Connecting the Enable signal as shown in Figure 17 causes the drive to disable when the
proximity sensor activates.

Connecting a PNP Type Proximity Sensor to an Input
FAULT Output
The NI SMD-7611/7612 has a digital FAULT output. This output closes to signal a fault
condition.
This output can be used to drive LEDs, relays, or the inputs of other electronic devices like PLCs.
The “+” (collector) and “-” (emitter) terminals of the output transistor are available at the
connector. This allows you to configure the output for current sourcing or sinking. Refer to the
following diagrams to configure the FAULT output.
Caution
Do not connect the output to more than 30 VDC. The current through the
output terminal must not exceed 80 mA.
