Your 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.

Attention: Pertains to controllers with more than 4 axes.
Please note that many examples are written for the DMC-1740 and DMC-1840 four-axes controller or
the DMC-1780 and DMC-1880 eight axes controller. Users of the DMC-1730/1830 3-axis controller,
DMC-1720/1820 2-axes controller, or DMC-1710/1810 1-axis controller should note that the DMC-
1730/1830 uses the axes denoted as XYZ, the DMC-1720/1820 uses the axes denoted as XY, and the
DMC-1710/1810 uses the X-axis only.

the axes as A,B,C,D,E and F, and the DMC-1770/1870 denotes the axes as A,B,C,D,E,F and G. The
axes A,B,C,D may be used interchangeably with X,Y,Z,W for any of the DMC1700 or DMC-1800
regardless of the number of axes.
