accuracy and track ramping (both acceleration and
deceleration)
· Dual axes with separate scaling for each axis
· Encoder or clock input
· Encoder division up to 128
· Differential encoder or single ended encoder inputs
· Backlash logic
· 16 bit internal calculations
· Open-drain clock output
DESCRIPTION
The FOLLOWER-200 is a dual axis step motor controller that runs a step motor (the slave
motor) in...

#L010043FREQUENCY IN
ENCODER OUTPUTThe Frequency In is determined by the source of the pulses coming in.  For a quadrature
encoder signal, the Frequency In will equal 4 Times the rate of the encoder due to the
quadrature decoding.  For Example, a 400 line encoder going 1 revolution per second will
give a Frequency In of 1,600 pulses per second.
ENCODER FREQUENCY DIVIDER
The maximum frequency in is 50,000hz or quadrature state changes, it may scaled down by
using the ENCODER FREQUENCY DIVIDER set of dip...

#L010043INTERNAL FREQUENCY
The Internal Frequency is determined by the Scale Factor Dip Switch Settings.  The
Frequency In, as discussed in the previous page is multiplied by the scaler number.  This
section will help you to set the desired scaler number.
Remember: the Internal Frequency will be divided by 1, 2, 4, or 8 to produce the final Output
Frequency sent to the step motor driver and it is recommended to use the highest divider (8) to
obtain the smoothest pulse train output.
There are 4 hex...

The Internal Frequency is divided by the Frequency Out Divider by 1, 2, 4, or 8 depending on
the Dip Switch Settings. To obtain the maximum smoothness possible use the largest
Frequency Out Divider possible for the application.  This will produce the lowest amount of
dither on the pulse...

#L010043OPERATION
To change any of the values, the reset button must be pressed after changing the DIP
switches or rotary switches to accept the new values.
JUMPERS
The Jumpers should be in the Up Position (as shown in the diagram) for Differential
Quadrature Encoder Inputs, and in the Down Position for Single-Ended Quadrature Encoder
Inputs.
DIMENSIONS
The board dimensions are 8.15” x 2.85” with mounting holes at the four corners.  An optional
track is available for use with Din Rail mounting.

A Conveyor turning at 2760 RPM
A 60 line encoder is attached to the conveyor shaft
This is feeding a divide-by-10 microstep driver with a 200 step/revolution motor.The conveyor is turning at 2760 RPM which is 46 RPS.
