PLC 2.0/4.0

The Motion Group, Inc. now offers a standard product requiring only inputs commonly used in PLC programming. Created/Modified specifically for use with PLC's. Voltage output available to power external PLC.
The PLC unit, combining a high-speed, high-power step motor driver with a matched power supply, requires only PLC inputs (step and direction), motor and AC line power.

Any typical unipolar or bipolar motor, regardless of voltage, is connected to the output terminals of the PLC unit. Full, half or quarter step size and also micro-step is available depending on the card style installed.

Max Output current;
        PLC 2.0 = 2.8A peak (2.0A RMS) per coil
        PLC 4.0 = 5.7A peak (4.0A RMS) per coil
        Max output current is dial-able (dial pot eliminates current measurements).

Parking control reduces power during standstill for reduced motor heating.

Over-voltage (Vmm and Vcc), over-current, over-temp and rev-polarity protection is standard.

“DC OK” indicator lamp.

The PLC Interface Package comes standard with an optically isolated translator-driver card, a 24 VDC motor power supply with fuse, filter and line cord.

Standard input connection is an 8 pin screw terminal connector and outputs are 6 pin Molex. Others on request.

Cooling is convection (no dropping resistors or fans).

Mounting is by tapped holes from the bottom of the case.
