CW/CCW Pulse
When pulse is input at PUL/CW terminal,
the motor will rotate by one step in one
direction.
When pulse is input at DIR/CWW terminal,
the motor will rotate by one step in the other
direction.

Setting switch SW13 to ON after the drive is powered up will
cause the drive to perform a self test rotate the motor back and
forth, two turns in each direction, setting switch SW13to OFF
will disable this feature.
●Self Test
●
The running current of the motor driver is automatically reduced
whenever the motor hasn’t moved for 1 second. Setting the SW4
switch to ON reduces the current to 50% of its running value.
Setting this switch to OFF maintains 90% of the running current.
This 90% setting is useful when a high holding torque is required.
To minimize motor and drive heating it is highly recommended that
the idle current reduction feature be set to 50% unless the
application requires the higher setting.
