Bidirectional digital inputs/outputs
The Control Unit has 8 digital inputs/outputs (DI/DO).
When the DI/DO are assigned as digital inputs, they can be used as follows:
● DI/DO9 to 11 and DI/DO13 to 15 can be used as high-speed inputs of measuring inputs
or for external zero marks.
The assignment of the inputs is not fixed, and the special use is activated in the
SIMOTION SCOUT engineering system.
● All eight digital inputs/outputs can be used as freely addressable inputs or as homing
inputs.
When the DI/DO are assigned as digital outputs, they can be used as follows:
● Use as freely addressable outputs
● Use as high-speed DO
● Use as high-speed outputs of output cams
Note
Shielded cables are required when connecting measuring inputs or external zero marks
for optimal noise immunity.
