Freesignalinput

When this input be actived (LowActive),

the driver will shut off the output current
and the motor will lose its excitation
holding torque. This, however, will allow
youtoadjusttheloadpositionmanually.

NOTE Forcontrolsignalinput,5VDCcanbedirectlyconnectedandapplied.If
signals are used at a voltage above 5 VDC, be sure to connect an
external resistor to prevent the current from exceeding 16 mA.
