Pin #	Signal	Function	Object Mapping
1	+5 V *	Supply for external use 100 mA max
2	Analog In 2 -	Differential - **	Analog input 2 (0x2402)
3	Analog In 2 +	Differential + **	Analog input 2 (0x2402)
4	GND	Ground
5	Analog In 1	Single-ended 0-5 V	Analog input 1 (0x2401)
6	+10 V***	Supply for external use 25 mA max

* The supply is protected against short to ground and keeps the current below 400mA in a continuous short.

** V _diff,max = 5 V; Common mode voltage V _cm = -1…5V.

*** The supply is protected against short to ground and keeps the current below 100mA in a continuous short.

The Analog Inputs have a 12 bit resolution

External Encoder

Note

The encoder ports are connected by a multiplexer to the same circuits as the integrated encoders. This means that if external encoder 1 is used, integrated encoder 1 can not be used. External encoder 2 can be used with ABI or HALL only when the integrated encoder 2 is used.

Please refer to the following image for details:

External Encoder 1

Note

This connector also carries the pins for the battery that is required if the optional integrated encoder 1 is used with Multi-Turn. For selecting a suitable battery, please check these notes.

Attention

If the integrated encoder 1 is used, the external encoder 1 can not be used.

* Fast ABI is supported from firmware 5.0 on

Using the external encoder 2 and the internal encoder 2 at the same time

Since firmware 4.4 it is possible to use the external encoder 2 and the internal encoder 2 at the same time.

Attention

Simultaneously, the integrated encoder 2 and the external encoder 2 can only be used with HALL or ABI (Single-Ended or Differential but not Fast ABI).

* This is a +3.3 V supply that can provide up to 250 mA for external use.

The supply is protected against short to ground and keeps the current below 400mA in a continuous short.

** Current output capacity of all configured digital outputs is ±20 mA (Sink and source)

*** This is a +5 V supply that can provide up to 250 mA for external use.

The supply is protected against short to ground and keeps the current below 400mA in a continuous short.

Note

The Digital I/Os are globally configurable as 3.3 V or 5 V.

This configuration is done in object 0x2214 “GPIO global options”

Note

Each Digital IO needs to be configured as a Digital Input or Output via object 0x2210 (“GPIO”).

The object can also be used to activate a pull-down resistor.

Changes may require to powercycle the servo drive.

EtherCAT / STO-SBC IN & OUT

Note

This connector features both pins, for EtherCAT as well as for STO/SBC to facilitate true daisy chaining.

Details for the required hybrid cable can be found here.

Important

Please note that Safety GND is an isolated signal from drive GND.

Attention

When not using the STO-SBC feature, please attach a +24 V supply to Pin 1 and 2 and Ground to Pin 3. It’s possible to daisy-chain these signals to other servo drives.
