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.

IMPORTANT To improve registration input EMC performance, refer to the System
Design for Control of Electrical Noise Reference Manual, publication
GMC-RM001.

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
Positive overtravel
Negative overtravel
The positive/negative limit switch (normally closed contact) inputs for each
axis require 24V DC (nominal).
