longer under servo control. If the Off-On-Error function is disabled, the motor will decelerate to a stop
as fast as mechanically possible and the motor will remain in a servo state.

All motion programs that are currently running are terminated when a transition in the Abort input is
detected. For information on setting the Off-On-Error function, see the Command Reference, OE.

Reset Input

When this input is pulled low (to 0 volts), the controller will reset. This is equivalent to pushing the
reset button on the front of the DMC-2x00.

Uncommitted Digital Inputs

The DMC-2x00 has 8 opto-isolated inputs. These inputs can be read individually using the function @
IN[x] where x specifies the input number (1 thru 8). These inputs are uncommitted and can allow the
user to create conditional statements related to events external to the controller. For example, the user
may wish to have the x-axis motor move 1000 counts in the positive direction when the logic state of
IN1goes high.

2x80

Controllers with more than 4 axes have 16 optoisolated inputs which are denoted as Inputs 1 thru 16.

Wiring the Opto-Isolated Inputs

The Opto-isolation inputs have a bi-directional capability. To activate an input, at least 1mA of current
must flow from the input common through the input (see figure 3.1). This can be accomplished by 2
methods:

Method 1: Connect a positive voltage in the range of +5V to +24V (with respect to the input) at the
input common point. Each input is connected to ground to activate the input.

Method 2: Connect ground to the input common point. Each input is activated by connecting a
positive voltage between +5V and +24 volts.

The Opto-Isolation Common Point

The opto-isolated inputs are configured into 2 groups. The general inputs, IN[1]-IN[8], and the
ABORT input are in one group. The signal, INCOM, is a common connection for all inputs in this
group. The limit switches and home switches are in the second group. The signal, LSCOM, is a
common connection for all inputs in this group. Figure 3.1 illustrates the internal circuitry.
