Number Axis Parameter Description Range [Units] Access
212 Maximum
encoder
deviation
When the actual position (parameter #1) and
the encoder position (parameter #209) differ
more than set here the motor will be stopped.
This function is switched off when the maximum
deviation is set to zero.

RW
214 Power down
delay
Standstill period before the motor current will be
switched to standby current. The default value
is 200 which means 2000ms.

RWE
215 Absolute
resolver value
Absolute position of the internal sensOstep en-
coder. The absolute position is within one motor
rotation.

216 External
encoder
position

RW
217 External
encoder
prescaler
Prescaler for external encoder. See section
6.3.
RW
218 Maximum
external
encoder
deviation
When the actual position (parameter #1) and the
external encoder position (parameter #216) dif-
fer more than set here the motor will be stopped.
Setting this parameter to zero turns off this func-
tion.

254 Step/direction
mode
0 Normal mode. Step/dir mode off.
1
Use of the ENABLE inputs on step/dir
connector to switch between hold cur-
rent and run current (no automatic
switching) .
2
Automatic switching between hold and
run current: after the first step pulse the
module automatically switches over to
run current, and a configurable time af-
ter the last step pulse the module auto-
matically switches back to hold current.
The ENABLE inputs on the step/dir con-
nector do not have any functionality.
3
Always use run current, never switch to
hold current. The ENABLE inputs on the
step/dir connector do not have any func-
tionality.
4
Automatic current switching like (2), but
the ENABLE inputs are used to switch the
driver stages completely off or on.
5
Always use run current like (3), but the
ENABLE pins are used to switch the
driver stages completely off or on.
