7. Driver control mode displays current driver control mode
7.1.1 PoStep driver status
Figure 6: PoStep driver status section
Figure 6 notes:
1. PoStep application version info – please check for latest update of PoStep application.
2. Power supply voltage – displays main power supply voltage.
3. Driver status – displays driver statuses
4. Driver temperature – displays main power supply voltage.
7.1.1.1 Driver statuses
 Driver active – there was a signal change in step/direction inputs in the last 10 seconds. Full-
scale active current value is set
 Idle – there was no change on step/direction inputs for more than 10 seconds. Idle current
value is set
 Overheated – when driver exceeds limit temperature values drivers goes into overheated
mode. Reduced current value is set
 Fault detected – displays that at least one of possible driver faults were detected. Please
check fault type in Advanced settings.
7.1.1.2 Input statuses
The application shows real-time data of all the driver IO pins - Figure 7 (tick represents high level):
 Bootloader override – the pin should always be high
 Enable axis / SLEEP – high level enables diver operation. Low level puts the driver to sleep
mode
 Step IN / AIN1 – this is Step input signal in stepper motor operation or Motor 1 PWM control
AIN1 when in DC motor control mode
 Dir IN / AIN2 – this is Direction input signal in stepper motor operation or Motor 1 PWM
control AIN2 when in DC motor control mode
 BIN1 – Motor 2 PWM control BIN1 when in DC motor control mode
NOTE!
Driver real-time values are only available when driver is in application mode. In
bootloader mode all driver features are disabled.
CAUTION!
The displayed temperature value may differ from the actual driver temperature due
to indirect contact. Parts of the diver can have higher temperature than one
displayed and as such might cause you burns if touched.
