication terminal is shown in Figure 4-31

Figure 4-35 Pin number of an RJ45 socket
The communication modes supported by the driver communication ports are in the following table.
VD2 A&VD2 B | VD2F | ||
---|---|---|---|
Port | Communication mode | Port | Communication mode |
CN3 | Only RS422 | CN3 | RS422, RS485 communication mode choose one of two. Set by function code P12-05 |
CN5 | Only RS485 | CN4 | |
CN6 | ✎Note: The CN3 and CN4 interfaces are physically connected and are actually the same communication interface. When P12-05 is set to 1, CN3 and CN4 use RS485 communication mode. If the value is set to 0, both use RS422 communication mode. | ||

Communication connection with servo host computer (RS422)
Servo drives communicate with the host computer via RS422 communication. A USB to RS422 (RJ45 connector) cable is required for communication, and you need to equip it by yourselves.

VD2A and VD2B servo drives communicate with the host computer via the CN3 interface by RS422 communication. Figure 4-36 and Figure 4-37 show the communication connections.
