4.4.3 Error output - Error Out
The error output is available on pin b11. This
100 mA output can be used to stop external
equipment in the event of an error. The output
level can be controlled using jumpers JP3, JP4
and JP5, which are situated at the top edge of the
card. Connect the load as shown in Figure 12.
Figure 12 - Error Out level configuration
There are a number of methods for controlling the error output:
4.4.3.1 GLOBALERROROUTPUT keyword
By default, the error output is used as the global error output. In the event of an error on any
axis, the global error output will be deactivated. This action overrides the state of the error
output defined by other methods, such as the drive enable status or
RELAY
keyword.
Alternatively, the
GLOBALERROROUTPUT
keyword can be used to configure a general purpose
digital output to be the global error output.
4.4.3.2 RELAY keyword
If the NextMove ES is connected to an opto-isolated backplane (optional) the output directly
controls the relay (see section 5.3.1.1). For this reason, the error output can be controlled by
the
RELAY
keyword. The command
RELAY(0)=1
will enable the error output; the command
RELAY(0)=0
will disable it. These commands are valid regardless of whether an
opto-isolating backplane is actually connected.
4.4.3.3 DRIVEENABLEOUTPUT keyword
The
DRIVEENABLEOUTPUT
keyword can be used to configure the error output as the drive
enable output. For example, the command
DRIVEENABLEOUTPUT(1)=_RELAY0
will mean
that the error output will be the drive enable output for axis 1. When axis 1 is enabled, the
error output will be activated and the axis enabled. If multiple axes are configured to use the
error output as their drive enable output, enabling one axis will enable all of them. Similarly, if
one axis is disabled, all will be disabled. The
RELAY
keyword cannot control the error output if
is configured as a drive enable output.
See the Mint help file for details of each keyword.
