5.2.8 Adjusting chopper mode
The SIXpack 2 supports “Mixed Decay” which provides reduced motor resonance at medium velocities
and improved microstep exactness. This mode can be switched off by the DIP-switches if desired.
5.3 Connections
Initial operation of the SIXpack 2 is possible after installing current supply and serial interface.
5.3.1 Current supply
Any power supply unit with an output voltage of 15-48V may be used. The required current is conform to
the usage and quantity of motors. The connector is labeled POWER. Be aware that the polarity is correct
and make sure that your supply voltage never exceeds the absolute maximum rating.
With an appropriate current supply the LEDs “+5V” and “+24V” light up and the 7-segment-display shows
zero. If the display shows “8”, “C” or “F”, or the unit resets continuously, an internal defect has been
detected. When continuous resets occur, the Flash memory could be erased. You can try to swap flash
with an other device.
5.3.2 Serial interface
The RS232 interface is connected via a null modem cable with one serial interface of the PC.
5.3.3 Motor connectors
CAUTION: Connecting or disconnecting while power on may damage the motor drivers
of the SIXpack 2.
The function “Driver enable” (refer to 5.2.6) provides the possibility to disconnect motors while the
modules power is on. Thereby all actual settings are retained.
The motors are connected with the 8 pin connectors. The pinning of the connectors are as follows:
