Assembly and function

The step motor control is working in half-step operation. The supply of the step motors amounts 
to maximum 40 volts DC. The operation control boards are protected against any kind of short 
circuit. Any malfunctions are displayed by flashing up of the red LED. After correcting the 
malfunction, it is sufficient to switch off the controller and to switch it on again.
