INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL SPECIFICATIONS
e input/output signals wired to the 23-pin connector can be grouped by type as follows; their
electrical characteristics are discussed below.
• driver outputs
• digital inputs
• analog inputs with virtual digital input
• encoder inputs
• serial port
• auxiliary power supplies
• CANbus interface
Driver Outputs
e 1353 contains nine identical driver outputs. ese outputs have all the features necessary to drive
proportional valves as well as many other inductive and non-inductive loads. A variable amount of
dither (xed frequency command “jitter”) can be added to the PWM to prevent proportional valves
from sticking in place.

e drivers can be set for Constant Current, Constant Voltage, or Direct PWM control mode.
In Constant Current mode, the driver command of 0 to 100% is interpreted as a current from 0 to
Max Output setting (up to 3 amps). Internal current shunts are measured and fed back to a closed
loop PI controller to provide a steady current over changing loads and supply voltages.
In Constant Voltage mode, the driver command of 0 to 100% is interpreted as a voltage from 0 to
Max Output (up to 80 volts). e battery voltage is constantly monitored and fed back to a closed
loop PI controller to provide a steady voltage, compensating for battery droop and discharge. If the
command is higher than the driver can output, the PWM will max out at 100%.
In Direct PWM mode, the driver command of 0 to 100% is directly output on the driver.
