capabilities
The R101 is a ‘Step and Direction’ driver for bipolar step motors.
Limited controller functions are provided that allow trapezoidal profile position moves
and ramped velocity moves to be made.
Provision is made to reduce motor current when just holding in a fixed position after
a preset time.
The module can be configured and controlled via a simple RS485 communications
bus. Multiple modules each set with a different address code can be controlled on the
same bus.
All of the user configurable parameter values can be saved to a non-volatile memory
and automatically restored after a power down power up cycle.
