Assembly and Installation
The stepper positioning assembly can be wired for 1-axis operation
with a stepper translator and motor as shown in Figure 2.1. One
stepper controller module can control up to three pulse output
expander modules installed in the same chassis. When the
application calls for 2-or 3-axis control, each additional expander
module should be wired as shown in Figure 2.1. No more than one
stepper controller module can operate in an I/O chassis.

Pulse output expander modules can be controlled manually by the
use of switch inputs for stop, jog forward and jog reverse. The stop
switch will cause output pulses to the corresponding axis to cease
instantaneously. Jog switches are operational only when the
corresponding axis is at rest.
