Appendix 5 / Discrete Isolated Inputs 
The discrete isolated inputs allow the MICRO 4000 NET system to be remotely controlled by the 
customer's PLC. There are eight control inputs: SERVO-CENTER, EDGE A, EDGE B, LINE / 
CENTERLINE, MANUAL, IN, OUT, and AUXILIARY. All inputs are opto-isolated. 
Warning:  It is the responsibility of the customer to insure machine safety. Changing the 
mode of operation from any source (front-panel switchpad, fieldbus, or Discrete Isolated 
Inputs) can cause machine motion. 
Note:  All discrete isolated inputs are opto-isolated, including the AUXILIARY input. If your 
application requires a non-isolated AUXILIARY input, then set parameter 72 to 1. Refer to 
page 17 for more information about setting controller parameters. 
Electrical Specifications: 
Discrete Isolated Inputs (per input) 
On-state voltage (activated)  12 VDC minimum 
24 VDC nominal 
31 VDC maximum 
On-state current (activated)  5.0 mA minimum 
8.0 mA nominal 
14 mA maximum 
Off-state voltage (deactivated)  2.7 VDC maximum 
Input impedance  2.2 K-ohms minimum 
Isolation  30 VAC max. between any terminal 
and ground 
Duration (momentary mode only)  100 ms minimum 
Operation: 
Note: Refer to page 17 for more information about setting controller parameters. 
• The control inputs are either maintained or momentary, depending on the setting of 
parameter 27. 
In the maintained mode, deactivating all inputs will cause the actuator to stop. 
In the momentary mode, deactivating all inputs will cause the system to remain in the last 
valid operating mode. If the system is in Manual mode, deactivating all inputs will cause 
the actuator to stop. The IN and OUT inputs must be maintained in order to move the 
actuator. 
•  The function of the AUXILIARY, EDGE A, EDGE B, and LINE / CENTERLINE inputs 
depends on the setting of parameter 51 and 52. 
•  The INHIBIT input overrides all Discrete Isolated Inputs. To allow the Discrete Isolated Inputs 
to operate properly, the INHIBIT input must be inactive.
