Gold Motor Programming Tool

Connect four female jumper wires and program your OSSM Gold Motor.

Restore the standard OSSM settings on a Gold Motor (57AIM series). This changes motor settings, not firmware.

What you need

A Gold Motor, CERRXIAN USB–RS485 adapter (B09JMT9D59), four female Arduino jumper wires, wire cutters/strippers, a small screwdriver, the motor's 24 V power supply, and a desktop computer running Chrome or Edge.

Connect the wires

Power off before wiring

Unplug USB and motor power. Keep all other motor signal connections disconnected.

  1. Cut one end off each jumper and strip the wire. Clamp the stripped ends in the adapter's labelled screw terminals.
  2. Push the female ends directly onto the motor's header pins as shown below. Do not use a 10-pin plug.

Four female jumpers connect adapter 5V to motor pin 10, GND to pin 6, A+ to pin 2, and B− to pin 3. Looking into the motor header with the latch up, the top row is 6–10 and the bottom row is 1–5.

Leave the other pins unconnected. Check the four connections before applying power.

Motor power is separate: connect the motor's 24 V supply to its power terminals. Never connect 24 V to the adapter or these header pins.

Program the motor

  1. Keep the motor shaft clear. Plug the adapter into the computer and switch on motor power.
  2. In the tool below, click Connect to Motor and select the adapter's serial port. Click Read Registers and confirm numeric values appear without errors.
  3. Click Reset fields to OSSM Standard. Leave Advanced Settings closed, then click Write Settings once. Wait for all three write passes and the readback to finish.
  4. Check the standard values: 0x0B = 800, 0x18 = 600, 0x05 = 3000, 0x07 = 3000, and 0x09 = 1.
  5. Click Disconnect, unplug USB, and switch off motor power. Reconnect both, connect in the tool, and click Read Registers to confirm the settings saved. Disconnect both power sources before removing the jumpers.

Gold Motor Control

Connection Instructions:

Connect the motor using an RS485 USB adapter that provides 5V+, GND, A, B. Example

The motor must have 20-36V DC supplied, which can come from the OSSM Reference Board or external power source.

Important: The OSSM Reference Board 4-Pin Signal Plug must be disconnected while programming.
