Abort input

Reset input

Forward Limit Switch

Reverse Limit Switch

Home Switch

Input 1 - Input 3

Latch input

Analog input

A low input stops commanded motion instantly without a controlled deceleration. Also aborts motion program.

A low input resets the state of the processor to its power-on condition. The previously saved state of the controller, along with parameter values, and saved sequences are restored.

When active, inhibits motion in forward direction. Also causes execution of limit switch subroutine, #LIMSWI. The polarity of the limit switch may be set with the CN command.

When active, inhibits motion in reverse direction. Also causes execution of limit switch subroutine, #LIMSWI. The polarity of the limit switch may be set with the CN command.

Input for Homing (HM) and Find Edge (FE) instructions. Upon BG following HM or FE, the motor accelerates to slew speed. A transition on this input will cause the motor to decelerate to a stop. The polarity of the Home Switch may be set with the CN command.

Uncommitted inputs. May be defined by the user to trigger events. Inputs are checked with the Conditional Jump instruction and After Input instruction or Input Interrupt. Input 1 is used for the high-speed latch. Only 3 inputs for the DMC-3425.

High speed position latch to capture axis position within 20 nano seconds on occurrence of latch signal. AL command arms latch. Input 1 is latch for A axis. Input 2 is latch for B axis if using DMC-3425
