This manual was created according to the best of our knowledge and belief. It is used for technical documentation and for ® assisting the user during the initial operation. The warnings, cautions and instructions issued by igus regarding the motor controller must in any case be passed on to the end user if the motor controller is used as part of an overall system.
Safety Instructions, Protective Measures and Guidelines Safety Instructions 1.4.1 Classification of Information The degree and type of hazard are assigned to one of the following classes. DANGER! Safety instructions marked with DANGER indicate an imminently hazardous situation. A disregard of the notice inevitably leads to a serious or even fatal accident. WARNING! Safety instructions marked with WARNING indicate a potential hazardous situation.
Product Overview Product Overview This motor controller can control stepper motors with up to 4 A continuous current at a supply voltage of up to 48 V. Ready for immediate use Connect the voltage source, control signals and motor and you're ready to go. No complicated software installation or time- consuming wiring of various additional switches and sensors.

Initial Operation Initial Operation The following describes the initial operation, which makes the start easy. Connect the whole system according to Electromagnetic Compatibility (p. 4) Minimum equipment To control a motor with the motor controller, a minimum equipment has to be provided by the user: Power supply with 24 V up to 48 V and connecting cables Stepper motor with suitable cable Switches/signa generator/microcontroller/PLC...
Initial Operation 4.1.2 Standstill Current and Autotuning If the enable signal is set but no motion command is present, the motor current set via switches SW1 to SW3 is reduced to 50% (SW7 ON) or 90% (SW7 OFF) at standstill. The auto-tuning function allows the motor controller to be optimally adapted to the connected motor.
Initial Operation 4.1.4 Selection Constant Speed If the motor controller is used Loop Mode (p. 13), the desired speed must be preselected by the combination of switches SW4 to SW6 and SW8. The Micro Stepping is set to 25600 (1/128 Step). Acceleration Time (ms) 4.1.5 Drive Mode...
Execution of Movements Execution of Movements Pulse Mode – Step/Direction To execute a movement in pulse mode, a 5 V to 24 V signal must be permanently applied to the EN+ input. If a square wave signal is applied to the STEP+ input, a clockwise motor step is executed with each negative signal edge. To execute a counterclockwise movement, a 5 V to 24 V signal must be applied to DIR+.
