Manual Layout
You will most likely read this manual for one of two reasons:
If you are curious about the Integrated Stepper Indexer/Driver/Motor products from AMCI, this manual
contains the information you need to determine if these products are the right products for your applica-
tion. The first chapter,
SMD23E2 & SMD24E2 Specifications
contains all of the information you will
need to fully specify the right product for your application.
If you need to install and use an Integrated Stepper Indexer/Driver/Motor product from AMCI, then the
rest of the manual is written for you. To simplify installation and configuration, the rest of the manual is
broken down into
references
and
tasks
. Using an Integrated Stepper Indexer/Driver/Motor product
requires you to complete multiple tasks, and the manual is broken down into sections that explain how
to complete each one.
