TEST
Self diagnosis function is for motor and driver test.
This function makes the motor rotate with 30rpm in full step. Rotation speed varies with resolution settings.
Rotation speed = 30rpm/resolution
In 1-pulse input method, it rotates to CCW, and in 2-pulse input method, it rotates to CW.
※Be sure that the TEST switch is OFF before supplying the power.
If the TEST switch is ON, the motor operates immediately and it may be dangerous.
2/1 CLK
2/1 CLK switch is to select pulse input method.
1-pulse input method: CW → operating rotation signal input, CCW → rotation direction signal input ([H]: CW, [L]: CCW)
2-pulse input method: CW → CW rotation signal input, CCW → CCW rotation signal input.
C/D (auto current down)
This function is to reduce the current provided for motor automatically for preventing severe motor's heat when motor stops.
If motor RUN pulse is not applied, the current provided for motor reduces as the set STOP current.
※Be sure that when motor RUN current is reduced, the stop torque of motor also reduced.
※Set the STOP current by the STOP current switch.

Setting STOP current is for the current provided for motor when the motor stops for preventing severe motor's heat.
This setting is applied when using C/D (current down) function.
Setting value of STOP current is percentage (%) ratio of the set RUN current.
E.g.) Set RUN current as 2.5A and STOP current as 40%.
STOP current is set as 2.5A×0.4=1A
※When STOP current is decreased, STOP torque of the motor is also decreased.
※When STOP current is set too low, the heat is lower.
※Change STOP current only when the motor stops.

Drivers
Select the step angle (motor rotation angle per 1 pulse).
The set step angle is dividing basic step angle (0.72°) of 5-phase stepper motor by setting value.
The calculation formula of divided step angle is as follow. Basic step angle (0.72°) (AB)
Set step angle = Motion
Resolution Controllers
When using geared type motor, the angle is step angle divided by gear ratio.
Step angle / gear ratio = Step angle applied gear E.g) 0.72° / 10 (1:10) = 0.072°
※Must stop the motor before changing the resolution.
Alarm indication
Overheat: When the temperature of driver base is over 80℃, the alarm indicator (red) turns ON and motor stops with holding the excision.
Overcurrent: When overcurrent occurs due to motor damage by burn, driver damage, or error, the alarm indicator (red) turns ON and the
motor becomes HOLD OFF.
※Turn OFF the power and remove the causes of alarm. Re-supply the power and the alarm indicator turns OFF and the driver is normal
