Disclaimer

Zaber's devices are not intended for use in any critical medical, aviation, or military applications or
situations where a product's use or failure could cause personal injury, death, or damage to
property. Zaber disclaims any and all liability for injury or other damages resulting from the use of
our products.

Precautions

Zaber's Auto Detect peripheral devices are designed to be used effortlessly with Zaber's line of
Auto Detect controllers. The VSR-E includes onboard memory that allows Zaber's controllers to
auto-detect the model and set reasonable parameters. See the
Protocol Manual
for more
information on how to modify the settings. Damage to the device may result if the settings are not
correct. To use your Zaber peripheral with a third-party controller, review the motor, sensor, and
encoder specifications and pin-outs carefully.
Zaber's motion control devices are precision instruments and must be handled with care. In
particular, moving parts must be treated with care. Avoid axial loads in excess of the rated thrust
load, axial and radial impact, dust and other contaminants and damage to the lead screw thread.
These will reduce the performance of the device below stated specifications.

  • Page 2 Fixed width type indicates communication to and from a device. The symbol indicates a carriage return, which can be achieved by pressing enter when using a terminal program. ASCII command followed by (T:xx) indicates a legacy T-Series Binary Protocol command that achieves the same result.
  • Page 3 Encoder B Encoder Index Ground Motor B2 Motor A2 Not all pins are used for all models Alternate Controllers The VSR-E can be controlled by any 2-phase stepper motor controller with limit sensorand appropriate encoder input. We do not recommend using your own controller unless you are familiar with how to control a stepper motor with hall sensor limit switches.
  • Page 4 resistor (R ) is 10k and for the bypass capacitor is 0.1uF to 1uF. The larger the capacitance, LOAD the better the noise filtering but the slower the response time. Installation VSR-E stages can be mounted using M6 screws to a standard metric breadboard, or to various Zaber devices.
