AX2500/2850’s Inputs and Outputs

In addition to the RS232 and R/C channel communication lines, the AX2500/2850 includes several inputs and outputs for various sensors and actuators. Depending on the selected operating mode, some of these I/Os provide feedback and/or safety information to the con- troller.

When the controller operates in modes that do not use these I/O, these signals become available for user application. Below is a summary of the available signals and the modes in which they are used by the controller or available to the user.

TABLE 11. AX2500/2850 I/O functions

Signal	I/O type	Use	Activated
Out C	2A Digital Output	User	Always active. Activated using R/C channel 3 (R/C
		defined	mode), or serial command (RS232 mode)
Out D	Low Current	User	Always active. Activated using R/C channel 3 (R/C
	Digital Output	defined	mode), or serial command (RS232 mode) - (Not
			available on AX2850)
Inp F	Digital Input	User	Active in RS232 mode only. Read with serial com-
		defined	mand (RS232)
		Activate	When Input is configured to drive Output C
		Output C
		Turn FETs	When Input is configured as “dead man switch”
		On/Off	input
Inp E	Digital Input	Same as Input F - (Not available on AX2850)
EStop/Invert	Digital Input	Emer-	When Input is configured as Emergency Stop
		gency stop	switch input.
		Invert	When Input is configured as Invert Controls
		Controls	switch input.
		User	When input is configured as general purpose.
		defined	Read with serial command (RS232).
Sensor 1	Analog Input	Tachome-	When Channel 1 is configured in Closed Loop
		ters input	Speed Control
		Position	When Channel 1 is configured in Closed Loop
		sensing	Position Control
		Tempera-	When Channel 1 is configured is Open Loop
		ture sensor	Speed Control and Motor Temperature protection
			is enabled
		User	When Channel 1 is configured as Open Loop
		defined	Speed Control and Temperature protection is dis-
			abled. Read with serial command (RS232).
Sensor 2	Analog Input	Same as Sensor 1
