Press Release Summary:
Model D404 uses constant current bi-polar chopping with full on-board programmability to drive and control hybrid stepper motors. Rated at 40 Vdc input and 4 A/phase output, unit can be configured for full-step, ½-step, ¼-step, and 1/8th step. Thirteen inputs including 2 configurable I/O ports allow drive to receive and respond to signals from external system components. Programming language allows user to create and store motion profiles.Original Press Release:
New Programmable Stepper Drive Simplifies Repetitive Movement
DOVER, NH - EADmotors announces the addition of a programmable motion control Stepper Drive to their product line offering. The D404 Drive uses constant current bi-polar chopping with full on board programmability to effectively drive and control hybrid stepper motor applications. Rated at 40VDC input and 4 amps per phase output, the D404 can be configured for full-step, half-step, quarter-step and 1/8th step resolution.
Thirteen input including two configurable I/O ports allow the D404 to receive and respond to signals from external system components. The flip of a jumper converts all of its input to PLC logic-level inputs, providing an easy interface with any PLC device.
The drive's programming capability reduces cost by eliminating the need for a secondary controller. The easy to use programming language allows the user to create and store motion profiles including acceleration, deceleration, hold and run current, position targets and slew velocity. Other simple commands let the user respond to input signals from the external system and drive secondary devices such as relays or solenoids based on the needs of the system.
The D404 is ideally suited for applications where simple, reliable, cost-effective motion control is required. Typical applications include chemical test stations, dispensing equipment, feed and cut, and multi-axis lifts.
