Step Motor Driver Cards
Our driver cards have a simple "step and
direction" interface. Nearly any programmable
device with two outputs can control a stepper
motor with our drivers. This includes PLC's,
embedded controllers and personal computers.
Our drivers can be ordered with opto-isolation to
protect your equipment, 5V DC regulators to
supply the opto-isolators or your controller board,
and a variety of connector styles. All drivers have
on-board over-voltage, over-current, and over-
temperature
protection.
Our most
popular OEM
driver board is
the MM 2.0. It
features
adjustable
output current
up to 2.0A per
phase. It has a
compact form factor and an on-board 5V power
supply is available. The interface is simple, and
we can create custom cables and connectors to
integrate this board into your application.
Driver/Controller Card sets
Our driver/controller card sets are designed for
systems that require the integration of a complete
motion control solution. Standard configurations
offer 1 to 8 axes, typically adjustable up to 2.0A
per phase at 4X microstepping. As always, other
configurations are available.
These card
sets are fully
programmable
with on-board
memory for
stand-alone
operation. On-
board
diagnostics are
standard, and a
self-test
program comes pre-loaded in the controller's
memory from our factory.
The driver/controller combinations offer additional
features, such as the ability to read optical home
sensors for slip-detection, manual control features
(like jogging), and discrete I/O for controlling other
equipment.
