ANT130R Hardware Manual
3.4. Limits, Marker, and Machine Direction
Aerotech stages are configured to have positive and negative "machine" directions. The machine
direction defines the phasing of the feedback and motor signals and is dictated by the stage wiring (refer
to
Section 3.5.
for Motor and Feedback phasing information). Programming direction of a stage is set by
the controller that is used to move the stage. Programming direction is typically selectable in the
controller, while machine direction is hardwired in the stage.
