Number Name Content
1 Power input 110/220 VAC power input and 24VDC output, or 24VDC input for DC systems.
2 Status display

Displays the motion controller's operation mode:

  • PWR LED

  • RUN LED

  • ERR LED

  • STATE LED

  • RD/WR LED

See CPU Status Indicators below for details.
3 SD card connector SD memory card slot.
4 Mode switch

Sets the motion controller's operation mode.

  • RUN

  • STOP

  • RST

See CPU Mode Switch below for details.
5 SD card command button

Three operations possible:

  • Press button for less than 3 seconds for additional function (backup, recover, compare) according to script setting.

  • Press button for 3 seconds or more to turn SD power ON/OFF.

  • Pressing the button during power up initiates boot operation.
6 USB mini-B connector USB connection access for XG5000.
7 Ethernet connector Port to communicate Ethernet and connection access for XG5000.
8 EtherCAT port EtherCAT port for controlling EtherCAT nodes.
9 Encoder input connector Encoder input signals.
10 Digital input connector Connector that accepts digital input signal.
11 Digital output connector A connector that outputs a digital output signal.
12 Analog input connector Connector that accepts analog input signal.
13 Analog output connector A connector that outputs analog output signal.
14 Input/output display Digital input/output, analog input/output, encoder input LED status.

 

CPU Status Indicators

Indicator Label Description
PWR Red LED is illuminated when power is on.
RUN Green LED is illuminated when CPU is in RUN mode.
ERR Red LED is illuminated to indicate an error. OFF if no error is present.
STATE Red light ON when the SD card is installed. The red light flickers when an SD card error occurs.
RD/WR Flickering Red during SD memory reads or writes.

CPU Mode Switch

Switch Label Description
RUN Executes the user program. Online edits are possible. Cannot perform a full Write from XG5000 when the switch is in this position.
STOP Default behavior is to not RUN the program. This is the default position of the CPU. XG5000 allows the user to use this position as a Remote Run from their program. XG5000 can perform a full Write operation when the switch is in this position.
RST Reset the program's operational state.
