Drive module extension
With the drive module expansion, the controller can
be expanded to include slots for two additional step-
per motor output stages. The function of the additio-
nal channels is determined with jumpers on the main
circuit board: Either ...
• ... as a second drive connected in parallel
to one of the existing axes X, Y, or Z („slave“
circuit). Or ...
• ... as an additional axis A or B, for example for a
rotary table.
Proceed as follows for installation:
•
If necessary, first remove the existing other
modules so that you have unhindered access to
the jumpers on the main circuit board (Fig. 35).
• Plug in the jumpers for „CH-A“ and „CH-B“
according to the desired purpose. One jumper
each at STEP and DIR determines whether the
additional stepping motor should run as a slave
from X, Y, or Z, or whether the channel is to be
controlled as an additional A or B axis. See also
sheet 6 of the circuit diagram.
• If necessary, reassemble the removed modules.
• Assemble the expansion module in place using
the spacers and screws provided.
• Connect the standard drive module and the
extension with the enclosed ribbon cable.
• Ensure the correct parameterization of the
additional power stage(s) as described on page
13.
• Plug the additional power stage(s) into place.

Note
The jumpers for STEP and DIR of a channel must
each have the same designation in order to ensu
-
re a meaningful assignment. For example, STEP
X and DIR X for operation as a slave of X, or STEP
A and DIR A for use as an additional axis A.
