STF-4X-ECX Hardware Manual
1 Introduction
Thank you for choosing MOONS’ STF-4X series stepper motor driver. The STF-4X series is a
high-performance bus-controlled 4-axis stepper motor driver, which also integrates the function
of an intelligent motion controller. It can operate as a standard EtherCAT slave and supports CoE
(CANopen over EtherCAT).
