Input Logic
The controller inputs are capable of accepting either NPN or PNP
outputs. The default setting is configured as a sinking input to
connect to a PNP sourcing output. In order to connect the input
to an NPN output the jumpers In1 and In2, on the main PCB, must
be adjusted as described in Table 3 and Figure 2.
Table 3: Input Logic as Described by Jumper Settings
Figure 2: Input Logic Sinking/Sourcing Is Defined by the Jumper Setting
Output Logic
The 45MLA controller uses push-pull outputs that can be
connected to either sinking or sourcing input cards. Additionally,
the output logic can be inverted using DIP switch S1:5. The
procedure to do this is detailed in the sections describing each
controller.

LED Indicators
The following table indicates the status and description for each
LED on the controller’s main PCB.

DIP Switches
DIP switch settings and descriptions are detailed in model-
specific sections in this document. Change DIP switch settings
only when the controller power is off.
Potentiometer Settings
The time settings of outputs Out1 and Out2, overhang duration
(t_ot) and minimum output duration (t_out), can be adjusted
using the corresponding potentiometers, as described by the
following table.

I/O, RS485 and CAN controllers.
Basic controller (only when double-scan mode is selected, for example,
via DIP switch 4).
Potentiometer 1 is not used on the analog controller model.
