New Product: Multiphase stepper controller
The multiphase ICD200 stepper controller/driver is a stand-alone system designed to execute trapezoidal and S-curve shape (memorydata) acceleration/ deceleration motion profiles in both two and four-phase stepper motors.
Three
operation modes are
available: Sensor mode, absolute position mode,
and relative position mode. The unit is rated at
1.2 A/phase for unipolar stepper motors and 0.6 A/phase
for bipolar motors. Input power is 24 Vdc with power
consumption of 36 W. This single-axis integrated system
provides 20,000 steps/rev microstepping resolution. An
onboard potentiometer lets users easily adjust driver
running currents. Up to 15 devices can be daisychained
using the RS-485 communication protocol. Input/output
interface functions include: Photocoupler inputs, point
starting code bits, home search start, immediate stop
and direction of rotation, current off, and an alarm output
sensor interface option.
