6.2.2 Power sequencing
The drive does not require power sequencing. The drive protects against inadvertent writing during power-up
and down. Daisy-chain operation requires that power be maintained on the terminated drive to ensure proper
termination of the peripheral I/O cables. For the benefit of the system power supply, the drive power-up can be
delayed using the motor start delay option.
6.2.3 Current profile
Figure 3 identifies the drive +5 V and +12 V current profile. The current during the various times is as shown:
Note. All times and currents are typical. See Table 2 for maximum current requirements.
