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.

Installation Installation Mechanical Installation WARNING! • Danger of malfunction • Fire hazard • Explosion hazard Never operate the motor controller in water or in an aggressive, flammable, or explosive atmosphere. Always pay attention to the environmental conditions CAUTION! The length of the screw for fastening the top-hat rail clip must not exceed 4 mm, otherwise the controller might be destroyed The installation in a switch cabinet can be performed on a TS 35 mounting rail (EN 50022) by mounting a separately available top-hat rail clip –...

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 Configuration 8 dip switches (SW) are available for configuring the motor control. These can be used to preselect the emitted motor current during a movement, the step mode, the emitted current at standstill and the fixed motor speed in jog mode as well as executing the autotuning. 4.1.1 Motor Current The motor current output during a movement can be adjusted depending on the connected motor by combining switches SW1...
Initial Operation 4.1.3 Micro-Stepping If the motor controller is used in Pulse Mode (p.13), the desired micro step mode must be preselected by the combination of switch SW4 to SW6 and SW 8. By preselecting the micro steps per motor revolution, the precision, the resulting vibrations, and the noise of the motor can be directly influenced.
Execution of Movements Motor Direction For a proper operation, it is necessary that the motor rotates in a defined direction. For determination, please use the following procedure: View onto drive shaft Executing a motion Pulse Mode: Apply a step signal at STEP+ Jog Mode: Apply a constant signal at STEP+ Clockwise rotation corresponds to a right-hand rotation If the motor rotates counter-clockwise, the polarity of the motor connecting cables must be changed.
