{{tip|An easy way to verify correctness of two phase '''stepper''' connection: unplug the 6 pin connector and then measure resistance between phases 1-2 and 3-4. Multimeter should show the same resistance for both cases (typically 0.1 - 5 ohms). Also when measuring between phases 1-3, 1-4, 2-3 and 2-4, the multimeter should indicate open circuit.}}

4 VFD 0-12V analog output where voltage level is proportional to PWM duty cycle on pin PWM on X4. PWM frequency must be between 100 and 10000 Hz.
5 RL1 Relay coil driver output 1. When RLIN1 on X4 is logic high, RL1 is pulled to GND by an open collector circuit. When RLIN1 is low, RL1 is floating (max 24V). When connecting a relay that has 24VDC coil between RL1 and supplied 24V, no external free-wheeling diode is needed. Output current rating is max 500 mA.
6 RL2 Relay coil driver output 2. When RLIN2 on X4 is logic high, RL2 is pulled to GND by an open collector circuit. When RLIN1 is low, RL2 is floating (max 24V). When connecting a relay that has 24VDC coil between RL2 and supplied 24V, no external free-wheeling diode is needed. Output current rating is max 500 mA.

Alternative setpoint signals[edit | edit source]

Setpoint mode is selected by software with parameter Setpoint inputCRI and behavior is affected by parameters Setpoint smoothingCIS, Setpoint multiplierMUL, Setpoint dividerDIV, Setpoint offset nullingCAO and Enable direction inputCED.

Signal name Function Used for Remarks
HSIN1 High speed digital input 1 Depending on setpoint mode, can be either:
HSIN2 High speed digital input 2 Depending on setpoint mode, can be either:
  • Direction signal of pulse train (in Pulse and direction setpoint mode)
  • Quadrature B channel (in quadrature setpoint mode)
  • PWM (in PWM and PWM+Dir setpoint modes)
ANAIN- Differential analog negative input Used for analog setpoint mode Setpoint voltage is the voltage difference between ANAIN+ and ANAIN-
ANAIN+ Differential analog positive input Used for analog setpoint mode
