Isolated Input Interface and Connection

Optically Isolated Logic Inputs

The MDrivePlus Microstepping has three optically iso- lated inputs which are located at the flying leads or on connector P1. These inputs are iso- lated to minimize or eliminate electrical noise coupled onto the drive control signals. Each input is internally pulled- up to the level of the optocoupler supply and may be connected to sinking or +5 to +24 VDC
