Single- and
Multi-unit
control
For controlling a single 5345/5445, use RS-232 communications
and install cable as described in section 2.5.3.1 “J3 Serial Port -
RS-232 Connection.”
For controlling multiple 5345/5445s, use RS-422 or RS-485
communications, which permit a single PC to host from 1 to 31
5345/5445s (each requiring a unique switch selectable address).
For detailed information on setup refer to section 2.5.3.2 “Serial
Port - RS-422 or RS-485 Connection.”
Digital I/O
Enable input - One dedicated input to enable the controller.
Connecting this input to I/O Return enables the 5345/5445.
Fault output - An open collector (NPN) dedicated output
showing controller fault status. This output turns off to indicate a
fault. Maximum current sinking capability is 50 milliamperes
and maximum off voltage is 24 volts.
General inputs - 16 inputs to support logic type interfaces. The
input circuitry is intended to be operated with open collector type
circuitry. These inputs can be polled under software control.
Seven of the 16 inputs can be pre-defined for specific functions:
LIMIT +/-, START/STOP, JOG +/- and mechanical HOME
SWITCH.
General outputs - 12 open collector discrete outputs under
software control. Each output can sink a maximum of 50
milliamperes. Maximum off voltage is 24 volts. One of the 12
outputs can be pre-defined for MOTOR MOVING status.
Encoder I/O - The external encoder I/O port permits interfacing
to quadrature type encoder signals for applications such as
electronic gearing. This input can also be configured by software
as a step and direction input.
Note: Factory default is for quadrature encoder inputs.
Step/Dir Out - The Step/Dir output permits controlling external
devices so they can follow step and direction from the 5345/5445.
This output signal is present as long as the 5345/5445 is enabled
and executing any motion profile.
