Options
Each R356 comes with the following cables (Lin part number 090-00018, 090-00096, and 090-00153):
4-pin cable | DB-15 cable with white 3-pin connector | 6-pin cable

• The R356 is a fully intelligent controller and driver in one. Commands can be issued from any serial terminal program, such as HyperTerminal, or from Lin Engineering’s Graphical User Interface, LinControl. (have LinControl link to the download section)
• Commands are simple and intuitive. This communication is compatible with devices that use the Cavro DT or OEM protocol.
• The R356 controller is also capable of stand alone operating with no PC. It can execute a pre-programmed string of commands upon Power up. Commands include nested loops, wait statements, halt commands, software selectable currents, speeds, acceleration, microstepping, and more.
The Designer’s Kit (sold separately) enables first time users to become well acquainted with the options of R356 Controller/ Driver.
RS485 Designer’s Kit (Lin part number: RS232KIT) Includes:
• RS485 to RS232 Converter Card
• An Optical Sensor
• Red Switch Push Button
• 3-Pin Cable
