Controller Sinking or Sourcing
Tracker IPm (except for Brushless motor applications) are generally shipped from the factory with Sourcing as the default setting. This is the common setting for brush motors. For some brushless motor controls digital inputs must be Sinking so here is how you make the change. In the device configuration:
Open Toolkit
Configuration 1220 Series
Save the settings and download to the controller.
The software part is completed, now you must change the hardware.

- Grasp the Tracker IPm module on the Top and Bottom as shown in Fig 1.
- Squeeze the 2 tabs labeled “PRESS” firmly and pull out the module.
