After power on, the module will be ready, and motor is in neutral position (not stopped). Usually, GT-5521 is in “Instant Command Mode” which is activate function command from master (1). If function command (from master) of GT-5521 is done (2), GT-5521 is stay last command status and hold on position (3).

**** ”Position table no.” is only for GOTO_INDEX. NOTE Since the initial state of the motor is in the high impedance state, it is recommended to change to the STOP operation state before other operations. Beijer Electronics, Doc ID: 147240 2025-02...
This section describes the output command modes and individual commands of the stepper module in detail. GT-5521 has two main output modes, “Instant Command Mode” and “Position Table”. It executes only one module output mode at once. The following chapters describes the module output modes: 10.1. Instant Command Mode...

Table 10.3.1. Position Table Run When “Position Table Run” is executed, GT-5521 will perform function commands following the position table list. If the final function command on the position table list is executed, the module will execute the first function command on the position table list.
Page 36
Application Commands If the module is stopped (1) and returns to “Position Table Run”-mode, the module will start at the first function command on the position table list (2). 2025-02 Beijer Electronics, Doc ID: 147240...
