Parameters | Logic high levels should be greater than 2 volts. |
---|---|
Logic low should be less than 1/2 volt. | |
Step pulses are active low. | |
Step pulses should be at least 22 microseconds long. | |
The lines labeled as LinuxCNC inputs or outputs can be disregarded in other systems. | |
For use with software other than LinuxCNC, make sure your software addresses the correct I/O lines for step and direction as shown below. Sherline is not able to provide assistance for other programs. For help with the LinuxCNC software, see http://www.linuxcnc.org/ | |
We recommend at least an 800 MHz Pentium class computer or faster for use with the frequency mode. | |
In operation, the power to the motors will be reduced to half current after 3 seconds of inactivity. This can be changed to 1/4 power with a jumper on H1. | |

Headers on PC board | H1 – Will reduce current to 1/4 after 3 seconds |
H2 – Unimplemented H3 – Will remove power from drivers immediately (panic stop) | |
RESET – Will hold the drivers in reset condition | |
Motor Connectors | 5-pin DIN male |
Five to 30 volts (better performance at higher voltage) | |
