GIMSON ROBOTICS GR-SYNC Controller Motor Controller

The GR-SYNC is a highly configurable general purpose DC motor and actuator control module, designed to operate one or two connected motors with encoders, tracking their positions and applying automatic accelerations, current limiting and synchronisation (when in dual channel mode). In
these instructions we describe the controller features and the ways in which it can be connected and adjusted for different applications. For frequently asked questions visit gimsonrobotics.co.uk/gr-sync-faq or scan the QR code

• Input Supply: 9V – 28V DC (ensure that the supply is able to handle the expected load current)
• Outputs: Two DC motor outputs, up to 12A each, with adjustable overcurrent (0.5 – 12A) and over-duty settings.
• Combined load must be kept <20A 3min, <16A 10min and <10A 30min. Acceleration and deceleration ramping is adjustable between 100 – 4000ms. PWM output is at 20kHz, square-wave.
• Braking: Default regenerative braking ON, this can be disabled (freewheel braking) in menus.
• Command Signals: GND OV – 1V = LOW, 3V – 12V = HIGH. Active HIGH is input default, though can be configured active LOW.
• Compatibility: Brushed DC motors/actuators with quadrature encoders operating at 5V or 12V, with a signal of up-to 2000Hz per channel in complete pulses/second. Works with all Gimson Robotics actuators w/encoders.
• Regulated Outputs: 5V up-to 40mA, 12V up-to 200mA. Be aware that if adding loads to BOTH of these outputs, the maximum loads should be halved (to a maximum 20mA at 5V and 100mA at 12V). You must not overload either.
• Display: 128 x 64px OLED, White text on Black background.
• Operating Temp: -10°C – 45°C with on-board over-temperature detection.
• Dimensions: 120 x 75 x 29mm including enclosure, excluding connectors and leads.
• Weight: 180g including enclosure, input screw terminal, and 1/0 connector (10P connector with leads).
• Assessed to: EMC BS EN 61000-6-3:2021, BS EN 61000-6-1:2019 RoHS RoHS Directive 2015/863 (RoHS 3)
• Safety BS EN 60730-1:2016+A2:2022 (class B software) Product compliance must be re-assessed in any end application, which is the responsibility of the designer and/or installer of the system.

নকশা বিবেচনা এবং নিরাপত্তা
The GR-SYNC is a complex and highly configurable general-purpose motor control module whose characteristics can be
modified significantly by changing control settings and by connecting different power supplies, input controls and loads. It is
designed with features to enhance safety, including overtemperature detection, overcurrent detection (and adjustable
response to overcurrent), stop and limit switch control overrides, as well as a fuse on the input supply.

We have assessed the controller as being capable of compliance to BS EN 60730-1:2016+A2:2022, according to class B
software requirements, however compliance should be reassessed at a whole-system level, per application.
It is very important that the connected hardware and controller settings are configured, and tested thoroughly, to
suit each application individually. Important notices are provided below:

It is critical that all warnings on this document are adhered to, Gimson Robotics Ltd declines liability for any damages
caused by not following these instructions.
As the GR-SYNC is a general purpose electronic device (and not a product with a defined end application) it is the user’s
responsibility to ensure that their usage of it, and any connected power sources and loads, meets all applicable (and
application specific) regulatory requirements.

The device is not designed or suitable for use in safety-critical applications. It should not be used in any system directly
affecting the control or operation of passenger vehicles (land, water or air).
If using the device with an optional RF module accessory (GR-RX-868A), you must read and follow the seperate
instructions provided for that device too, and of any connected remote controls. As explained on the receiver module
instructions, additional precautions should be taken if a remote receiver module is incorporated

Components such as the heat sink may become hot during loaded operation, be aware that external physical protections
may be appropriate for your application.A 10-way connector here (2.54mm pitch,
KF2510) provides access to the wired inputs
D1, D2, STOP, 101, 102 and IN1, as well as
to the 5V (max 40mA) and 12V (max 200mA)
outputs of the device. A corresponding 10P

Using the selection jumper here you can change the encoder supply from 5V to 12V,
useful for some applications where a 5V supply is insufficient. This jumper is accessed
below the enclosure lid, between the motor connectors.

with the positive input lead (16AWG, red silicone

Connected directly to the 3.3V (processor logic level) regulated output.
This is an always-on LED (not affected by controller state, aside from power loss).Control Modes
By default, inputs to the GR-SYNC are ‘Momentary (MO)’, meaning that
they need to be maintained for the output to keep moving (a button input
needs to stay pressed). It is possible to instead change the control
response to ‘Latching (LA), meaning that a single input starts an action
and a second trigger of the same input (for example a button being
pressed a second time) ends the action. This mode selection, between
MO or LA, is applied seperately to wired inputs at D1 and D2 (WIR
MODE setting) and to remote inputs (REM MODE setting) if an optional
remote receiver is connected (see section D, alongside).
For applications with latched operation set, additional care should
be taken to ensure that the system remains safe when the output is
latched on, in one direction or the other.

GR-RX-868A
The controller has an input terminal row for
the optional connection of a GR-RX-868A(2)
868MHz receiver module, so that the
controller may be commanded via remote
controls). When a receiver is connected here,
remote inputs are independent of wired
inputs, and wired inputs are set to override
