6 RGDC18xx Motor Controller Datasheet Version 1.5 January 17, 2018
For use in environments where liquid particles or fine dust may be present, the controller’s cover is shaped
for DSub connectors with waterproof hoods, as shown in Figure 5. Product references EDAC 627-230-025-010,
CONEC 165X14839X or Assmann A-DS25-HOOD-WP.

Enabling Analog Commands
For safety reasons, the Analog command mode is disabled by default. To enable the Analog mode, use the PC
utility and set Analog in Command Priority 2 or 3 (leave Serial as priority 1). Note that by default the additional
securities are enabled and will prevent the motor from starting unless the potentiometer is centered, or if the
voltage is below 0.25V or above 4.75V. Use the PC utility to enable and assign analog inputs.
CAN Bus Operation
The controller can interface to a standard CAN Bus network, using 4 possible protocols: Standard CANOpen,
a simple and efficient meshed networking scheme (RoboCAN), and two simplified proprietary schemes (Mini-
CAN and RawCAN). Please refer to the User Manual for details.
Serial Communication
The controller has a full RS232 compatible serial interface. The serial port can easily be connected to devices
with TTL serial using a simple resistor and diodes circuit. See user manual for details.
The controller is equipped with three LED indicator lights, as shown in Figure 6:
