6	+10 V**

* This is a 5 V supply that can provide up to 100 mA for external use.

The supply is protected against short to ground and keeps the current below 400mA in a continuous short.

** This is a 10 V supply that can provide up to 25 mA for external use.

The supply is protected against short to ground and keeps the current below 100mA in a continuous short.

Error Before Calibration: 1.5%

The Analog Inputs have a 12 bit resolution

The signals are available in different objects according to the type of Analog Input:

Note

* The Single-ended analog input is mapped to AI1 (0x2401)

* The Differential analog input is mapped to AI2 (0x2402)

External Encoder

Note

The encoder ports are connected by a multiplexer to the same circuits as the integrated encoders. This means that if external encoder 1 is used, integrated encoder 1 can not be used. External encoder 2 can be used with ABI or HALL only when the integrated encoder is used.

Please refer to the following image for details:

External Encoder 1

Note

This connector also carries the pins for the battery that is required if the optional integrated encoder 1 is used with Multi-Turn. For selecting a suitable battery, please check these notes..

Attention

If the integrated encoder 1 is used, the external encoder 1 can not be used.

Using the external encoder 2 and the internal encoder 2 at the same time

Since firmware 4.4 it is possible to use the external encoder 2 and the internal encoder 2 at the same time.

Attention

Simultaneously, the integrated encoder 2 and the external encoder 2 can only be used with HALL or ABI (Differential or Single-Ended).

* This is a +3.3 V supply that can provide up to 250 mA for external use.

The supply is protected against short to ground and keeps the current below 400mA in a continuous short.

** Current output capacity of all configured digital outputs is ±20 mA (Sink and source)

*** This is a +5 V supply that can provide up to 250 mA for external use.

The supply is protected against short to ground and keeps the current below 400mA in a continuous short.

Note

The Digital I/Os are globally configurable as 3.3 V or 5 V.

This configuration is done in object 0x2214 “GPIO global options”

Note

Each Digital IO needs to be configured as a Digital Input or Output via object 0x2210 (“GPIO”).

The object can also be used to activate a pull-down resistor.

Changes may require to powercycle the servo drive.

EtherCAT / STO-SBC IN & OUT

Note

This connector features both pins, for EtherCAT as well as for STO/SBC to facilitate true daisy chaining.

Important

Please note that Safety GND is an isolated signal from drive GND.

Attention

When not using the STO-SBC feature, please attach a +24 V supply to Pin 1 and 2 and Ground to Pin 3. It’s possible to daisy-chain these signals to other servo drives.
