5.6.9: Non-Latched and Latched Custom Outputs 
Like an amplifier fault, a custom-configured output can be non-latched or latched. 
If a non-latched, custom-configured digital output goes active, it goes inactive as soon as the last of 
the selected events is cleared. 
If a latched output goes active, it remains active until at least one of the following actions has been 
taken: 
• power-cycle the amplifier 
• cycle (disable and then enable) an enable input that is configured as 
Enables with Clear Faults or Enables with Reset 
•
access the CME 2 Control Panel and press Clear Faults or Reset 
• clear faults over the CANopen network 
Latching an output does not eliminate the risk of unexpected motion with non-
latched faults. 
!
DANGER 
Associating a fault with a latched, custom-configured output does not latch the fault 
itself. After the cause of a non-latched fault is corrected, the amplifier re-enables 
without operator intervention. In this case, motion may re-start unexpectedly. 
For more information, see Clearing Non-Latched Faults (p. 26).
Failure to heed this warning can cause equipment damage, injury, or death. 
Custom Event Output Faults 
An output configured for Custom Event can be programmed to go active in response to events, 
including any of the amplifier faults described in Fault Descriptions (p. 27).
Example: Custom Output Fault Handling vs. Overall Fault Handling 
A fault on an output configured for Custom Event is separate from a fault on the amplifier. For 
instance, suppose: 
• OUT3 has a Custom Event configuration. Only the Under Voltage fault condition is selected, and 
the output is latched. 
• Under Voltage is not latched on the Configure Faults screen. 
An under voltage condition occurs, and the amplifier goes into fault condition, output stages are 
disabled, and faults are reported. At the same time, OUT3 goes active. 
The under voltage condition is corrected, and: 
• The amplifier fault is cleared. Output stages are enabled. 
• OUT3 remains active.
