Motor Ports (MotionLinx-Ai Only)
Both ports utilize a 4-pin M8 male receptacle. Each receptacle is mechanically keyed to assure proper orientation upon plugging in.

!During normal operation as an MDR port, the internal protection circuitry is not capable of detecting a short-circuit between a BLDC coil output and ground. Such a short-circuit will cause damage to the high-side bridge transistors. When operating these outputs as general purpose outputs, the high-side transistors are disabled, so a pin-to-ground short-circuit is not an issue
