Diagnostics for the input “Digital input”

If the encoder has an alarm or status output, in 1-channel mode this can be connected to the “Digital input” of the terminal and evaluated. The input is 5 V compatible.

The alarm or status output at the encoder is usually implemented with negative logic. This is indicated by the terminal as follows:

Encoder

ED5112 (1-channel mode)

Alarm output

Digital input
(0x60n0:06 “Status of input status”)

LED “Ch. 1 DI

Meaning

HIGH level / output open

TRUE

off

e.g. encoder OK

LOW level / PullDown - level is actively pulled down to LOW

FALSE

red

e.g. encoder malfunction

If an overvoltage is present at the “Digital input” input, it is displayed as follows:

at channel n

Display

DiagMessage, type “Error”, text ID 0x8315

Error status input (channel n)

0xA0n0:05 “Error input status“
