Notes:
to avoid interference: (1) shield control signal wires; (2) don’t tie PUL/DIR control signal cable and motor
wires together;
3.2 P2 - Fault Output Connector
Pin
Details
ALM+
Fault Output Connection: Optional.
(1)
Maximum 24V/80mA output when over-voltage and
over-current error protections activated.
(2)
Sinking or sourcing.
(3)
The resistance between
ALM+ and ALM- is low impedance as default (configurable by DIP switch SW12), and will
change to high when the drive goes into error protection.

3.5 Status LED Lights
There are two LED lights for EM542S. The GREEN one is the power indicator which should be always on in normal
circumstance. The RED one is a drive status indication light, which will be OFF while working normally but ON and
flash 1-2 times in a 3-second period in the case of enabled over-voltage or over-current protection.
4. Control Signal and Fault Output
4.1 Control Signal Connection
The EM542S can accept differential or single-ended control signals (pulse, direction, and enable) in open-collector or
PNP connection through the P1 connector (figure 2). It is recommend to add an EMI line filter between the power
supply and the drive to increase noise immunity for the drive in interference environments.
