Key Improved Features
What it Means to the User
1
 Extended DAC output to 12 bits Better control of motor response vs. 8 bits
2
 Encoder 3-stage filter, adjustable clock input, and swap Ch A and Ch B inputs Glitch free digital filter and ability to correct connection problems w/o rewiring
3
 Improved ESD protection > 2kV HBM Less damage in handling and assembly
4
 Profiles upgraded to include S-Curve Smoother profiles with less jerk
5
 Adj. DAC saturation foldback limit Protects motor from over current
6
 Resolution and range of velocity registers extended to 24 bits Accurate velocity control, increased smoothness

New Features
What it Means to the User
1
 Programmable Breakpoint location w/ absolute and relative modes Can output a pulse when a selected location is reached or a pulse every 'x' counts
2
 Stepper motor mode with optional encoder feedback Can detect motor stalls and driver faults
3
 Adjustable DAC offset Automatically corrects system offsets
4
 Deadband and position error registers Eliminates chatter on the system
5
 Hardware built-in automatic backlash compensation Backlash errors are corrected when position moves switch direction
6
 PID filter w/ programmable gains, integral limit and differential span Provides stability of servo system using advanced PID algorithm with feedforward terms
7
 Exception handler provides feedback to host controller Allows errors and programmed events to be handled correctly
