Input Event
COM1 pin7 High to Low
COM1 pin7 Low to High
COM2 pin7 High to Low
COM2 pin7 Low to High
A total of four trigger voltage outputs are available for generating trigger inputs. The outputs
can be forced high or low (the voltage depends on whether you select RS232 or RS422/485)
and are configured on the Passthrough page. (Note that passthrough is only supported on
COM 2 so COM 1 outputs cannot be forced). The outputs are:
COM1 pin1 RTS
COM1 pin2 DTR
COM2 pin1 RTS
COM2 pin2 DTR
Example 1
This example uses an external power source. Connect an external power supply (+8V to
+12V) and a switch directly to the ground pin and an event pin of the COM 2 port on the
encoder.
Example 2
This example uses the VBrick COM port output. Connect the COM output pin (COM2 pin1
RTS or COM2 pin2 DTR) through a switch to a COM event pin. For this method to work,
you must force the desired output pin (RTS or DTR) to
To force the desired output pin to On:
