Pin Label Direction Description
8 OUT0 Output (OD)
Open-Drain output. Output will be pulled low when activated.
Voltages up-to logic supply input level (or main supply input in
case separate logic supply is not used) are supported here. Max.
continuous pull-down current: 100mA
Table 9: I/O Connector Pin Assignment
All pins marked light green offer functional isolation towards main supply input. In case this is not required
ISO_COM may be connected to main ground or supply input, of course. The opto-couppler used are AC
types. This way, either high side switches or low side switches for both inputs are supported.
5 On-Board LEDs
The board offers two LEDs in order to indicate board status. The function of both LEDs is dependent on the
firmware version. With standard TMCL firmware the green LED should be flashing slowly during operation
and the red LED should be off. When there is no valid firmware programmed into the board or during
firmware update the red and green LEDs are permanently switched on. During reset to factory default
values the green LED will be flashing fast. With CANopen firmware both LEDs are switched on/off/flashing
according to standard defintion.

6 Reset to Factory Defaults
It is possible to reset all settings in firmware for the PD42-x-1241 to factory defaults without establishing
a working communication connection. This might be helpful in case communication parameters of the
preferred interface have been set to unknown values or got lost.
For this procedure two pads on the bottom side of the module have to be shorted (electrically connected
with each other) during power-on.
Please perform the following steps:
1. Switch power supply OFF (and disconnect USB cable if applicable)
2. Short CLK and DIO pads of programming pads on bottom of pcb (see figure 5)
3. Switch power supply ON again (or connect USB again if applicable)
4. Wait until the on-board red and green LEDs start flashing fast (this might take a while)
