8.1.3.4. Forcible Output in Setting of Output Port Function
The command OP (Forcible output) forcibly changes the setting of control output ports of PO0 to PO7 in
the connector CN2.
This function is used to check the interface with the master controller.

the output DRDY (Driver Unit ready) and, thus, opening this output port is to report an occurrence of
alarm. Thereby you can check if the master controller is able to detec the abnormal operation of Driver
Unit.
1) The port name of the 28th pin is PO0 as shown on Table 8-3 “Output ports of the CN2
connector and assigned function.” Table 8-3: Output ports of the CN2 connector and
assigned function
2) Input the password “/NSK ON”.
The port PO0 is forcibly opened.
Input the BS key to terminate to terminate forcible change in output port.
