Page 37 1-pulse input mode Connect the pulse signal of the controller to pin No.11 and No.12, and the rotating direction signal to pin No.9 and No.10, respectively. When the DIR input is “ON,” a rise of the “PLS input” from “OFF” to “ON” will rotate the motor one step in the CW direction.
Page 38 C.OFF (All windings off) input Note Use the signal only when the motor’s output shaft must be rotated manually for position adjustment. • Normally, keep the C.OFF input in the “OFF” state or leave it Warning • Do not turn the C.OFF (All windings off) input to “ON” while the motor is disconnected.
Page 39 Output signals Note Driver output signals are photocoupler/open-collector output, transistor open-collector output Be sure to use the same voltage for the TIM1, ASG1 and BSG1 outputs, and line-driver output for the TIM2, ASG2 and BSG2 for C.OFF, ×10 and ACL inputs outputs.
Page 40 TIM (Timing) output Note TIM output are available in two types: transistor open-collector output and line-driver output. Use either one to suit the input system of the positioning controller. If TIM output is to be detected, set the pulse speed at 500 Hz or The use of TIM output requires separate 5 or 24 VDC power.

Page 43: Setting
Setting This section covers the selection and settings of driver functions. The various switches provided on the driver’s front panel allow for the setting of resolution, pulse-input mode, current level and speed filter. Warning • Before working on the system, shut off the power to the driver and wait 10 seconds.
Page 44: Pulse Input Modes
Pulse input modes Note Either the 2-pulse or 1-pulse input mode may be selected in accordance with the controller used. Be sure to shut off the power before using the pulse-input mode selection switch. Factory setting The new pulse mode takes effect [2P]: 2-Pulse Input Mode when the power is turned on again.
Page 45: Speed Filter
Speed filter Use the speed-filter selection switch “V.FIL” to select the filter time constant that determines the motor’s response to pulse input. The switch provides a selection of 16 levels ranging between “0” and “F.” When a larger value is selected, it will reduce shock when the motor is started and stopped, and will minimize low-speed vibration.
