When using the Driver Only portion of the R325, use the dip switches for step 
resolution and current settings. 
 
Using the R325 as a Driver Unit Only 
 
If using the R325 as a Driver only,
be sure to connect the power supply last.
 
Pin 1: Connect Pin 1 to Pin 4 to use the internal +5VDC. By using the internal 
+5VDC the I/O’s will no longer be optically isolated. If optical isolation is still 
desired, use a separate +5VDC supply and connect the POSITIVE end of the supply 
to Pin 1. The NEGATIVE end will connect with the NEGATIVE end of your pulse 
generator. 
 
Pin 2: Use a pulse generator or function generator to receive pulses into the R325. 
Connect the POSTIVE end of the pulse generator to Pin 2. The NEGATIVE end will be 
connected to the NEGATIVE end of the +5VDC supply if using a separate power 
source. If using the internal +5VDC supply, connect the NEGATIVE end of the pulse 
generator to Power GROUND. 
 
Pin 3: To switch the direction of motor rotation, connect Pin 3 with Pin 11, Power 
Ground. An open or closed connection to Power Ground will change the direction. 
 
Pin 4: This is the internal +5VDC. Use this for testing purposes or if optical isolation 
of the inputs is not desired. It can output a max of 50 mAmps. 
 
Pin 5: To enable the drive leave this Pin open, disable the drive connect Pin 5 with 
Pin 11 (Power Ground). An open or closed connection to Power Ground will enable 
and disable the drive, respectively. 
 
Pin 6: Phase A Motor Connection 
 
Pin 7: Phase A Motor Connection 
 
Pin 8: Phase B Motor Connection 
 
Pin 9: Phase B Motor Connection 
 
CAUTION:
Connecting Motor
phases (A, A Bar, B, B Bar) to 
the incorrect location while the 
R325 is powered will cause the
board to burn. Be sure to insert motor 
phases into Pins 6 through 9, in the order 
of A, A Bar, B, and B Bar. It is 
recommended that power is connected 
last, so that all connections can be 
checked before power up. 
 
 
Pin 10: The Fault Output is not available for the basic R325. This feature is used on 
the R325I and R325IE. 
 
Pin 11: Connect the NEGATIVE of the Power Supply to this terminal. 
 
Pin 12: Connect the POSITIVE of the Power Supply to this terminal. (+12 to 48VDC)
