920-0118 Rev B STRAC2 Hardware Manual 03/26/21 3.3 Connecting the Inputs and Outputs 3.3.1 Step & Direction Inputs The STRAC2 Step Drive has two high speed optically isolated inputs called STEP and DIR. They accept 5 to 24 volt single-ended or differential signals, up to 2MHz.
920-0118 Rev B STRAC2 Hardware Manual 03/26/21 3.3.2 EN input The EN input enables or disables the drive amplifier. It is an optically isolated input that accepts a 5 to 24 volt single-ended or differential signal. The maximum voltage that can be applied to the input is 28V. When EN input is closed, the driver amplifier is deactivated, all the MOSFETs will shut down, and the motor will be free.
920-0118 Rev B STRAC2 Hardware Manual 03/26/21 3.3.3 Fault Output The FAULT Output is optically isolated. The maximum collector current is 100mA, and the maximum collector to emitter voltage is 30 volts. The output can be wired to sink or source current. When drive is working normally, the output is open.
920-0118 Rev B STRAC2 Hardware Manual 03/26/21 4 Switch Selection Many of the operational parameters of the STRAC2 can be set or changed by position switches - either by a single switch or a combination of ON/OFF settings of 2 or more switches. Idle Current Microstepping Running Current...
920-0118 Rev B STRAC2 Hardware Manual 03/26/21 4.2 Running Current The output current is set by the SW5, SW6 and SW7 switches. There are 8 settings. NOTE: Drive’s running current will be limited by the lower value between motor selection rotary switch or the dip current switch Current (Peak) 0.6A...
920-0118 Rev B STRAC2 Hardware Manual 03/26/21 4.6 Step Smoothing Filter Command signal smoothing can soften the effect of immediate changes in velocity and direction, making the motion of the motor less jerky. An added advantage is that it can reduce the wear on mechanical components. SW11 selects this function - ON enables it, OFF disables it.
920-0118 Rev B STRAC2 Hardware Manual 03/26/21 5 Motor selection Each position of the 16-bit rotary switch selects a different motor, and automatically sets the configuration parameters in the drive. The STRAC2 drive comes programmed with up to 16 typical motors as factory defaults. Drives can be customized with specially selected motors when required.
