9.7. Motor Port as Digital I/O

!Motor port as digital I/O is only applicable for a ConveyLinx-ECO module in PLC I/O Mode

External controller must first set bit 15 = 1 in the Set Left/Right Motor Port Digital Control register for the motor port (Left or Right) that is to be used as digital output. If bit 15 = 0, then the ConveyLinx-ECO module ignores the bit 0 thru bit 2 commands and will not provide meaningful status on bits 12 and 14 in the corresponding Left/Right Motor Port Digital I/O Status register for the port in question. Bit 0, bit 1, and bit 2 can be independently set and reset by the PLC and all 3 digital outputs can be energized simultaneously.

Motor Phases as Digital Outputs

*Please note that the ConveyLinx-ECO module switches to GND to complete the circuit

!Short Circuit Error on bit 12 is classified as a “fatal” error that will require either a cycle of power on the ConveyLinx-ECO module or an explicit Motor Fault Reset command from external controller the same as if the port was being used as a motor port.
External controller must continuously write “1” to the Motor Fault Reset register for at least 500 msec for reset to occur
