If needed, attach PWM extension cables to the controller or adapter. If using SPARK MAX, attach the PWM adapter to the SPARK MAX (small adapter with a 3 pin connector with black/white wires). Requires: 4x SPARK MAX PWM adapters (if using SPARK MAX), 4x PWM cables (if controllers without integrated wires or adapters, otherwise optional), 2x PWM Y-cable (Optional) The SPARK MAXs (and many other FRC motor controllers) can also be wired using CAN which unlocks easier configuration, advanced functionality, better diagnostic data and reduces the amount of wire needed. This is a recommended starting point as it is less complex and easier to troubleshoot than CAN operation.

This section details how to wire the SPARK MAX controllers using PWM signaling. Occasionally the terminal may remain stuck open with the wire inserted and the button released even if the wire is stripped and inserted properly in these cases wiggling the wire in and out a small amount will often allow the connector to latch shut and grip the wire. If the wire comes out and is the correct gauge it needs to be inserted further and/or stripped back further. Tug on the wire to verify that it is seated fully. Verify that there are no “whiskers” outside the connector that may cause a short circuit To insert or remove the wire, press down on the corresponding “button” to open the terminalĪfter making the connection check to be sure that it is clean and secure: Wire ends should be stripped approximately 5/16 (~8 mm)” Wire should be 16 AWG (1.5 \(mm^2\)) to 24 AWG (0.25 \(mm^2\)) (consult rules to verify required gauge for power wiring) There are a few things to keep in mind when using this connector for best results:

Strip the other end of each wire, and crimp on a ring or fork terminalĪttach the terminal to the motor controller input terminals (red to +, black to -)Ī number of the CAN and power connectors in the system use a Weidmuller LSF series wire-to-board connector. Strip one end of each of the wires, then insert into the Wago terminals. Terminal Controllers only: 10 or 12 AWG (4 - 6 \(mm^2\)) wire, 10 or 12 AWG (4 - 6 \(mm^2\)) fork/ring terminals, wire crimperįor SPARK MAX or other wire integrated motor controllers (top image):Ĭut and strip the red and black power input wires, then insert into one of the 40A (larger) Wago terminal pairs.įor terminal motor controllers (bottom image):Ĭut red and black wire to appropriate length to reach from one of the 40A (larger) Wago terminal pairs to the input side of the motor controller (with a little extra for the length that will be inserted into the terminals on each end) Requires: Wire Stripper, Small Flat Screwdriver, Two sizes of Wago connector are found on the PDP: To use the Wago connectors, insert a small flat blade screwdriver into the rectangular hole at a shallow angle then angle the screwdriver upwards as you continue to press in to actuate the lever, opening the terminal. The next step will involve using the Wago connectors on the PDP. Using a 7/16” (11 mm) box end wrench, remove the nut on the “Batt” side of the main breaker and secure the positive terminal of the battery connector Lift the lever above the black main power input terminal on the PDH until it clicks into place. Requires: Battery Connector, 6 AWG (16 \(mm^2\)) terminal lugs, 7/16” (11 mm) Box endĪttach terminal lug to positive (red) wire of battery connector. To maximize pullout force and minimize connection resistance wires should not be tinned (and ideally not twisted) before inserting into the Wago connector.
Two sizes of Wago connector are found on the PDH:
To use the Wago connectors, open the lever, insert the wire, then close the lever.
The next step will involve using the Wago connectors on the PDH.
