8.13.2.3 Step/Direction 5V, 1.5 MHz (X5)
Wiring of the servo amplifier (SubD connector X5) to a stepper-motor controller witha5V
signal level.
Frequency limit: 1.5 MHz
Type GEARMODE
Step/Direction 5V 4
8.13.3 Master-Slave Connection
You can, for example, link several S300 amplifiers together in master-slave operation. Up
to 16 slave amplifiers can be controlled by the master, via the encoder output.
8.13.3.1 Master Slave 5V (X1)
Functionality not available.
8.13.3.2 Master Slave 5V (X5)
Master: position output to X5 (screen page "Encoder emulation")
Slave: screen page "Electronic gearing" (GEARMODE)
Frequency limit X5: 1.5 MHz
Example for Master-Slave operation with two S300 amplifiers:
Slave GEARMODE: 3 Master ENCMODE:1
