NOTE: On
the Standard
MDrivePlus, when
configured as outputs, the
I/O set is sinking ONLY!
The Plus 2 Models add the
functionality of I/O Power,
which enables the user to use
all the outputs, both Standard
and Enhanced, as Sinking or
Sourcing.

Active LOW example:
IO 1 is to be configured as a Jog– input which will activate when a switch is toggled to ground (Sinking
Input):
S1=8,0,0
Active HIGH example:
IO 4 is to be configured as a Home input which will activate when instructed by a PLC (+24VDC Sourcing
Input):
S4=1,1,1
MDrivePlus Motion Control Digital Output Functions
The MDrivePlus Motion Control Outputs may be configured as general purpose or set to one of two dedi-
cated functions, Fault or Moving. These outputs will sink up to 600 mA (one channel of two banks) and may
be connected to an external VDC source. See Output Functions Table and I/O Ratings Table.
The outputs are set using the "S" comand (See MDrive Motion Control Sofware Reference Manual for
precise details on this command). The command is entered into the IMS terminal or program file as S<IO
point>=<IO Type>,<Active State><Sink/Source>.
Example:
S9=17,1,0
S3=18,0,0
Programmable Output Functions
The MDrivePlus Motion Control Output functions may be programmed to be a general purpose user output
or to one of five output functions.
