8.4. Input/output synchronization
Connector P5 is used for input and output synchronization and for serial RS485 communication.
There is one, galvanically isolated, synchronization input. This input can be connected directly to the
system for voltages up to 24 V. An external series resistor is not necessary. The synchronization
input may be left unconnected when not used. The state of the synchronization input is shown by a
green LED indicator on the top panel of the controller.
There is one, galvanically isolated, synchronization output. This output can be used, for example, to
trigger a camera or a slave controller. This output can be connected directly to the system for
voltages up to 24 V. The state of the synchronization output is shown by a yellow LED indicator on
the top panel of the controller.
Connector P5 also provides three signals for a non-electrically isolated serial RS485 interface and
two signals for one optional and non-electrically isolated external temperature sensor. The activity of
the serial RS485 interface is shown by a dedicated yellow LED on the top panel of the controller.
See the following section for more information about connector P5.
8.4.1. Synchronization input
The synchronization input is available on the TR+ and TR- terminals of connector P5. These signals
are listed in

Figure 2: interface circuit for input synchronization
depicts the internal input circuit.
An internal constant current generator connected in series with the input allows for a broad range of
input voltages without any need for a series resistor. The input can be directly driven by voltages up
to 24 V.
