Adjusting the maximum current
The maximum current of the SIXpack 2 can be set via DIP-switches. The switches are close to the motor
connectors. This adjustment allows a coarse adaptation of the current setting to the motors’ maximum current.
Additionally it provides a compatibility setting for the former QUADpack and SIXpack, which had different
maximum currents. With the appropriate DIP-switch configuration the SIXpack 2 is fully software compatible. For
fine current adjustment please see 5.6.1 and 6.2.1.2.
