5. Connect pin 15 (LSP - forward rotation stroke end/forward limit) and pin 14 (LSN - reverse rotation

stroke end/reverse limit) to pin 13 (COM), or configure the drive to ignore limit inputs.

Note These configuration settings disable limits for initial setup and testing purposes. National

Instruments recommends connecting and enabling limits in your final application. Refer to the drive

documentation for limit input requirements.

6. Connect pin 9 (COM) to pin 10 (LG - control common).

Note Not connecting pin 9 and pin 10 will result in unpredictable behavior.

7. Connect any additional I/O, such as limits, DIO, position compare outputs, position capture inputs,

and so on, using the NI 9930M screw terminal connectors. The J1 and J5 connectors allow

connection to the drive I/O signals, and the J7 connector provides connection to the NI 9512 I/O

signals. Refer to the drive or the NI 9512 module documentation for specific signal connection

requirements.

depending on the drive. Refer to the drive manual for information about how to set drive

parameters.

•Mitsubishi MR-J2—Set parameter P 21 to 1 (signed pulse train).

•Mitsubishi MR-J3—Set parameter PA 01 to 0 (position control) and PA 13 to 1 (step and

direction). You may also need to set parameter PA 05 (pulses per rev) to the appropriate setting

for your encoder.

2. Ensure that the drive encoder output pulses and electronic gear parameters are set to the default

values:

Mitsubishi MR-J2

a. Set parameter P 27 to 4000 pulses per rev. If you change this from the default value, you must
