Configuring the Ultra5000 Drive Chapter 4
The following parameters can be entered and edited in the Digital Inputs
window.
The following display is the default status for a Digital Inputs branch of an online
drive.
Customize the Digital Inputs window for your Ultra5000 Drive by selecting one
or more of these commands:
• Click Show Status to display or hide the Status pane.
• Click Setup to open the Monitor Setup window, where you can customize
the status display for this window.
• Click Revert to return parameter settings to the values they held when you
opened this window.
Parameter Description
Input 1 – 16 Name Type in the name of the input. The default value is a number
from 1 to 16.
Input 1 – 16 Polarities The desired polarity for each input.
• Active High: The input is considered “on” when a positive
voltage is detected at the input.
• Active Low: The input is considered “on” when no voltage is
detected at the input.
This is especially useful when configuring an input as a
hardware limit, with a normally closed switch. In this case,
setting the input’s polarity to Active Low opens the switch when
the limit is hit, which causes the drive to detect the hard limit.
Status Description
Input 1 – 16 State The current state, or condition, of each digital input is depicted
by a light bulb icon, as follows:
• ON: A bright light bulb
• OFF: A darkened light bulb.
