Input Signal

Input signals of the drive are all photocoupler protected. The signal shows the status of internal photocouplers [ON: conduction], [OFF: Non-conduction], not displaying the voltage levels of the signal.

◆ CW, CCW Input: This signal can be used to receive a positioning pulse command from a user host motion controller. The user can select 1-pulse input mode or 2-pulse input mode. The input schematic of CW, CCW is designed for 5V TTL level. When using 5V level as an input signal, the resistor Rx is not used and connect to the driver directly. When the level of input signal is more than 5V, Rx resistor is required. If the resistor is absent, the drive will be damaged. If the input signal level is 12V, Rx value is 680ohm and 24V, Rx value is 1.8Kohm.

Alarm Reset signal line is also used of r Motor Free signal.
◆ Motor Free Input: This input can be used only to adjust the position by manually moving the motor shaft from the load-side. By setting the signal [ON], the drive cuts off the power supply to the motor. Then, one can manually adjust output position. When setting the signal back to [OFF], the drive resumes the power supply to the motor and recovers the holding torque. When driving a motor, one needs to set the signal [OFF]. In normal operations set the signal [OFF] or disconnect a wire to the signal. It operates reversely compare to Normal mode, when you set Inverse mode.

◆ Alarm Reset Input: When a protection mode has been activated, a signal to this Alarm Reset input cancels the Alarm output. By setting the alarm reset input signal [ON], cancel Alarm output. Before cancel the Alarm output, have to remove the source of alarm.; [Caution]] If Alarm Reset input signal still remains [ON], motor will be Free state. Keep in mind to change [ON]→[OFF] state.

Output Signal

As the output signal from the drive, there are the photocoupler outputs (Alarm, Run/Stop). The signal status operate as [ON : conduction], [OFF : Non-conduction] of photocoupler not as the voltage level of signal.

◆ Alarm Output: The Alarm output indicates [OFF] when the drive is in a normal operation. If a protection mode has been activated, it goes [ON]. A host controller meeds to detect this signal and stop sending a motor driving command. When the drive detects an abnormal operation such as overload of overcurrent of a motor, it sets the Alarm output to [ON], flash the Alarm LED, disconnects the power to a motor, and stops the motor, simultaneously. It operates reversely compare to Normal mode, when you set Inverse mode.

◆ Run/Stop Output: Run/Stop Output state is [ON] when motor positioning is completed. It operates reversely compare to Normal mode, when you set inverse mode.
