Hooking up 24vdc power supply to motion controller

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on connecting a Wago 24VDC power supply to a Galil motion controller. The power supply outputs 24VDC at 2.5A with two positive and two negative terminals. The Galil controller has inputs labeled GND, +VIN, NC, and PE. It is established that the positive output from the power supply should connect to the +VIN terminal on the controller, while the negative output should connect to the GND terminal. Additionally, the PE terminal should be connected to the ground busbar in the panel for safety.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of electrical wiring and connections
  • Familiarity with Wago 24VDC power supplies
  • Knowledge of Galil motion controllers
  • Awareness of grounding practices in electrical systems
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Wago 24VDC power supply specifications and wiring diagrams
  • Learn about Galil motion controller input requirements and configurations
  • Study electrical grounding techniques for industrial applications
  • Explore troubleshooting methods for power supply and controller connections
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, automation technicians, and anyone involved in connecting power supplies to motion control systems will benefit from this discussion.

Greetings.

I am asking for help connecting a Wago 24vdc power supply to a Galil motion controller. I have a very limited electrcial background.

The power supply (ps) has 120vac L-N-G inputs (I get that part) and outputs 24vdc/2.5A as two plus (+) outputs and two minus (-) outputs.

The inputs on the controller (con) are GND, +VIN, NC, and PE (the three pronged pitchfork symbol).

I'm guessing ps+ goes to con+VIN but the rest I'm un-certain about since the ps does not output a ground or common. I don't know if the ps- goes to the conNC etc etc. It seems I should also run a wire from conPE to the ground busbar in my panel?

A picture is below and believe me any help is really appreciated. Thanks.

Bruce

You can probably find the information at the manufacturer's website -- http://www.galilmc.com/

If I had to guess, I'd say the controller "GND" is probably for the 24v power supply (-) connection. The photo is too small to see any details.
