AZ Series EtherCAT Compatible Driver:
AZD-AED, AZD-CED, AZD-KED, AZD2A-KED, AZD2B-KED, AZD3A-KED, AZD4A-KED, AZD-KRED

You can run the motor without connecting the direct input (CN9 for AZD□D-KED, CN7 for AZD-□ED), but it may be necessary in the following cases.

  • I would like to use limit sensors (+LS, -LS)
  • I would like to perform return-to-home using a sensor
  • I would like to input signals directly to the driver without a host master
  • I would like to use external latch input signals (EXT1, EXT2) for touch probe function
  • *+LS and -LS become FW-LS and RV-LS in the upper master
  • *The home sensor is HOMES in the host master
