Connecting to the Aux Analog Input
The auxiliary analog input on the MSSTAC6 IN/OUT 2 connector can be used by Feed to Sensor
commands and other input functions when operating the drive in Host mode. The analog input can also be
read back to the Host using the IA immediate type and RA buffered type Host commands. Readings are in
Volts.
See Host Command Reference for more information.
+5 volt DC is provided for powering potentiometers. A 1000 to 10000 ohm potentiometer is
recommended and should be connected as shown below.
A 0 to 5 volt analog signal may also be used. Usually this signal comes from a PLC, a PC with data
acquisition card or a motion controller. Connections are shown below.
The +5V terminal is an output. Do not connect it to a power supply.
