Configuring the Kinetix 3 Drive Chapter 5
Understanding the Digital
Inputs Window The Properties window for Digital Inputs looks like this.
Use the Digital Inputs window to:
• assign functions to digital inputs, and
• monitor the status of digital inputs.
Selecting a function in the Value selection box causes that function to become
active when the associated Digital Input becomes active.
WARNING: By default, Input 1 is assigned the function Drive Enable. If
you change the assignments so that Drive Enable is not assigned to any
input, the drive automatically enable on powerup. Be aware that, in this
case, the motor may start moving on powerup.
This may result in abrupt and unexpected motion.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the machine,
severe bodily injury, or the loss of life.
TIP Index Input 1 through 64 serve a unique purpose. Instead of activating a
function, Index Input 1 through 64 are combined to produce a binary value
that defines which digital input becomes active. The drive sums the binary
values and uses the resulting integer to determine which Index will be used.
