7.1.1.3 Driver control modes
Driver control mode section displays current mode of the driver - Figure 8.
Default (ext Step/Dir) – this is the driver default state which enables Step/direction control
using external controller. Enable axis, Step IN, and Dir IN inputs shall all be connected for
proper operation.
Step/Dir – in this mode driver generates the driving signals. The mode is mainly used for
driver settings adjustments – fine tuning. Please see subsection 7.4 Step control.
DC motor – two DC motors can be controlled using direct PWM signals. Please see subsection
7.6 DC motor control.
Trajectory – in this mode the driver take over controller parts of motion planning. Required
position and speed profile parameters can be set. Please see subsection 7.5 Auto control.
BINx Up/Down – upgrade to “Trajectory” mode where movement is triggered by external
buttons. Please see subsection7.5.2 BINx Up/down mode.
Speed / Auto run mode – the mode enables automatic starting of driver at power up or
start/stop using external switch. Please see subsection 7.5.3 Speed / Auto run mode.
7.2 Basic user control of the PoStep driver
Basic user control section enables user selection of predefined driver configuration sets, setting
currents: full scale, idle, overheated reduction, and temperature limit. Moreover, the basic
manipulation with driver data is enabled: readout, change, and store. Furthermore, each of the
drivers can be set an unique name for easier identification.
