Re: HELP Gecko G320/G340 FAULT/RESET MANAGER circuit

Bill,

Good morning! All you need with the G320/340s shipping now (as of
Dec. 1)is to simply hook all the ERR/RES lines together. If any one
drive faults then it will pull the others down as well (up to a total
of 4 drives). No external circuitry is required anymore.

A monentary SPDT center-off switch can be used to enable and disable
the drives. Take the NO contact to "encoder +" (term 7) of any one
drive and the NC contact to "encoder -" (term 6) of the same drive.
The common goes to "err/res" (term 5) of all the other drives as
well. This input is not noise sensitive.

The only sure fire e-stop for DC brush servodrives is to kill power
to the motor power supply.
