Port Interfacing Notes
◆ The six opto-isolators are 6N137 devices.
Each port input passes through a 390 ohm
series resistor to the cathode. Each port re-
turn comes directly from the anode. The bi-
phase/tach inputs share the same return.
◆ The two TTL-level GPI outputs are driven
by a 74FCT541. Each output passes
through a 220 ohm series resistor.
◆ The fuse is thermally activated. The cur-
rent rating varies between 1.0 A at 60˚C
and 1.5 A at 20˚C. The time to trip varies
with temperature and current. The typical
time to trip at 1.5 A is 5 minutes. Time to
trip at 8 A is 5 seconds. After tripping, the
fuse will return to its low-resistance state
when the current is reduced sufficiently.
