Safety charge pump 5 kHz output
Inputs for limit, home and probing switches can be freely connected to any PoKeys pin and
configured in software.
Remarks:
-
Watch for pin 47! It is not used for step output!
-
All switch inputs expect normally closed (NC) switches and must be connected between
specified PoKeys input pin and ground.
-
We advise adding an additional 1 kΩ pull-up resistor on pins with an external switch
-
Emergency switch must be connected in such way so that it cuts the power supply to the
motors when the switch is activated.
