2.6.6 Pulse Enable
Functional Description
Pulse enable permits the output of pulses from the 1STEP 5V/204kHz to the power unit.
A run is not possible without pulse enable.
Activating Pulse Enable
You can activate pulse enable by one of the following methods:
● By means of the digital input DI 3
(parameter assignment: digital input DI = external pulse enable) or
● By means of the control bit DRV_EN
(parameter assignment: digital input DI = external STOP)
You can tell that pulse enable has been activated by the following:
● The RDY LED on the 1STEP 5V/204kHz lights up, given correct parameter assignment
and pulse enable.
● The STS_DRV_EN feedback bit is set
Deleting the Pulse Enable
Deleting the pulse enable during a run terminates the run immediately because no more
pulses are emitted to the power unit. Without pulses, the stepping motor comes to a
standstill. The residual distance is then no longer valid. The synchronization of the axis by
means of the reference point is lost. The SYNC feedback bit and the RDY LED are deleted.
Deleting the pulse enable when the motor is at standstill deletes the SYNC feedback bit and
the RDY LED.
In these cases it is advisable to carry out a search for reference.
