4.5 Onboard drive interface (C230-2, C240)
Connector to drive unit
Drive units with an analog interface (±10 V) or stepper motor power units with at least one
clock pulse input and direction input can be connected to the 50-pin Sub-D socket X2. Any
hybrid configuration can be used for up to four drives.
In addition, the C230-2 and C240 provide one enable signal per axis.
With the C240, this interface (X2) can also be used for standard outputs:
● 4 analog outputs
● 4 digital outputs
