Synscan question

Can somebody tell me, if when I select a slew/ tracking speed on my
HEQ5 hand controller, does the controller directly set the desired speed, or does it simply tell the motor controller board what speed is required, and the board actually sets the speed? I know nothing about stepper motors; assuming that the supply voltage is within the acceptable range,
can the motor run slow, or is it a case of they work, or they don't?
If my problem should turn out to be the motor board, does anyone know whether it is possible to get it looked at, or where to get a replacement?
Thanks in advance
