R S 2 3 2 port supports the industry standard full

duplex ASCII protocol. This allows easy

connection to almost any device with a serial

p o r t .

RS485 port supports m u l t i - d ro p and allows up

to 16 MintDrives

T M

to be linked together on an

RS485 network.

Comms Array p rovide an efficient way to

transfer data bidirectionally between a MINT™

p r ogram running on the motion drive and a

separate user program running on the host

c o n t ro l l e r. Comms arrays give the RS485 serial

port the same functionality as a parallel dual port

r a m .

I n p u t / O u t p u t

Eight User Inputs a re read independently or as

bytes of information. Eight user inputs may be

c o n f i g u red to interrupt the MINT pro g r a m .

Nine User Outputs can be written to

i n d e p e n d e n t l y, or as a single byte of information.

All user outputs are over- current protected and a

fault condition will generate an ERROR

command to the MINT program. One digital

output that can be toggled at programmable axis

p o s i t i o n s .

Four Analog Inputs can be read as two 12 bit

inputs and two 10 bit inputs.

Four Analog Outputs of 8 bit re s o l u t i o n .

Drive enable, forward and reverse l i m i t s and a

motor t h e r m o s t a t input control the power stage

of the drive. Their status may be read from a

MINT pro g r a m .

An optional auxiliary I/O breakout board

(OPT 017-501) for connection to X5 in available.

The board has two-part screw terminals for all of

the digital inputs and outputs, analog I/O, along

with indicator LEDs. A 6ft (2m) cable (CBL 022-

502) is available for connection.
