Battery power support
It has a wide power supply voltage specification that allows it to be used with a battery power source. It supports DC24V and DC48V. The operating voltage range is as follows.
![When using with DC24V](https://www.orientalmotor.co.jp/sites/default/files/image/products/alpha-step/az-mini-driver/az-mini-driver_07_ja.webp)
* For motors with electromagnetic brakes, it is DC22.8 to 32V.

Optimal current control for energy saving
It is equipped with a servo emulation mode that optimizes the current supplied to the motor according to the load conditions.

Visualization of power supply voltage
The driver’s power supply voltage can be monitored from a host control device.
![Visualization of power supply voltage](https://www.orientalmotor.co.jp/sites/default/files/image/products/alpha-step/az-mini-driver/az-mini-driver_11_ja.webp)
When the driver’s power supply voltage falls below a preset threshold, it outputs a signal.
