The MDrive Motion Control Outputs may be configured as either general purpose or set to one of two dedicated functions, Fault or Moving. These outputs will sink up to 700 mA max and may be connected to +5 to +24VDC. Note that a current limiting resistor may be required to limt the current to 700 mA.
As with the inputs the MDrive Motion Control Outputs may be used singularly or collectively as a group.
