Signal Specifications
This section provides a description of the Kinetix 5500 digital inputs, Ethernet
communication, power and relay specifications, encoder feedback specifications,
and safe torque-off features.
Digital Inputs
Two digital inputs are available for the machine interface on the IOD connector.
Digital inputs require a 24V DC @ 15 mA supply. These are sinking inputs that
require a sourcing device. A common and cable shield connection is provided on
the IOD connector for digital inputs.
The Registration 1 input is capable of dual functionality. You can also use this as
the Home input. Configuration for dual functionality is not needed.

Function Description Default Behavior
Home/Reg1
An active state indicates to a homing sequence that the referencing
sensor has been seen. Typically, a transition of this signal is used to
establish a reference position for the machine axis.
The function is always inactive. You can enable in the Logix
Designer application.
Registration 1 An inactive-to-active transition (also known as a positive transition) or
active-to-inactive transition (also known as a negative transition) is
used to latch position values for use in registration moves.
Registration 2
