Stepnet STM is a stepper motor drive that combines CANopen networking with 100% digital control of stepper motors. When used with Accelnet™ and Xenus™ digital servo drives, it enables brushless, brush, and stepper motors to be controlled over the same distributed network. In addition to CANopen motion commands, Stepnet can operate as a stand-alone drive. Inputs can be incremental position commands from controllers in Step/Direction or CU/CD format, as well as A/B quadrature commands from a master-encoder. Step to motor position ratio is programmable for electronic gearing.

DESCRIPTION
Stepnet is a stepper motor drive that combines CANopen networking with 100% digital control of stepper motors. When used with Copley’s Accelnet™ and Xenus™ digital servo drives it enables brushless, brush, and now stepper motors to be controlled over the same distributed network. In addition to CANopen motion commands, Stepnet can operate as a stand-alone drive.
