a multi-phase signal, 2 or 3 phases per axis, to the amplifier. For Atlas-connected systems only 2-phase
may be selected.
•
Pulse and direction
means the card expects to connect to a step motor which uses an Atlas step motor
amplifier or standard pulse and direction amplifier. Quadrature feedback is optional with this type of
motor.
• Microstepping means the Developer’s Kit card expects to connect to a step motor amplifier with multi-
phase signal command input, providing 2 or 3 phases per axis. Quadrature feedback is optional with this
type of motor.
•
DC Brush
means the cards expects to connect to a DC brush motor with an encoder, or an externally
commutated brushless DC motor (amplifier performs commutation). With this motor type the card
outputs one phase per axis.
