Configuring for Open Loop Stepper
- Jack Degrano

Owned by Jack Degrano
When using the ACR controller card with Stepper outputs, the following configuration must be set...
The CONFIG command must be set to indicate Stepper operation. See CONFIG for the proper syntax for use of this command.
The ATTACH AXIS command must be set to indicate stepper operation. See ATTACH for the proper syntax for use of this command.
*** Steppers will NOT function correctly without these two set correctly ***
***********************
Example: If an ACR2000 card is to be used with 4 steppers, no encoders and no ADC option, the CONFIG and ATTACH AXIS command would be:
CONFIG ENC0 STEPPER4 NONE NONE
ATTACH AXIS0 STEPPER0 STEPPER0
ATTACH AXIS1 STEPPER1 STEPPER1
ATTACH AXIS2 STEPPER2 STEPPER2
ATTACH AXIS3 STEPPER3 STEPPER3
