AX500’s Inputs and Outputs

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 7. AX500 IO signals and definitions

Signal	I/O type	Use	Activated
Out C	2A Digital Output	User	Activated using R/C channel 3 (R/C mode), or
		defined	serial command (RS232 mode)
			Activated when any one motor is powered (when
			enabled)
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
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).
Analog In 1	Analog Input	Tachome-	When Channel 1 is configured in Closed Loop
		ters input	Speed Control with Analog feedback
		Position	When Channel 1 is configured in Closed Loop
		sensing	Position Control with RC or RS232 command and
			Analog feedback
		User	Read value with serial command (RS232).
		defined
Analog In 2	Analog Input 2	Same as Analog 1 but for Channel 2
Analog In 3	Analog Input 3	Position	When Channel 1 is configured in Closed Loop
		sensing	Position Control with Analog command and Ana-
			log feedback
		User	Read value with serial command (RS232).
		defined
Analog In 4	Analog Input 4	Same as Analog 3 but for Channel 4
