G210X STEP MOTOR DRIVE

REV 5: March 25, 2011

Once the jumpers have been located they may be set according to the diagram below. Please note that the four pins closest to

the optoisolator are unconnected and can be used as jumper storage. It is recommended that needle nose pliers or tweezers be

used to adjust the jumper settings. The power to the G210X must be turned off before any adjustment is to be made on the step

pulse multiplier.

METHOD OF OPERATION FOR STEP PULSE MULTIPLIER:

The G901X step pulse multiplier still allows all of the benefits of microstepping at low speeds and full stepping at high speeds that

the G201X has. The step pulse multiplier works by outputting a set number of pulses to the main motor control board it is

attached to, which is the G201X in the case of the G210X.

If the step pulse multiplier is set to full stepping mode it will output ten microsteps for every pulse it receives on its input; as far as

the base drive is concerned, it is always microstepping at its normal rate. This means that the drive will continue to morph to full

step at higher speeds to allow the highest possible torque from the motor.

RESTORING FACTORY DEFAULTS

To restore the G210X to the factory settings set the trimpot to the 11 o’clock position and set SW1-SW10 to “ON”.
