DESCRIPTION
The SNAP-SCM-ST2 pulse output module is a two-channel serial
communication module that provides pulse and direction signals for
stepper motor drives. Each channel is isolated from the logic side. The
module can either output a constant frequency, or it can ramp from
one frequency to another.
The SNAP-SCM-ST2 links up to two stepper motors which can be
controlled by a SNAP PAC controller running a PAC Control™ strategy.
LED indicators are provided to indicate activity on each port.
The module snaps onto an Opto 22 SNAP PAC mounting rack.
SNAP PAC racks accommodate up to 4, 8, 12, or 16 I/O modules, with
a maximum of 8 serial modules (including SNAP-SCM-ST2) on any
one rack. Because the SNAP-SCM-ST2 module is mounted on these
standard racks with other SNAP I/O modules, you can use the
combination of analog, digital, and serial modules required by your
application at the location where they are needed.
SNAP racks have a retention rail locking system. Use two 4-40 by
½-inch standard machine screws to hold each module securely in
position on the SNAP rack.
NOTE: SNAP-SCM-ST2 modules require a SNAP PAC EB-series brain or
ies
controller with firmware R9.1a or newer. These modules do not
R-ser
work with SNAP PAC SB-series brains nor with legacy brains or controllers.

Commands Supported
The SNAP-SCM-ST2 module supports the following pulse output
commands in PAC Control:
SetPulseFrequency outputs a set frequency until instructed
to do otherwise.
SetPulseSequence ramps from one frequency to another.
ReadPulseFrequency returns a string representing a channel’s
current frequency. This command requires SNAP-SCM-ST2 module
firmware version R1.0d or newer.
These pulse output commands
the Transmit/Receive String command.

How the SNAP-SCM-ST2 Outputs Data
The SNAP-SCM-ST2 outputs a specified frequency based on the
command received, as shown here.
The Direction pin can be either +5 VDC or 0 VDC, as determined by
the parameters of the command executed. See “Using the SNAPSCM-ST2 Module Commands” in the SNAP Serial Communication
Module User’s Guide (form 1191).
