2.6 Drive enable
To operate the MintDrive, the drive stage must be active and enabled. This requires an externally
generated 24VDC supply to be connected between pins 1 and 12. This connection can be wired
directly or through an intermediate switch; if a s witch is used it should always be used to switch the
signal to pin 1, with the signal to pin 12 being hard-wired.
Location
Connector X13, pins 1 & 12
Name Drive enable
Input voltage +24VDC (±20%)
Note: The drive enable connection controls the sense of the digital inputs
DIN10 to DIN17 (see pages 35 to 37).
Active high: To cause the digital inputs to be active high (active when
a voltage of +24VDC is applied to them) connect +24VDC to pin 1 and
0V to pin 12.
Active low: To cause the digital inputs to be active low (active when
grounded) connect +24VDC to pin12 and 0V to pin 1.
The sense of the digital inputs can also be controlled through the Mint
software, using the keyword INPUTACTIVELEVEL.
For the drive to operate, it must be enabled using the Mint keyword
DRIVEENABLE or RESET.
