This article describes an easy method to verify CMD port input signal proper functionality on VSD-E/XE drives.

Setup

Connect drive to GDtool and follow the instructions below. VSDtestInput1.png

  1. Monitor "User configured input" status bit and see if it changes as you toggle the selected input signal on CMD port. Green means that drive reads input value as logic 1 (or 0 if invert option selected).

Note: this method doesn't verify fast toggling signals. Status page update interval is 1-2 seconds so shorter than 2 second pulses may not change status color.
