Using This Manual
This user manual provides information for proper operation of the DMC-2x00 controller. A separate
supplemental manual, the Command Reference, contains a description of the commands available for
use with this controller.
Your DMC-2x00 motion controller has been designed to work with both servo and stepper type
motors. Installation and system setup will vary depending upon whether the controller will be used
with stepper motors or servo motors. To make finding the appropriate instructions faster and easier,
icons will be next to any information that applies exclusively to one type of system. Otherwise,
assume that the instructions apply to all types of systems. The icon legend is shown below.
