1) DC input signal A
DC input signal A is a category of signals sent from machine
components (such as pushbutton, limit switch, relay contact) to the
Power Mate.
2) DC input signal B
DC input signal B is a category of signals sent from the machine to
the Power Mate for high–speed operation.
This category uses a noninsulated interface in which the signals can
be switched between a sink type (24 V common) and a source type
(0 V common). However, the emergency stop input is fixed to a sink
type (24 V common). In addition, safety standards require the sink
type be used.
Both DC input signals A and B should satisfy the following
conditions for contacts on the machine side
Contact capacity:
30 VDC, 16 mA or greater
Open–circuit contact–to–contact leakage:
1 mA or less (for 26.4 V)
Closed–circuit contact–to–contact voltage drop:
2 V or less (for 8.5 mA, including a voltage drop across
the cable)
