Serial Communication
RS-485 requires internal jumper and DIP switch configuration (see page 10).
Connection Options.................................................. RS-232C (3-wire); RS-485 (2- or 4-wire);
Change internal switches SW1, SW2, and SW3, and internal jumper JU2 to position 3 to
select RS-485 communication for COM 2 port..
Default for RS-485 is 2-wire. Change internal switch SW3 to select 4-wire.
Maximum units in daisy-chain or multi-drop......... 99 (use ADDR command to set individual addresses for each unit)
Communication Parameters................................... 9600 baud , 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity;
RS-232: Full or half duplex; RS-485: Half duplex (see page 10)
Inputs
ALL INPUTS ARE OPTICALLY ISOLATED
**
Home, POS/NEG Limits ........................................ Switching voltage levels based on V_I/O*; internal 6.8 KΩ pull-ups to AUX-P terminal
(connect AUX-P to +5V or external power supply to source current or connect AUX-P to ISO
GND
to sink current); voltage range is 0-24V.
Encoder..................................................................... Differential comparator accepts two-phase quadrature incremental encoders with
differential (recommended) or single-ended outputs.
Maximum voltage = 5VDC. Switching levels (TTL-compatible): Low ≤ 0.4V, High ≥ 2.4V.
Maximum frequency = 1.2 MHz. Minimum time between transitions = 833 ns.
16 General-Purpose Programmable ..................... HCMOS compatible* with internal 6.8 KΩ pull-ups to IN-P terminal (connect IN-P to +5V to
source current or connect IN-P to Iso GND to sink current). Voltage range = 0-24V.
Triggers: TRG-A and TRG-B ............................... Switching voltage levels based on V_I/O*; internal 6.8 KΩ pull-ups to AUX-P terminal
(connect AUX-P to +5V or external power supply to source current or connect AUX-P to Iso
GND
to sink current); voltage range is 0-24V.
Outputs
ALL OUTPUTS ARE OPTICALLY ISOLATED
***
9 Programmable (includes OUT-A)......................... Open collector output with 4.7 KΩ pull-ups. Can be pulled up by connecting OUT-P to +5V,
or to user-supplied voltage of up to 24V. Max. voltage in the OFF state (not sinking
current) = 24V, max. current in the ON state (sinking) = 300mA.
Includes the 8 general-purpose outputs on the Programmable I/O connector, and the OUT-A
terminal on the I/O connector.
+5V Output +5V terminals are available on the COM2, ENCODER, AUXILIARY and I/O connectors. Load
limit (total load for all I/O connections) is 100mA.

* Switching voltage levels for HOM, POS, NEG, TRG-A , TRG-B are based on V_I/O input voltage level:
Low ≤ 1/3 (V_I/O) volts, High ≥ 2/3 (V_I/O) volts.
** HCMOS-compatible voltage levels (low ≤ 1.00V, high ≥ 3.25V).
*** Inputs and outputs are optically isolated from the internal microprocessor, but not isolated from other inputs or outputs.
