Subject: Kstep Axis proteccion

Does the kstep have any proteccion in case any axis get stuck like overcurrent or something like that?

No KStep is an open loop stepper driver.  Current doesn't increase when a stepper motor gets stuck.

You can added encoders to monitor movement.

Thanks for the replay, one more question, if I have kflop and kstep connected, can I still use encoders? because reading the documentacion it appears that it use the same connector

Yes it is possible. KFLOP JP5 has 4 encoder inputs. The encoder inputs can also be multiplexed to JP4 and JP6. They are only single ended inputs. See also:

It's there a model I should use or any single-ended encoder should work?
any recomendation?

USdigital.com is one source.  Any incremental 5V quadrature encoder should work.  Its best to purchase encoders with differential outputs as they can still be used with single ended encoder inputs by simply not connecting the complementary signal.   If later you have noise issues you can then add differential receivers and use the same encoders.
