1 Home Input - Which of the drive digital inputs is the "home input" [II]

Each Technosoft drive has a dedicated "Home" input that is used in the homing procedures. The corresponding digital input is presented in the table below. Family Drive Home Input iPOS line of intelligent drives iPOS2401 iPOS3602 iPOS3604 iPOS4803 iPOS4808…

2 How to disable the default functionality of the limit switch inputs [GB/CM, II]

The default action of the limit switch inputs is to block the movement when they become active (e.g.: when LSP is active, the motor can only move in negative direction; when LSN is active, the motor can only move in positive direction). To disable this default…

3 Special inputs on Technosoft drives [GB, II]

Most Technosoft drives have 3 special inputs: Limit Switch Positive (LSP), Limit Switch Negative (LSN) and ENABLE *. LSP / LSN inputs prevent movements outside of the working area that is defined by the limit switches. The motor will be stopped if it's moving…

4 Exit from limit switch [GB]

There are 2 conditions which must be fulfill in order to exit the limit switch: - the motor must standstill (bit 10 - "Motion is completed" in the SRL register is set), after the limit switch is hit; - the motion profile to exit from the limit switch must…

5 Drive digital I/Os handling

1. Digital inputs status reading The status of one or of multiple digital inputs can be checked using a 16 bits - integer type user variable. The corresponding TML code lines are: - variable_name = IN(input_number); /*read one input status in an user variable*/…

6 Analog output emulation on iPOS drives

As the iPOS drives are fully digital, a standard analog output is not available. For such cases, in which an analog output is required, it can be emulated using one of the drive PWM outputs. The output voltage being controlled by modifying the PWM output…

7 How to disable the 'ENABLE' input default functionality and use it as general I/Os [GB]

The default functionality associated to ENABLE input is to disable the power stage of the drive when it goes in the disabled state. The default functionality is disabled, i.e. the ENABLE input becomes a general purpose input if the following TML instruction…
