4 Lead Motors
Multiply the specifi ed series motor current by 1.4 to determine the current adjustment potenti-
ometer value.  4 lead motors are usually rated with their appropriate series current, as opposed 
to the Phase Current, which is the rating for 6 and 8 lead motors.
8 Lead Motors
Series Connection: When confi guring the motor windings in series, use the per phase (or uni-
polar) current rating to determine the current setting potentiometer value.
Parallel Connection: When...

September 2012 L01019512 Methods of Communication
There are two methods for sending commands to the DPY50601.  One is to directly talk to the 
DPY50601 by using Direct Talk Mode.  This is usually used with a computer or PLC (Programmable 
Logic Controller), where the computer or PLC gives the DPY50601 serial commands to off-load its 
processor.  For example: A PLC can utilize its outputs to toggle the DPY50601’s inputs and gain con-
trol of variable speeds, variable programs, variable distances, etc....

RS232 to RS485 for Multiple units or cables longer than 50ft
The DPY50601 can be connected to your PC serial port via a RS485 converter (model number: 
485SD9TB sold separately).  This converter will convert the RS232 voltage signals to the com-
patible RS485 differential signals.  Only one converter box is needed per serial port.  Contact 
the factory or use the website www.anaheimautomation.com for RS485 converter information 
and sales.

Move Number of Steps: This command causes the motion to start in the direction last specifi ed.  
This command will move the motor the number of steps given.  (Range: 1 to 8388607)
Move to Position: The move to position command specifi es the next absolute position to go to.  The 
DPY50601 controller automatically sets the direction and number of steps needed to go to that posi-
tion.  (Range: -8388607 to +8388607)
Slew: The slew command will accelerate the motor up to maximum...

Jog Inputs: The jog switch inputs are internally pulled up by a resistor making them normally +5 volts.  
To activate the input, the pin must be grounded to (0VDC).  All jog switch inputs are internally clamped to 
+5V, thus allowing voltages of up to +24VDC to be used.  Jog is a manual function.  The user can select 
the direction and speed (fast or slow) by grounding the appropriate combinations of inputs.  To jog a mo-
tor, it is necessary to ground the jog input for the...

Output on the fl y: This special function enables output 1 to turn on during a relative index or absolute 
move.  There are three critical portions of information needed to make this function work correctly.  First, 
output 1 will turn on (0VDC) for a preset delay of 50uS at a specifi c absolute position set by the 1
st output 
position command.  Second, the output can then repeat this after a preset amount of steps set by the 
number of steps between outputs command, and third a...

Encoder Commands: The DPY50601 controller is capable of using a quadrature incremental encoder 
with A and B channels.
Encoder Auto Correct: This command will enable or disable the encoder feature of the DPY50601.  
When enabled, the encoder function will compare the desired position with the actual encoder position. 
If it is not in the correct position a correction move will be made.
Encoder Delay: This sets the wait time, which is a specifi ed number of milliseconds after a...

The SMC60WIN software is a handy utility that supports Anaheim Automation’s line of DPY50601’s 
step motor controllers.  Connecting your PC to the DPY50601, via a serial cable, the SMC60WIN 
software can easily perform the following tasks:
•  Exercise and monitor the DPY50601 controller
•  Write and edit stored programs for standalone operation
•  Directly communicate with the DPY50601 controller
