The Motor Control Module is a 2-Axis, pulse output, stepper motor control module.

• STEP and DIR are DC 5V output signals.
• STEP is a pulse signal used to control the speed of the motor. It cannot drive a motor and is intended to be used by a motor driver rather than the motor itself.
• DIR is the signal used to control the direction of rotation. It, too, cannot drive a motor and is intended to be used by a motor driver. (CW –5V, CCW – 0V).
• LIMIT is the signal used for stopping the motor. When the LIMIT signal is received, STEP is stopped immediately.
• Each channel has two limit inputs that should be supplied with DC 24V.

Up to 10 Motor Control Modules can be installed in a single system by giving each module a unique ID using the rotary switch on the face of the module. With the ability to install up to 10 Motor Control Modules in a single system, and each module providing 2 channels, up to 10 independent motor controllers can be used simultaneously.

The Motor Control Module can create an accelerating pulse up to 50KHz.

To drive a stepper motor, a separate motor driver is needed.

The Motion Control modules can be installed in any slot on either the 10-slot main board or the 5-slot expansion board, except the CPU slot.
