Title: DMC-1425/3425 Configuration Options
The DMC-1425 and DMC-3425 are available in three versions: standard, XSTEP
option, and STEPPER option. The standard version controls two servomotors.
Controllers with the XSTEP option control one servomotor and one stepper motor
(must be x axis). Controllers with the STEPPER option control two stepper motors.
DMC-1425/3425: These units come from the factory hardware-configured to control
two servomotors; use the MT (motor type) command to configure the proper
servomotor polarities.
DMC-1425/3425-XSTEP: These units come from the factory hardware-configured to
control a stepper motor on the x-axis and a servomotor on the y-axis; use the MT
command to configure the proper motors and polarities.
DMC-1425/3425-STEPPER: These units come from the factory hardware-
configured to control two stepper motors; use the MT command to configure the
proper stepper motor polarities.
The ICM-1460 is an interconnect module available in two versions used to breakout
the 37 pin DMC cable to a terminal strip. Special care is needed when wiring the
ICM-1460 as the pin-outs on the ICM-1460 are different from the 37 pin DMC cable.
Take special care if not using our ICM-1460 to breakout the terminations. Terminal
numbers listed below are for the ICM-1460.
