AMP: DC Microstep Drive w/ Si Programming (1240i Series) 12-42VDC
Step motor drives from Applied Motion Products offer unparalleled performance for today's modern machine builders. From the ground up these drives offer best-in-class current control for optimal smoothness and torque, robust and flexible on-board control options, and industry-standard industrial network communications.
1240i: DC Microstep Drive w/ Si Programming
The 1240i is a programmable step motor driver suited for a wide range of motion control applications. It includes a sophisticated controller integrated with a 48-watt microstepping amplifier.
The 1240i includes Applied Motion’s easy to use Si Programmer™ Windows software for the rapid development of stand-alone motion control programs. The 1240i can also be commanded from a host PC or PLC, using the Serial Command Language (SCL). For multi-axis applications, up to eight Applied Motion Si™ drives (stepper and servo) can be networked using a single SiNet™ Hub.
The 1240i includes eight (8) optically isolated programmable inputs for triggering, branching, position sensing and end of travel detection. Three (3) optically isolated programmable outputs can send signals to other electronic devices and activate relays.

1240i-485: DC Microstep Drive w/ Si Programming & Encoder Input
The 1240i-485 is a step motor drive with on-board controller designed for use in applications that require streaming serial commands to one or more drives over an RS-485 serial connection. The drive provides up to 48 Watts of power to the step motor.
The 1240i-485 comes with an RS-485 port instead of the RS-232 port on the standard 1240i, enabling multiple 1240i-485 drives to be used in a multi-drop serial network in which a host PC or PLC commands the drives using SCL commands.
The 1240i-485 includes eight (8) optically isolated programmable inputs for triggering, branching, position sensing and end of travel detection. Three (3) optically isolated programmable outputs can send signals to other electronic devices and activate relays.
Note that the 1240i-485 does not support the Si Programmer™ Windows software. If your application requires stand-alone programming using Si Programmer™ see the standard 1240i drive.
