  • Page 18: Software For Cdr-Dcb / Step

    CDR-DCB can be set to either torque (current) or speed (voltage) mode and is used typically with digital controllers that calculate position and velocity from the motor's encoder. CDR-STEP driver is able to micro-step precisely and reduce power automatically. Current-limit provides protection for motors while optimizing acceleration characteristics.
