Other Motion I/O ConnectionThe 7340 provides Host +5V, which  is the internal +5 V supply of the host 
computer. It is typically used to detect when the host computer is powered 
and to shut down external motion system components when the host 
computer is turned off or disconnected from the motion accessory.
Caution The host +5 V signal is limited to <100 mA and should not be used to power any 
external devices, except those intended in the host bus monitor circuits on the UMI and 
drive products.
