    3.6 Deceleration/Instantaneous Stop Switch Input (nIN1 ~ 3) There are three input signals (nIN1, nIN2, nIN3) can make the motor drives deceleration or stop. Each axis has four inputs IN3 ~ IN0, wherein IN0 is used in phase Z interface of encoder feedback, and nIN1, nIN2, and nIN3 are use as input signals near the original point.

    When servo drives have an abnormal condition, they active this signal to note PCM-3240 to stop output pulses. When enable the nALARM func- tion of PCM-3240, the D4 bit of RR2 will set to 1 after nALARM active. If PCM-3240 is driving pulses output, the output pulses will stop immedi- ately when nALARM active.
