Setting the Current
There are two current settings on the R325IE.
1. Run Current (RI) – The peak current that the motor will be run at while in
motion.
NOTE: Current of 2.7 Amp and above REQUIRES an additional heatsink, make sure the
temperature of the bracket does not exceed 45° C.
2. Hold Current (HI) – The current that the motor will receive when idle.
*The default board address of ‘A’ is used in all examples, please see “MA” command for more
