Digital inputs
4 digital inputs are available on the control unit.
The electrically isolated inputs can be used as freely addressable inputs.
Switches or proximity encoders (2- or 3-wire encoders) can be connected.
Bidirectional digital inputs/outputs
4 digital inputs/outputs (DI/DO) are available on the SIMOTION D410.
The following application options are available when configuring the DI/DO as digital inputs:
● The DI/DO9, 10 and 11 can be used as "fast inputs" for probes or for external zero marks.
● All 4 DI/DO can be used as user-addressable inputs or as homing inputs.
The following application options are available when configuring the DI/DO as digital outputs:
● Use as onboard outputs
● Use as "fast cam outputs"

Manual, 02/2012
In the event of a signal edge on the respective input, the actual values of one or more
encoders are measured to the exact position in order to determine lengths and distances.
The inputs can be arranged in any way; the special application is activated in the
SIMOTION SCOUT Engineering System.
Note
Shielded cables are required when connecting probes or external zero marks to ensure
optimum noise immunity.
