Motion Complete Trippoint
When used in stepper mode, the MC command will hold up execution of the proceeding commands until the
controller has generated the same number of steps out of the step count register as specified in the commanded
position. The MC trippoint (Motion Complete) is generally more useful than AM trippoint (After Motion) since the
step pulses can be delayed from the commanded position due to stepper motor smoothing.

Using an Encoder with Stepper Motors
An encoder may be used on a stepper motor to check the actual motor position with the commanded position. If an
encoder is used, it must be connected to the main encoder input. Note: The auxiliary encoder is not available while
operating with stepper motors. The position of the encoder can be interrogated by using the command, TP. The
position value can be defined by using the command, DE.

Note: Closed loop operation with a stepper motor is not possible.
