• Status: Discontinued, available as OEM spare parts or refurbished units

6. Function & Positioning

• Core Function: Receives logic signals from the main spindle drive controller, provides electrical isolation, amplifies signals, and drives gate relays to switch dry contact outputs for spindle start/stop, speed interlock, and safety protection.

• Signal Flow: Main controller logic → Opto-isolation → Gate relay drive → Dry contact output

• Positioning: Spindle-dedicated relay control & signal isolation board for industrial AC/DC drives. Ensures reliable interlocking and safety logic for spindle operation.
