Using This Manual
This user manual provides information for proper operation of the DMC-40x0 controller. A separate supplemental

and system setup will vary depending upon whether the controller will be used with stepper motors or servo motors.
To make finding the appropriate instructions faster and easier, icons will be next to any information that applies
exclusively to one type of system. Otherwise, assume that the instructions apply to all types of systems. The icon
legend is shown below.
