Digital I/O – X21

The servo drive provides 4 digital inputs and 2 digital outputs on the X21 DB9 (9-pin D-sub) port.

All inputs and outputs can be used to initiate pre-programmed actions. A list of actions is included in WorkBench. If an input, or output is programmed, it must be saved to the servo drive.

Maximum distance for unshielded I/O lines is 3m inside the cabinet. Ensure EMC shielding if the I/O cable leaves the cabinet.

Depending on the selected function, the inputs are high or low active. Set the digital input filter in WorkBench to change sensitivity of the inputs (see Online Help).

 

Type 1 digital inputs according to IEC61131-2 have the following input voltage current characteristics:

 

Channel Type Explanation

DIN1, DIN2

Fast, 24V,
61131-2
Type 1 input

An isolated, current sinking digital input referred to GND_24V. The threshold and current characteristics are IEC61131-2 Type 1. The activation delay (0->1) is <1μs and the de-activation delay (1->0) is <1μs. Additional filtering also takes place in the FPGA with selectable filter values. Can also support quadrature feedback.

DIN3, DIN4

Slow, 24V, 61131-2
Type 1 input

An isolated, current sinking digital input referred to GND_24V. The threshold and current characteristics are IEC61131-2 Type 1. The activation delay (0->1) is on the order of 5μs and the de-activation delay (1- >0) is on the order of 500μs. Additional filtering also takes place in the FPGA with selectable filter values.

DOUT1, DOUT2

Slow, 24V,
Digital output

An isolated pair of volt-free contacts. Collector (+) and emitter (-) brought out to separate pins. 100mA rated with latch off upon over-current.
