Quasimoto (Customer) asked a question.
Indexing Drive: Does AD sell a stepper drive similar to the Gecko G216 that has onboard pulse and limit switch capability?
Thank you!
Thank you!

Our STP-DRV-80100 is an Advanced Stepper Drive that the you can take a look and compare with the one you have.
There are many technical details, so it maybe easier to call our Tech Support team at 1-800-633-0405 for a call to discuss directly your specific needs and possibilities.

The advanced stepper drives are quite expensive. One thing I'd consider is using a CLICK Plus (must be a "Plus") and a "dumb" stepper drive. That could give more flexibility at probably a lower price but it would require some programing.

Thanks for the responses. This is a really basic piece of motion, so I was hoping to do it very simply/economically , but I’ll have a look at the Click+ just to see how much it might add. Thanks again

Trying to spec a system, but cannot seem to find a page showing how to connect SureStep drives/encoders to a Click Plus.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

Users Manual Chapter 3, Page 52 starts the section on High Speed. Generic drawing on Page 3-55 for Step-Direction wiring. https://cdn.automationdirect.com/static/manuals/c2userm/ch3.pdf
As mentioned, check the specific Output Module (for example C2-14D1 or C2-14D2) specification sheets for more detailed wiring information. https://cdn.automationdirect.com/static/specs/c214d1.pdf
Some drives have 5 volt Inputs and will require resistors to interface between the 24vdc Outputs and the Step/Direction Inputs. The drive manuals will specific if these are required.
The High Speed Configuration Window will guide you through the available features and automatically decide the best I/O pins for each.

The Advanced SureStep drives can run at a set speed and can index (send set positions to it serially). If you just need a stepper that can generate its own speed like the G216, take a look at the Leadshine DM805-AI stepper drive. It can run in pulse input, 0-5V analog speed input, low/high speed (internal potentiometer), and external potentiometer modes.
