Amplifier/Driver Command Signals

Servo Amplifier Signals

The servo amplifiers used in the servo versions of the nuDrive accept an 
industry-standard ±10 V analog torque (current) command signal. Servo 
motion controllers used with the nuDrive provide this standard output and 
are programmed to close both the velocity loop and position loop using an 
enhanced PID algorithm.

Stepper Driver Signals

For stepper drivers, there are two industry standards for command signals:

Step and Direction signals (nuDrive standard)

Independent CW and CCW pulses

The nuDrive uses stepper drivers that have active-low step and direction 
inputs. You must configure the stepper outputs of your stepper controller 
for Step and Direction signals with inverted (active-low) polarity. This 
configuration is the National Instruments default output configuration for 
stepper controller boards and nuDrives.

Optional Configurations

Warning

Be sure to turn off the ENABLE switch and disconnect the main AC power as 

well as the E-Stop 115 VAC input from the nuDrive before opening the nuDrive cover or 
accessing any components within the nuDrive.

This section describes optional configurations for your nuDrive accessory. 
The nuDrive is factory configured with default settings appropriate for 
many applications. If required, you can modify the parameters and settings 
on the individual axis drivers to meet your specific application 
requirements.

E-Stop Terminal Block

The E-Stop option has a separate three-position removable screw terminal 
block on the nuDrive back panel.

Note

Your nuDrive is shipped with the E-Stop disabled. To enable the E-Stop, remove the 

jumper from JP1 located on the interface board inside the nuDrive. JP1 is the single two-pin 
header near the E-Stop 3 position terminal block.
