'''Pulse and direction''', '''step and direction''' or '''pulse train''' refers to digital signaling type used in position control. Pulse & dir is famous from stepping motor drives but it also can be used in many servo drives as position or velocity [[setpoint signal]].

Pulse & dir contains two digital signal lines:
 
Pulse & dir contains two digital signal lines:
* Pulse (or step) - a signal that will control motion distance & speed

Pulse has constant distance increment, i.e. 1/1000 of revolution. So to rotate motor one revolution it takes 1000 pulses. To rotate in reverse direction, direction signal state is changed.
Position setpoint is changed by one count by rising edge of pulse signal and the direction of change is determined by the state of direction signal during the edge. Pulse has constant distance increment, i.e. 1/1000 of revolution. So to rotate motor one revolution it takes 1000 pulses. To rotate in reverse direction, direction signal state is changed.
