Microstepping Drives offer servo-like performance.
January 7, 2004 - Series P7000 Drives use multi-step positioning to convert full step indexing commands into smooth microstepping resolution. They provide Encoderless Stall Detection™, down to and including rest, without use of separate feedback device. Available for AC or DC operation, Series P7000 can power any 2-phase NEMA step motor. Current auto-tuning techniques make units suited for single or multi-axis applications that require high-speed performance or low speed smoothness.

Danaher Motion Introduces Pacific Scientific Microstepping Drive with Servo-Like Performance
P7000 is ideal choice for high-speed performance or low-speed smoothness
ROCKFORD, IL - Danaher Motion introduces Pacific Scientific P7000 Series microstepping drives. Advanced functionality supported by industry-standard communications options allows the P7000 to provide true servo-like performance at a lower cost than conventional servo drives.
The P7000 is the only microstepping drive available today to offer reliable Encoderless Stall Detection™, down to and including rest, without the use of a separate feedback device. Additionally, these drives use multi-step positioning to convert full step indexing commands into smooth microstepping resolution, making them the only microstepping drive available today with this functionality. This allows users, for the cost of a new drive, to significantly increase machine performance without having to redesign the machine control architecture.
Available for AC or DC operation, the P7000 is designed to power any 2-phase NEMA step motor. Its advanced current auto-tuning techniques make it an ideal solution for single or multi-axis applications that require high-speed performance or low speed smoothness.
A Motion Node option that supports ModBus RTU, CAN Open, or DeviceNet network protocols adds enhanced indexing capabilities at significant savings when compared to the cost of a standard indexer. Because the P7000 can connect to industry-standard networks, users can add positioning capability at a fraction of the cost of using a fully-programmable controller. Users select the intelligent drive that connects to the machine control network of their choice.
