Sequence Output Circuits
Photocoupler Output Circuits
Photocoupler output circuits are used for the ALM (Servo Alarm), /S-RDY (Servo Ready), and
other sequence output signals. Connect a photocoupler output circuit to a relay or line-receiver
circuit.
Note: The maximum allowable voltage and current range for photocoupler output circuits are as follows:
•
Maximum allowable voltage: 30 VDC
•
Current range: 5 mA to 50 mA DC
Line-Driver Output Circuits
This section describes CN1 connector terminals 17-18 (Phase-A Signal), 19-20 (Phase-B Sig-
nal), and 21-22 (Phase-C Signal).
The serial data from the encoder is converted to two-phase (phases A and B) pulses. The
resulting output signals (PAO, /PAO and PBO, /PBO), origin pulse signal (PCO and /PCO), and
the absolute encoder position output signals (PSO and /PSO) are output with line-driver output
circuits. Connect the line-driver output circuits to line-receiver circuits at the host controller.
Incorrect wiring or incorrect voltage application to the output circuits may cause short-circuit fail-
ures.
If a short-circuit failure occurs as a result of any of these causes, the holding brake will not work.
This could damage the machine or cause an accident that may result in death or injury.
