Enabling the Gate Mode
Enable the Gate mode of operation by shorting pin 21 (see Table 9) to the
ground. Verify that pin 16 is not shorted to the ground at the same time. Once
pin 21 is shorted, the driver is in Gate Mode. The TTL signal should now be
conducted through pin 16. (See also section

Using the AB1A to Drive LS Motors
Under normal conditions, the LS series of motors should not be operated with
command voltage exceeding 3.5V. To allow some margin in cases, which
require momentarily use of higher power, the AB1A for the LS series of motors
is limited to 5V.
Nanomotion expects that during normal operation, the commanding controller
should protect the motor, and assumes that in continuous operation the
command will not exceed 3.5V. The protection scheme is as follows: the torque
limit at the controller must be set to half of the maximum command voltage (5V),
and be limited to 5 seconds. The controller RMS torque limit must be set to 35%
of the full command.
