Assignments
External control capability is provided through the use of assignments to the sources (Drive Inputs and Module Inputs) or the destinations (Drive Outputs and Module Outputs). Assignments provide a mechanism for the user to define the internal and external dynamic control structure to separate complex motion profiles. These functions directly correspond to any input or output line on the drive or the
The drives are equipped with five optically isolated input lines (one dedicated to a Drive Enable function) and three optically isolated output lines. The
The drive’s input and output lines can be accessed through the removable
All inputs and outputs are configured as sourcing and are designed to operate from a +10 to 30 VDC power source. You are responsible for limiting the output current to less than 200 mA for each digital output.
