AllMotion: High Resolution Stepper Motor Driver + Controller with Encoder EZHR17EN
The EZStepper was
designed to allow the rapid implementation of stepper motor solutions in
products requiring automation.
Measuring
only 1.6" x 1.6" (40mm x 40mm), the fully intelligent stepper motor
Controller + Drivers are designed to be bolted onto the back of the stepper
motors that they control. A single 4 wire bus, containing 2 power wires and two
communications wires, links up to 16 such stepper motor controllers in a daisy
chain. Commands can be issued from any serial terminal program (such as
HyperTerminal) or from the EZStepper Windows
application.
The Commands are
intuitive and simple. For example, the command A10000 will move the stepper
motor to Absolute position 10000. (This communications protocol is compatible
with devices that use the Cavro DT or OEM protocol.)
The
EZStepper is also capable of stand-alone operation with
no connection to a PC. It can be set to execute a preset string of commands
upon power up (i.e., only power is required in this mode). The Commands include
nested loops and execution halt pending a switch closure, which is useful in
stand-alone applications.
The EZHR17EN Stepper Motor
Controller will work with any stepper motor that is 3" or smaller (size23
or smaller). Our Starter
Kits enable a first time user to make a Stepper Motor move
intelligently in less than half an hour.
