  • Page 4 Almost all power stages for stepper motors, and many servodrives are co n- trolled by couples of 5V signals Clock (or Pulse, i.e. rotation of an increment) and Direction (rotation sense). AxeMotion CNC modules are able to produce these signals in an intelligent way by receiving and processing high -level commands that are sent by the supervision software.
  • Page 5 The XY dimensions of the AxeMotion PulseMaker card are 100 x 80 mm and a thickness of about 25 mm (from solders to power relay). Unit : mm It is obvious that the card should not be mounted directly on a met al support that would shortcut the solders.
  • Page 6 A poor quality wiring is the cause of recurrent errors. Please take great care of the integration and the electrical wiring of your AxeMotion card. The inputs of the PulseMaker card are default "pulled-up" to the +5 V. Conse- quenly, an input is triggered when connected to the ground (GND) of the card.

  • Page 8 Important: connections differ for the AxeMotion PulseMaker version that is fitted with HE10 male connectors with double rows of pins and locator which require female connectors to be clipsed on wire tapes. Warning, the list of numbered signals on a wire tape will not be the same wether you have a HE10 or a screw connector.

Consequently, a Galaad update may induce an automatic firmware update if the option is ticked.
