h. Apply power and run self test
The DRV-4 and DRV-8 have built in Self Test functions.
When switch 8 is moved to the ON position, the
drive will automatically rotate the motor back and
forth, two turns in each direction. This feature can
be used to confirm that the motor is correctly wired,
selected and operational. Factory default is “OFF.”

The drives have three inputs:
• STEP: a high speed digital input for step pulse commands, 5-24 volt logic
• DIR: a high speed digital input for the direction signal, 5-24 volt logic
• EN: a 5-24V input for commanding the removal of power from the motor

Microstepping provides smoothest rotation. However, a faster step pulse
rate (frequency) is required for a given RPM as shown in Table 8 below.

STEP and DIR inputs can be converted to STEP CW and STEP CCW by
moving the internal jumper S3. For detailed instructions, go to Step “K” of
this section.
Refer to the illustration below for identification of step, direction, and
enable inputs on the driver screw terminal blocks.
