2.2.4 Digital Inputs
Start/Stop
is a push-button input: If a 5V signal is applied for a short time, the on/off status of
the drive is switched over. The switch occurs when the 5V signal drops again to 0V. The input
is linked internally to a pull-up resistor so that only a pushbutton to ground (earth) needs to
be connected.
Direction
is a switch input: if a positive 5V signal is applied, the drive rotates to the right
(clockwise). If the signal is 0V, it rotates the other way. This input is linked internally to a
pull-up resistor so that an external switch merely has to be switched to ground (earth).
The wiring of the
Start/Stop
and the
Direction
inputs is shown in Chapter
3.2
.
AUXin
is an input which can be used for various purposes. If the module is operating in one
of the Position Control Modes, the user may connect a pulse train via this input, which will
determine the position/speed of the drive. The input is switched as a digital input and expects
TTL signal levels.
In Pointer Mode, the analog voltage which determines the position of the rotor is set via this
input. It expects a voltage level between 0 and 5V.
This input is triggered internally via a zener diode. When functioning as an analog input, this
may lead to a distortion of the transfer function close to 5V. If this happens, and the program-
mer interface is set to a somewhat greater amplification factor, then the full voltage range can
no longer be exploited. See Chapter
3.8
.
Note: If
AUXin
is switched as a digital input and is expecting a pulse train, this signal must
comply with the TTL specifications and be sufficiently sharply-sloping to pass as quickly as pos-
sible through the undefined range between LOW and HIGH. Pulse signals with very ill-defined
edges may cause oscillations in this range, which will be counted as definite pulses.
In this event, it is recommended to pre-treat the pulses via Schmitt triggers to improve the signal.
2.2.5 Fault Input
The drive is connected to the outputs Phase A, B and C. If two supply lines are changed
around, the direction of the drive will be reversed. The total current consumption of the
power supply section flows across a resistor which is shunt-connected to earth and generates
a voltage drop. This voltage drop can be monitored via the output
Isense
