### 2. Electronic Components & Connectivity
The "R2/N" designation often refers to the specific wiring and sensor configuration:
#### A. The Motor System
* **Stepper/Servo Integration:** It usually features a 2-phase or 5-phase stepper motor.
* **Wiring:** Standard 4-lead or 6-lead configurations for the motor, allowing for bipolar or unipolar driving.
* **Voltage/Current:** Typically operates within 1.5A to 3.0A per phase depending on the torque requirements.
#### B. Sensors (The "N" Designation)
* **NPN/PNP Output:** The "N" typically signifies **NPN Open Collector** logic for the internal sensors.
* **Home Sensor:** A photoelectric sensor used to define the "Zero" or reference position.
* **Over-travel Limits:** Protects the mechanical assembly by cutting power if the stage rotates beyond its intended range (though many rotary stages offer 360° continuous rotation).
#### C. Connector Pinout (Standard)
Most units in this series use a D-Sub or circular aviation connector.
1. **Motor A / A-:** Phase 1
2. **Motor B / B-:** Phase 2
3. **VCC (5-24V):** Power for sensors
4. **GND:** Common ground
5. **Home Signal:** NPN Output
