I am using a Leadshine Microstep Drive DM542 stepper motor controller connected to a NEMA 23 2-phase stepper motor. I followed the same wiring connections as specified in the documentation.
Here are the images of my setup for reference:
When I tried to ping the motor using the Stepper servo robot skill in Synthiam ARC, I did not receive a response. I followed the instructions and configured everything as directed. However, the motor is continuously moving back and forth in very minute steps. Could someone help me understand where I might have gone wrong? Additionally, how can I configure the stepper motor to function like a servo motor?

Check the wiring because it’s not correct if that’s happening.

This is for kslaxme- stepper motors are a whole different animal than typical servos. They start at 1 and go to whatever you want. Say you make top end one thousand steps you start at one , go to 1000, if you go to 500 that is your center point. There are all kinds of learning curves with this one.
This is for kslaxme- your min starts at 100 and max at 150. This is totally different from servos -we are talking about pulses pulses pulses At a minimum it's 400 pulses to make one revolution on your driver so if you go from 100 to 150 its 50 pulses 1/8 of a turn you won't see it even if it happened.
