− | VSD-E/XE has configurable I/O pins in the CMD connector. User may choose any of the pins to act as enable input and also polarity of signal can be selected (inverted/non-inverted). When using VSDEPI, the correct choice as disable input is "Analog input 2 as digital input" with inverted setting. When voltage on analog input 2 is low (or no signal, i.e. disconnected wire), drive is disabled. | + | VSD-E/XE has configurable I/O pins in the CMD connector.
