Command Input (required)
The Gemini drive can accept several types of command input signals. Use the
DMODE command to configure your drive to accept either a pulse input (step/
direction, clockwise/counterclockwise, or encoder), or ±10V velocity command.

Command Inputs
If you use a pulse source to generate step/direction, CW/CCW or encoder tracking
signals, note that the drive’s pulse inputs use differential receivers without opto-
couplers. For best performance, follow these instructions:
Connection Instructions for Pulse inputs
1. Connect your control’s logic ground to the Gemini’s ground, pin 6 or 7. This
connection ensures that the signals stay within the common mode range of the
differential receivers, and must not be omitted.
2. If you use a Compumotor 6K Controller, use the step and direction command cable.
See Cable Specifications later in this appendix for part numbers.
If you use ±10V velocity command input signals, follow these instructions:
Connection Instructions for ±10V Velocity Command Inputs
1. Connect COMMAND+ to pin 23.
2. Connect COMMAND- to pin 24.
3. Connect your controller’s analog ground reference to pin 25.
4. Use the flying lead cable to connect the 50 pin DRIVE I/O connector to your
controller. See Cable Specifications later in this appendix for part numbers.
