AB5 Operation

3.2.1 Velocity
Mode
Operation
In this operation mode, the motor is driven continuously by applying the analog
command voltage (± 10 V) using a relevant interface device (joystick or motion
controller). This is the driver default.
3.2.2 Step
Mode
Operation
In this operation mode, the driver output to the motor is turned on and off for fixed
time intervals defined in the hardware as follows:
ON phase - 1/16 second
OFF phase - 0.5 second
The amplitude of the output corresponds to the analog command input value and
thus determines the speed of the motor.
3.2.2.1 Enabling the Step Mode
Short pin 16 to ground to enable Step mode operation.
3.2.3 Brake
On
Mode
This option is used when the inherent break force of the motor is needed. The
driver is disabled and the motor is turned off. (NOTE: although the driver is disabled,
there is no reseting, as is the case when disabling is carried by the Emergency Stop
or by the Enable_in inputs)
3.2.3.1 Enabling the Break_on
Short pin 17 to ground to enable the break. Disconnect it from ground to get the
Break_Off.
