FUNCTION

TYPE

MS

Microstep Resolution

Motion Variable

DESCRIPTION

The MS variable controls the microstep resolution of the MDrive Motion Control. There are 14 parameters that can be used with this variable, 8 binary and 6 decimal. The table below illustrates the parameter settings and their associated resolutions for the 1.8° stepping motor used with the MDrive Motion Control.

The MS parameters given in the table below are the only valid parameters that will be accepted by the MDrive.
