Parker: Stepper Drive (E-DC Series)

Lower-Cost DC Power Input Microstepping Drive

Compumotor’s new E-DC microstepping drive is designed for a 48VDC input power requirement and provides current up to 4.8 Amps peak of current to the motor.

Performance:

• Designed for use with motor inductance range of 0.2 mH–80 mH

• Three-state current control allows the drive and motor to run cooler and more efficiently than two-state drives.

• Selectable resolution up to 50,800 steps/rev

• Auto standby reduces motor current (and heating) at rest

• Provides 0.2 Amps to 4.8 Amps (peak)

• Single 24-48 VDC power supply input

• Compatible with a variety of motors

• Six predefined current waveforms to optimize smoothness

Protection:

• Optically isolated step and direction inputs

• Short circuit protected—phase-to-phase, and phase-to-ground

• Power dump circuitry to protect drive from regeneration caused by large inertial loads

• Self-test feature to verify proper system operation

• Over-temperature circuitry protects the drive from thermal damage

Physical:

• Status/fault LED indicators to confirm proper operation

• ASIC and surface mount technologies minimize product footprint, overall package size, and increase product reliability.

• Removable snap-on molded cover for convenient configuration and protection against contaminants.

• Optically isolated fault output for embedded applications

• Heat plate design allows thermal dissipation through a suitable heat dissipating mounting surface.

• Simplified, two-screw mounting

• Right-angle screw terminal allows side-to-side mounting or Eurorack compatibility

• Overall dimensions 5.0 x 3.6 x 1.6 in. (127 x 91 x 41 mm)

• Convenient configuration DIP switches

• Certified as UL-recognized component

• CE (LVD & EMC)
