I/O Setup Group

The I/O Setup group contains views that control input and output functions as well as other drive functions. These views are as
follows: Selector, Assignments, Input Lines, Output Lines, Analog Inputs, and Analog Outputs. These can be viewed by
expanding I/O Setup then simply clicking on any one of the setup views underneath the I/O Setup.

Assignments

External control capability is provided through the use of assignments to the Sources (Drive Inputs) or the Destinations (Drive
Outputs). Assignments provide a mechanism for the user to define the internal and external dynamic control structure to
separate complex motion profiles. These functions directly correspond to any input or output line on the drive. External
controllers, such as a PLC or other motion controllers, may be connected to affect or monitor the drive's operation.
All inputs and outputs are configured as sourcing and are designed to operate from a +10 Vdc to +30 Vdc power source. The
user is responsible for limiting the output current to less than 200 mA for each digital output.
The drive is equipped with sixteen optically isolated input lines (one dedicated to a Drive Enable function) and can be
accessed through the 26-pin dsub connector (J3) located on the front of the drive.
