The STL Stepnet Micro Module is a stepper motor drive in a 4 in² PC board mounting package that combines CANopen networking with 100% digital control of stepper motors. Power output is compatible with most NEMA 17 and 23 size stepper motors. The small footprint is well suited for desktop instrumentation and enables motor drive, interface, power supply, and control circuits to be combined on a single PC board. Stepnet Micro Module can also operate as a stand-alone driver taking incremental position commands from step motor 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.
