j. FAULT output
The DRV drives feature a digital FAULT output. This output closes to signal a
fault condition.
This output can be used to drive LEDs, relays and the inputs of other elec
-
tronic 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. Diagrams of each type of connec
-
tion follow.
