Technical Manual NP5 Fieldbus: EtherCAT Valid for firmware version FIR-v2213 and higher Technical Manual version: 1.5.0 and hardware version W003b and higher to the archive Introduction The NP5 is a controller for BLDC and stepper motors in plug-in module format (PCI-format connector strip) for integration in your own developments. Note: The PCI-format connector strip is not electrically compatible with PCI Express. Under no circumstances is it to be plugged into the PC mainboard. This manual describes the integration of the NP5 in your motherboard and the functions of the controller. It also shows how you can address and program the controller via the communication interface.
