The first Argon units were shipped today! This is the last production batch which is distributed directly from Tampere because in the future we will use a warehousing & fulfillment service which yields faster delivery times around the world.
The first Argon units packaged & ready to go!
On the next post I will give a preview version of Granity software for download. Stay tuned!
One is mine!
As now clients will receive the units, at least a sample connection diagram should be done, because in the meanwhile we can start connecting/passing wires so that the use of the drives will be as fast as possible while the software is being produced.
Indeed! Feel free to browse the documentation which will be finalized on next days: http://granitedevices.com/argondocs/
There are prelimiary wiring diagrams already.
and one is mine too :-D
tero did you get my message on the “contact us” page sales site about my order,
command name KOLARIK Matus ?
Yes! I sent you email regarding this earlier today.
thanks Tero
I already received the drives! Very fast.
They look ok and now I am already installing them.
As I am passing and ordering cables, so that I get all working as fast as possible, I really need to know there the cable from the drive with the encoder information to the controller go from (in what connector). In my case I will use the drive in velocity mode and the loop will be closed in the controller.
Thank you
Is this sufficient to begin?

There will be some wiring examples soon.
Not really, as there is no information about what pins related to the encoder will be used as “pass though” to the controller (in the VSD it was the EXT connector). Maybe this drive does not have it and the user wires the encoder for both drive and controller?
I will have to wait for the examples then.
Just made a new article:
http://granitedevices.com/wiki/Argon_user_guide/Wiring/Feedback_device_examples
It’s true that there’s no pass-through connector for feedback in Argon. Instead pass them through external controller to the drive or split the cable (perhaps D15 spitters are available?).
Just a remark: The J1 connector was received, but not its cover… does not make too much sense as the cover is probably 0.10€. Searching for it will now be much more time consuming than receiving it in the first place.
Actually its not a mistake. I bought several D-sub hoods to find out which would be suitable to be insterted in the package. The cheapest ones are very bad and the cheapest decent looking costs nearly 2 eur/pcs in a large volume so I decided to leave it out. The original purpose to include a minimalistic connectors set was merely to elimiate the wait before drive can be made operational. So one may use the bare D-sub as temporary solution and add a hood of his preference later.
However, if the majority prefers the 2 eur hood to come with package, then we’ll add them :)
