General
Stepper motors can be connected to the CNC by the terminals
- single-channel pulse train output terminals
- single-channel stepper motor terminals with/without incremental encoder interface
. Velocity command values output by the CNC through these terminals are converted to a signal format suitable to control stepper motors.
The single-channel pulse train output terminal generates an output signal suitable to control a stepper motor power output stage (e.g. a pulse/direction signal). The single-channel stepper motor terminals already contain power output stages for the direct control of 2-phase stepper motors.
