DRIVE CHANNEL 1 - provides connection to the stepper motor actuator associated
with channel 1. Refer to Appendix A for details of pin outs.
DRIVE CHANNEL 2 - Provides connection to the stepper motor actuator associated
with channel 2. Refer to Appendix A for details of pin outs.
MOTOR CONTROL - The ‘MOTOR CONTROL’ connector exposes a number of
electrical signals useful for external control (e.g. a remote handset). Interlock enable
lines are used to enable/disable the motor drive outputs and are a useful mechanism
for implementing an external emergency stop feature. Motor jogging lines can be
used to jog the motor in both forward and reverse directions. Jogging parameters (e.g.
jog distance) can be set from the front panel or via the PC. Refer to Appendix A for
details of pin outs.
Note. Thorlabs supply a remote jogging handset (Part Number RCU601).
If a remote handset is not used, the terminator supplied must be fitted - see Chapter 2.3.2
for details.
USB - provides connection to a PC for use in remote operation mode - see Chapter
4 for more details on Remote operation.
