There are four hall-less commutation options available:

Optimum search 1

Commutate the motor using a minimum motion algorithm the first time the drive is enabled following power-up.

Stepper open loop search 1

Commutate the motor by forcing the motor's electrical angle the first time the drive is enabled following power-up. The motor will move up to one electrical cycle.

Optimum search 2

Commutate the motor using a minimum motion algorithm every time the drive is enabled.

Stepper open loop search 2

Commutate the motor by forcing the motor's electrical angle every time the drive is enabled. The motor will move up to one electrical cycle.

Prior to firmware version 2.00, when using hall-less commutation, the P Drive will generate an AL-31 alarm if none of the hall inputs are connected. To prevent this from happening, place a jumper between pin 5 (hall phase U) and pin 7 (digital ground) on the drive's feedback port.
