Digital Input Circuit
Capture Input
The capture input provides a snapshot of the encoder counts accumulated to that point. It is triggered on
a falling edge of the input signal. If a digital interface is used, the capture circuit is compatible with either
push-pull or open collector (internal pull-up is present in the drive). It is recommended that for higher
frequency capture triggering, a push-pull interface should be used. See section 4.3.7 for more information
regarding electrical specifications.

Figure 23a: Digital input circuit for Capture, Enable, Brake and Limit Switch Inputs
For Enable, Brake, Limit Switch Pos, & Limit Switch Neg:
R= 20KΩ and C = 4700pF.
For Capture:
R=10KΩ and C=5pF.
Step & Direction Inputs
See section 9.1 for functional application regarding step & direction inputs. The states of these pins can
be monitored in CompleteArchitect
. There is the option to set the steps per revolution in
CompleteArchitect
. The software will divide the Desired Steps per Rev. into the Encoder resolution.
For high frequency stepping a push-pull interface is required. The drive includes a pull-up on the internal
circuit and can be interfaced to an open collector for low frequency stepping. See section 4.3.7 for more
information regarding electrical specifications.
